Visual Thinking Mind Maps // 2021 Patreon Yoga Offerings (Patreon)

Hello Patron Yogis :) Are you a "visual thinker" and if so, are you familiar with mind maps? 

Invented by the late Tony Buzan to help people structure their thoughts, reach their learning goals, and unleash their creativity, a mind map is a diagram used to visually organize information. It is hierarchical and shows relationships among pieces of the whole.

I am making Yoga Class Mind Maps for my videos to give you another vantage point of:

1. the organization of postures within a class

2. the progressions of postures from class to class

This is also available for download (see attachment.)

How to Read This Mind Map 

You might recognize this Mind Map from the 30min Relax and Recharge Yoga Video-- 18 Yoga Poses (including final rest and meditation) divided into 5 Sequences, each with 3 Postures. 

Each of the 5 petals (Enter, Unwind, Wave, Anchor, Stretch, Rest) has 3 postures oriented around it, beginning on the left with the arrow at Child and continuing clock-wise.

On the right, the petals Wave and Anchor are highlighted with their respective postures. This indicates a repetition flow in which you follow through the Wave and Anchor sequence on one side, and then begin the Wave sequence (with Down Dog) for the second side.

Any other one-sided posture, outside of the highlighted sequence-- Half Bow and Reclined Twist-- both sides are taken "at the same time."

If that is confusing to read, my apologies! But it is pretty straight forward when you start practicing and especially once you follow along with the video. The mind map is simply another tool to help you keep your practice at home fresh! With the mind map, you can follow-along without having to watch the video every time :)

Monthly Yoga Program Offerings

New content and offerings start Jan 1, but tier levels will adjust their rewards on Jan 12... so you have time to decide if you want to change your pledge. Current $5 and $8 will keep their memberships at Yoga Current for as long as they continue to pledge, and have access to all programs and page links thus far.

Ok, here's what's new for 2021!

Each month, I will have a program of 3-4 Yoga Videos, with one video delivered weekly. In 2021, I aim to make them available by SATURDAY/SUNDAY so you know you will have each video to practice all week. These videos will be accompanied by my Yoga Class Mind Maps!

$5 Patrons will have 24-48hr first access to my YouTube publications + 1 Mind Map and Patreon Yoga Class at the beginning of each month.

$8 Patrons have 24-48hr first access to my YouTube publications + my monthly Patreon Yoga Program with 3-4 yoga classes and accompanying mind maps.

$20 Patrons have everything from the previous tiers, including the monthly Patreon Yoga Program with Mind Maps plus membership at Yoga Current with links to the new videos.

$50 Patrons have everything from the previous tiers, plus Yoga Scenes-- a new offering of a variety of content ranging from behind-the-scenes videos/photos to downloadable photo collages.

$100 Patrons have everything from the previous tiers, plus can request yoga video themes for me to create as future content. I can't guarantee that I'll make every request right away, but I will try to work them into the mix. Custom video requests must be appropriate for YouTube :)

$1000 Patrons-- If you're pledging at this level, you are a patron of the art of yoga videography. This one is all for you and available for download or dvd at your request.

As always, let me know if you have any questions. I look forward to sharing Yoga with you in 2021!

Namaste ~
