10/10 Sequencing Course for Yoga Teachers

October 10 @ 4:30 pm - 6:30 pm
$750

Course Overview

Elevate Your Sequencing:
From Class Planning to Critical Thinking.

Most yoga teachers are taught how to lead a class. Very few are taught how to design a sequence that actually meets the needs of the people in front of them.

This course is a deep dive into the art and science of therapeutic sequencing, giving you the skills to move beyond generic class planning and into intentional, adaptive, and results-oriented teaching.

Rooted in the teachings of the Yoga Sutras and the lineage of T. Krishnamacharya, you will learn foundational yoga therapy assessment models and how to apply them to both group classes and individual clients. Through the lens of the Pancha Maya model, you will begin to recognize patterns of imbalance, identify contraindications, and select appropriate tools to support safe and effective practice.

You will explore broad therapeutic applications for conditions such as low back pain, cardiovascular concerns, respiratory and energetic imbalances, addiction, digestive issues, and relational stress, while learning how to adapt practices to meet students where they are.

Practice + Feedback

What makes this course truly transformative is the hands-on practice and feedback. You will actively design and teach sequences in a supportive environment, receiving direct guidance to refine your ability to create safe, effective, and personalized experiences for your students.

How we teach sequencing

A yoga class is a story.
Here's how we teach you to tell one.

Allison Prince MS, C-IAYT, E-RYT 500, of Be The Change Yoga builds a full class toward a peak pose — dancer — and narrates every decision as she goes. Why this shape and not that one. Where the hip flexors get opened. When to hold and when to keep moving. What to do when the room in front of you isn't the room you planned for.

A genuine sample of how we teach sequencing inside the 300hr Advanced Yoga Teacher Training — the AlcheMē Yoga Therapy approach, where creative flow meets therapeutic adaptation.

Sequencing toward dancer pose — a teaching sample from the 300hr Advanced Yoga Teacher Training at Be The Change Yoga, Old Town Irvine.

What you'll learn to do

Start with intention, then choose the peakEnergizing, calming, or balancing — the intention comes first, and the peak pose follows from it. Then you ask what physically has to be prepared to get there.
Move base pose to base poseSeated, to tabletop, to standing. You don't drop to the floor only to pop back up — that's what makes a class feel choppy.
Build a ladder flowEach round adds a rung. The same shape, explored a little deeper, until the peak arrives.
Offer three or four options in every shapeYou are always teaching multiple levels at once — because you always have multiple levels in the room.
Adapt to the room you actually haveYou'll have a plan. Then there's the reality in front of you. Learning to switch gears is the skill.
Opening~5 min check-in
Warm-up15–20 min
Flow~15 min
Peak~5 min
Cool downLonger holds
Śavāsana5 min minimum

By the time you arrive at the peak, it shouldn't surprise anyone. The body should think: of course — I've been preparing for this the whole time. That's what good sequencing feels like from the inside, and it's what your students are responding to when they tell you they've never gotten into that pose before.
