In order to uphold the highest standards, intention, and consistency, all classes designated as ParaYoga® adhere to the following guidelines and principles:
• The ParaYoga® Class Blueprint––this framework for sequencing is one of the most critical elements that defines a ParaYoga® class.
• Each class led by Level I Certified Teachers adheres to the general format of one of the six ParaYoga® Asana sequences, modified as necessary to teach beginners. Level II Certified Teachers are given more creative freedom in the sequences they teach provided their classes have a clear theme and intention while applying the principle of sequencing for an apex pose (themes are derived from at least one of the Six Gems© of ParaYoga®).
• Each class must include the principles of Tapas, Vinyasa Krama, and Smarana.
• Each class must include appropriate time for Savasana.
• Each class must include meditation and Pranayama.
• Each class honors the tradition and source of the teachings.
