Very few are taught how to design a sequence that actually meets the needs of the people in front of them.\n\n 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.\n\n 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.\n\n 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.\n\n \n\n This Course Emphasizes\n\n \n →\n Intelligent\, adaptable sequencing using vinyasa krama\n \n\n \n →\n Goal-oriented practice design based on real-time assessment\n \n\n \n →\n Skillful application of asana\, pranayama\, and meditation\n \n\n \n →\n Understanding the "why" behind every sequence you teach\n \n\n \n Practice + Feedback\n 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.\n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n How we teach sequencingA 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.Allison Prince MS\, C-IAYT\, E-RYT 500Sequencing 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 doStart 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-inWarm-up15–20 minFlow~15 minPeak~5 minCool downLonger holdsŚavāsana5 min minimumBy 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.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n Advanced Studies\n\n The Sequencing Series.\n\n Five weekend intensives\, taught across seven months.

When she is not teaching yoga or working with private clients\, you will most likely find her with a romance or fantasy book in hand (or in her ears\, because audiobooks absolutely count).\n She first found yoga in 2012. When her own health journey began a year later\, her practice moved from power vinyasa to gentler Yin and Restorative yoga\, and her mat became a place of refuge. Rediscovering reading during the pandemic\, she found that books\, like yoga\, offer a soft place to land\, and that stories can open us to more joy\, connection\, and self-discovery.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Melissa Gallarzo\n Integrative Nutrition Coach\n Melissa specializes in herbal medicine\, gut health\, and women's hormonal wellness through the lens of Ayurveda\, and has been guiding group yoga classes since 2018.\n During the pandemic she rekindled her love of fiction and built a growing community of readers through book clubs and her YouTube channel\, Bookish & Beverages\, where she pairs fantasy book summaries with thoughtfully curated tea blends. Her work rests on a simple belief: healing can be grounding and joyful at the same time.
