For Yoga Teachers of ALL disciplines!
Learn how to create safe and effective sequences for mixed-level group classes! 

Embark on this transformative journey and become a skilled and compassionate yoga teacher who creates sequences that resonate with students of all levels of practice. 


This comprehensive course offers you the opportunity to master the art of crafting safe and effective sequences tailored for mixed-level group classes. Whether you’re an experienced yoga teacher or embarking on your teaching journey, this training is designed to empower you with the knowledge and skills needed to guide your students toward holistic well-being through thoughtfully structured practices.
 

In this training, you’ll apply an alignment-based approach to intelligent and creative classes that is grounded in applied anatomy and sound biomechanical principles. By applying this methodology, you will learn to guide your students through poses with a keen focus on correct alignment, facilitating enhanced benefits and a reduced risk of injury. These principles will empower you to offer guidance that not only enriches the physical practice but also nurtures a deeper connection between the mind, body, and breath.

You’ll learn:
 
  • Principles of progressive sequencing
  • Applied anatomy of yoga poses
  • Biomechanics and the difference between alignment and action
  • How to effectively prepare students to safely move toward more challenging poses.
  • Strategies for form and flow-based classes
  • How to sequence a series of classes and plan a course curriculum
  • Pose options and prop variations to address the needs of all your students.
  • How to effectively teach mixed level sequences that benefit everyone in class
You’ll receive a manual that includes sequencing templates for full-spectrum classes as well as postural categories including backbends, hip openers/twists/seated poses, arm balances/inversions, and restorative yoga. You’ll also practice energetic, elemental, and theme-based approaches to sequencing. 
 
You can expect an interactive combination of lecture, individual exercises, small group work, and practice building and teaching pose sequences.
