Art of Sequencing: Creating Dynamic, Fluid Mandala Flows
Mandalas are circular, fluid, dynamic sequences that help break down old neurological patterns in both the mind and body. These sequences use repetition and directionality to re-pattern movement, develop new coordination, and build communication between the right and left sides of the brain by requiring practitioners to cross the midline.
This 25-hour advanced sequencing module explores the healing potential of circular movement. When we don’t regularly cross the midline, the left and right hemispheres of the brain tend to work in isolation. Mandala flows engage both hemispheres through midline crossing, stimulating the cerebral cortex and strengthening neural pathways that coordinate movement, balance, and learning.
We live in a linear society—but circular movement shifts our perspective. It helps us experience the body and space not from a straight path, but from a 360-degree awareness.
As you train your body and mind in these new movement patterns and learn to guide others through circular sequencing, you’ll discover a powerful, transformative breakthrough—one that is just as playful as it is profound.

The body holds stories, patterns, and pain. In this 75-hour advanced module, we enter into the art of healing through movement, sequencing, and presence. You’ll learn how to see the body as a map—one shaped by emotion, experience, and energy—and guide students toward wholeness through intelligent, therapeutic yoga.
This training centers on Body Smart Sequencing, a method of weaving postures into progressive mini-sequences that build both function and freedom. Using subtle adaptations, breath, and repetition, we retrain movement patterns to reduce pain, restore mobility, and prevent injury. It’s both intuitive and biomechanically precise.
You’ll develop a keen eye for imbalance, and learn to sequence for common areas of stress like the neck, shoulders, thoracic spine, hips, and lower back. Whether working one-on-one or leading dynamic group classes, you’ll be empowered to teach yoga that’s not just expressive—but truly healing.
