Yoga for Beginners Asana (position) sequences are available in a variety of patterns and sizes. Every modern yoga school, including Iyengar, Viniyoga, Bikram, Ashtanga, and Vinyasa, has its own beliefs about how to sequence an asana practice. Most sequences are linear, meaning that one posture follows another in a systematic step-by-step fashion, progressing from easier to more difficult and then returning to easier.
In general, a sequence like this starts with simple warm-ups to establish a theme for the practice, then progresses to more challenging postures, calms down to cooling poses, and finally ends with rest (Corpse Pose). However, this is mostly one method of arranging things. Each posture in the sequence is often performed only once, but you might repeat it two or three times more, each time focusing on a particular facet of the position. Take Trikonasana (Triangle Pose) for example you might start by focusing on your feet or legs, then move on to the spine or arms.
