![]() ![]() Once you’ve created your list of poses, put them in order from most accessible (easiest on the body) to hardest (most difficult for the average practitioner). Note: you may have the same poses in multiple lists for example, pyramid pose helps train both “square hips” as well as “open hamstrings” so it’s a double whammy!

For each component part on your list, brainstorm a list of less complex poses that also teach to this component part or action.Įxample, can you think of other poses in which the hips must work to be square? Now that we have a list of our component parts, let’s examine how we would choose our poses. ![]() Final position: arms reaching forward (flexion/external rotation of upper arm at the shoulder).Our final list of component parts for warrior three may be: While you can dive down a component part rabbit hole, it’s better to restrict the number of component parts to about six or so in order to focus on what is most important to teach or address in order to achieve the final posture.

What parts of the body need to be warmed up our educated in order to do this pose safely and effectively? Step Two: Determine The Component PartsĬomponent parts are the parts of the body that must be educated or warmed up appropriately in order to do the peak pose.Ĭomponent parts: parts of the body that must be educated or warmed up appropriately in order to do the peak pose.įor example, let’s consider warrior 3.
