Sadhguru - do not change the sequence of asanas

Nov 6 eve

Yesterday, I found out that I shouldn't do the plough back after Shambavi. According to teacher, we cannot change the sequence of hata yoga.

Actually I read this before but I ignored it cos I tot it relates to yogaasanas and I didn't change. I forgot that me doing plough back after Shambavi morning and Shoonya every evening is actually changing the sequence or rather, I omitted all sequence.Sadhguru said no one is to change as the sequence was not decided by him, it is decided by the body.

And now I got to watch the video as I couldn't receive Sadhguru's advice.
Actually I noticed I am more stable this week without the plough back. Perhaps thats the reason why I suddenly hurt my spine last week.

I have never hurt my spine before in the 5 years of doing Hata Yoga.
By hurting my spine, I had to stop plough back and by telling the teacher, I found out that I had actually changed the sequence of asanas.
While it was true that I only learned to do plough back after Shambavi, I need not prolong it by continuing to do so. The first three times was enough for me to enable me to do plough back during yogaasanas.

Sadhguru even said that if we don't follow the sequence of asanas, we be disjointed. Below the excerpt of his talk.

In Hata Yoga, this organ comfort is always considered. Energy comfort is also considered. Your energy functions in such a way that if you activate one aspect of your energy without activating another aspect of it, your system will become disjointed. There are many disjointed bodies everywhere. Disjointed energy means living a broken life. Somehow, you may manage to live long, but no matter what enters your life, you will not be complete. You may win the lottery, you may get married to the best man or woman in the world, you may pray 24 hours of the day – no matter what you do, you will live a disjointed life.
