Sequences with Props
Experience how thoughtfully integrated props can elevate an entire sequence. These full-length classes show how support enhances transitions and opens the door to advanced asanas with confidence and grace.
Yoga props are powerful tools that make challenging poses more accessible, support progress through different stages of practice, and bring greater depth and new sensations to foundational asanas.
Designed for both dedicated practitioners and yoga teachers, this course offers a thoughtful progression of asanas using blocks, straps, and a bolster to build strength and stability while safely increasing flexibility and range of motion.
Whether you are new to yoga and want to build a strong foundation, an experienced practitioner refining your alignment, or a teacher looking to integrate props into your classes, this course offers a clear and structured framework filled with practical tutorials and intelligently designed sequences.
