Note: The postures listed in the following charts are meant to be used only as a guideline and are by no means exhaustive. They are put in a logical sequence, but more postures are given than one would ordinarily do in a single class and often beginning and more difficult postures are mixed in together. Notes on bioenergetic emphasis, breathing, partner exercises, or meditation are added where appropriate. From this guideline, you can shape your own classes according to time, skill level, and intention. The important thing to remember in all these postures is that attention to the chakra in question is vital and makes the difference. Where attention goes, energy flows.
