If, on the other hand, the sequence doesn't quite feel right, change things around until it does feel right. For me personally, I prefer to do any seated asanas after standing ones, although on some occasions, I might not even get up off the floor! Looking at your sequence, what I might do is move eagle pose up to do after utthita trikonasana, place bhujangasana before dhanurasana, moving into child before ardha kapotasana finishing with paschimottanasana then savasana, which is one way of my favourite ways to finish. Follow your intuition and play around with the sequence to see the different effects the asanas have. Today you might feel like following the whole sequence, tomorrow you might feel guided to do something completely different. Most importantly, breathe smoothly and enjoy!

But it always feels so good at the end, so I decided to let it where it is. And Paschimottanasa feels right for me for starting the seating asanas. "moving into child before ardha kapotasana" What do you mean with child? Because I think it's nice shifting from Bhujangasana into Ardha-Kapotasana. Though I will try this variation today first Bhujangasana and then Dhanurasana I will surly try different things! Thank you so much for your suggestions! They helped me a lot!

The reason I place bhujangasana before dhanurasana is I find it warms up the spine in preparation for dhanurasana.....sometimes I even place shabhalasana (locust) between the two....it all depends on how and what feels right at the time. Here is a link to child pose: http://www.yogaofthefuture.com/media/childs.jpg As long as it all feels good to do, go with the flow as they say Hugs, Suzi "If you see someone without a smile, give him one of yours."

Garudasana is now the third asana. Paschimottanansana comes later. There are also some new asanas in it. Thanks for you help! Lots of Fairy and Goddess Blessings to you!

By practicing intuitively we open ourselves up in mind, body and spirit. When you have the time, read through the wonderful sequences posted here in this thread. Also, are you familiar with Erich's book? You can read his teachings here: http://www.movingintostillness.com/teachings.html The book is well worth acquiring and you can find it at amazon.co.uk along with the yoga dvd: http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_ss_w_h_/202-0289215-0104626?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=erich+schiffmann Suzi "If you see someone without a smile, give him one of yours."

I meant if you could look it through and tell me what to do better or tell me of it is good or not so good or pretty good for a beginner Lots of Fairy and Goddess Blessings to you!

Next time you practice a totally different sequence may emerge. I think the fact that you are exploring rocks!!!! When I did my TT it was Sivananda. To this day I enjoy the series in full or modified versions. Do you know the series? I found Sivananda a wonderful guide! Ma

But For more info I'd google a bit more or look into the Sivananda companion guide book if you are interested. Ma

Indeed Integral Yoga, Sivananda, Bikram, and others have fixed sequences where there are no deviations. Many times we come up with sequences that seem optimum one day but over time change radically Indeed each day and moment require a unique response else we become slaves to a mechanical and rigid routine. If however a routine consistently provides joy, energy, and greater openness, then that is indeed a blessing. There are many theories as to sequencing asana of course. I haven't found one that is etched in stone, but I like your sequence Mondfalke .. those are very nice asanas. My favorite is to put in uttanasana (standing forward bend) before any other forward bends and before triangle also.... also malasana (squat). Also from uttanasana one can easily step back into downward facing dog ( adho mukha svanasana). These four (uttanasana, malasana, tadasana, and adho mukha svanasana) can be put in a sequence all by themselves combined with tadasana. This is an excellent warm-up for the entire body but especially for forward bends. Mostly I love to do a pose, and then follow it with a counterpose. For example, if I do forward bend, then a backward bend....if an internal rotation, then I follow with an external rotation. This warms up my system and helps create flow and openness. The combinations and variations are almost endless. JAI MA! Donny "How can you think and hit at the same time?" Yogi Berra

Like anything there are series within the series ie... Forward bend series, back bend series, balancing etc... It all depends on your personal skill level. But you can modify most poses for you! The basic series can be shortend depending on how much time you have to practice.
