Floor Sequence & Kaya Kriya Handouts
Today I created a yoga lesson plan with the theme of Surrender To Slowness, and created a class handout to go with it. It’s 1 of 201 yoga class handouts available within the Yoga Teacher Lesson Plan Kit. Being creative each week with your yoga lesson planning is the toughest part of being a yoga teacher. So, I’d like to share the floor sequence handout and the kaya kriya handout with you.
