Beautiful! I love the acoustic and Trevor Hall idea! The poses
you chose I agree with. It allows your students to feel the
mantra, child's pose is of innocence, standing at attention is
powerful, and fetal is about rebirth. Great job, Kelli! I
foresee you using this in the future.

Niki,
I'm a huge fan of Nora en Pure. I listen to Purified quite a
bit when I'm on the computer. I love deep house/beats and can't
go wrong with Beach Boys. Raising Vibration is a powerful theme,
and the rolling Om will definitely suit the theme. Love the down
dog shake!

Theme: Waves
Dichotomy of ebb and flow
Life is constantly in flux and ever-changing
Allow your thoughts to flow freely like waves, watching them to
approach and then retreat
Emphasis on fluidity in movement
Incorporate movements that emphasize the idea of push and pull
Mantra/Intention: I allow myself to ride the wave and trust
where it will take me.
I invite you to think about one thing in your life that you
would like to let go of, and also one thing that you want to
call into your life.
Pillar sections:
I would incorporate the theme of waves into the sequencing of
the entire class. I would have students flow through Sun A
forward and then backwards, like a wave goes out to shore, and
draws back to the ocean.
Breathwork - listen to the sound of waves within you as you
connect to your ujjayi breath
Integration (cat/cow)
Creative section
Music:
Sound of waves
Ambient, upbeat music
Uplifting acoustic
Poses:
Flowing warrior II to reverse warrior, warrior II and skandasana
Undulating dog (flow DD to plank)
Chair pose, chair twist, chair pose, chair twist flow
breath-to-movement
Dolphin pose
