Sequencing doesn’t start with themes or peak poses, it starts with understanding the pose itself. In this episode, I introduce pose literacy and explain why it’s the missing link behind clearer, safer, and more intelligent sequencing. Using Downward-Facing Dog as a real example, I break down how learning to read a pose beyond alignment can completely change how you teach, sequence, and support your students.

Episode Highlights:

• Why modern sequencing often skips the most essential step
• What pose literacy is, and why alignment alone isn’t enough
• How low pose literacy leads to guesswork, overload, and unsafe sequencing
• A pose-literacy breakdown of Downward-Facing Dog
• How a pose-first approach transforms sequencing and teaching confidence
