Effective Sequencing

"The Complete Yoga Book" by James Hewitt is one of my favorites.  If you are dealing with particular ailments where you want to construct a class that is suitable for the practitioner there are various suggestions on postures that are good and serve as therapy for specified issues.
Depending on the time that is available you will be able to add or subtract postures and pranayama breathing or decipher the amount of time you will spend in each asana.
A Yoga class should incorporate relaxation, warm-ups, full-body stretching (like the sun salutations) forward bends, backward bends, spinal twists, seated stretching, kneeling postures, core compression and extension, inverted postures, breathing exercises using abdominal controls.  Relaxation.


Always remember, no forcing the joints or limbs.
