How can you create your own vinyasa/ashtanga/power yoga flow?
Is there a pattern to follow? Anything else I need to know?
vinyasa/power sequences tend to work around a repeated vinyasa sequence (plank/upward dog/downward dog) all other postures and sequences are woven into that.
you should create sequences according to 'vinyasa krama' which basically means 'careful steps'. so a series of postures that build to a 'peak posture. for example you would do a series of preparatory backbends building up to say danurasana. then of course counter pose.
you can create a whole practice around themes, such as back bends, or you can put shorter sequences together to make a longer class.
you also have to bear in mind that different posture sequences have different energetic effects, and the entire practice should be balanced. i.e backbends/forward bends/hip openers/twists/inversions
however, you might for example do a more quietening practice in the evening, more energising in the morning, but overall it should still contain the other elements, with perhaps more focus on one thing.
ashtanga is a set sequence, so there is no room for varying that. although it is fair to say that all vinyasa/power yoga is derived from ashtanga and the plank/upward dog/downward dog sequence comes from ashtanga.
