Practice Friday 4:30 at Clear Spring

Hi Everyone, Here's a sequence we'll be working from this Friday the next couple Fridays. Anne and Devon will both teach a few poses. Devon's assessment is in August. Anne will go up for Junior I next year. The numerals refer to which level syllabus the pose is on. We'll also explore some of the work Geeta taught at the convention

This is a sequence based on the Jr. I-II–III sequence Devon created for us a while back. I made a few changes to accommodate the convention review work.
