Q&A: Jason's Thoughts on "Creative" Sequencing & Finding Your Breath in Backbends

Jason is back this week to answer a few questions that came up about our Summer Series. The questions came from students in Jason's advanced yoga teacher training class, but they are applicable to any serious practitioners.

We address:

* His sequencing philosophy + the one biggest mistake he thinks yoga teachers make when they're planning their yoga class sequences.

* How to help students find a slow, steady breath during vinyasa classes -- including how to breathe for backbends like Urdhva Dhanurasana (Wheel Pose), Dhanurasana (Bow Pose), and dropping back into Urdhva Dhanurasana.

* Why consistency is such an important element for teaching and practicing yoga.

* Jason's thoughts on finding an appropriate pace for vinyasa yoga classes.
