Wow I found this video at the perfect time. I just finished writing my first adult flow script for a YTT project and had included Warrior 1 after Warrior 2 and side angle pose. Now I know that wouldn’t be the best pose to place there. So glad I saw this video before turning in my script.🙏🏻
Hi Amber! Just a heads up, not all trainings will adhere to this (rather common sense, I think) idea. In Ashtanga, it's tradition to do one transition from Vira 1 to Vira 2, but ashtanga is also a set sequence that is practiced identically every time and it defies logical sequencing rules (I say this with love, having practiced it for many years LOL). Also...you can teach any transition, but the idea is that if you link non-similar poses, you have to teach a lot MORE to get students into the juice of the pose :) Let me know how it goes!
Rachel, I am a relatively new teacher. In chaturunga, I thought it was a safer practice to protract the shoulders like in cat as you lower rather than allow them to sink lower past the shoulder heads?
Hi Grant! You are right! We don't want the shoulder heads to drop forward and down as we descend into chaturanga. I have usually thought that balanced action between retraction and protraction is the way to go - for most people, this means they need to focus a bit more on serratus (cat action) to resist gravity. But either way, I would not lower past the point where the heads of the humerus drop lower than the elbows. Does that make sense with what you're thinking?
@@grantkiba7463 That's wonderful! If there's anything you'd like a video on in particular, please let me know. I'm planning to amp up the resource library this year :) Thanks for watching, Grant :)
