About this episode
Sequencing in yoga is a vital skill that transforms a collection of poses into a meaningful and impactful practice, and that’s why I want to explore this topic today. As yoga teachers, our ability to craft thoughtful sequences directly influences how students experience and grow in their practice, whether they’re beginners seeking balance or advanced practitioners reaching for deeper challenges. By understanding the principles of sequencing—whether it’s preparing for a peak pose, building a theme-based class, or creating a well-rounded flow for general well-being—we can deliver classes that are not only structured but also deeply rewarding. This discussion sets the stage for my upcoming free masterclass, where I’ll dive even deeper into this essential teaching skill. Episode Highlights: What is sequencing? Importance of tailoring sequencing to students’ levels and needs. Sequencing is central to modern yoga teaching but is only one part of a well-rounded class. Three Key Types of Sequencing Peak Pose Sequencing Challenges: Requires adaptation to students' levels to avoid overwhelming them. Themed Sequencing Caution: Avoid overly complicated or abstract themes to ensure substance and engagement.
