Yoga Sequencing Courses
Yoga Sequencing is something I feel really passionate about. I love sequencing, it’s so creative and intelligent and fun. In the course I share lots of concepts and ideas to make your sequencing rich and engaging and YOU.
I run courses at The Shala in London and at The Breathing Space in Derby
This 3-day course is both theoretical and creative, giving you the tools and the inspiration with which to confidently create your own sequencing.
The London course can be attended as a stand-alone course or as an optional module on our 300-hour programme at The Shala.
The Derby course can also be stand alone or part of The Breathing Space 300 hour programe.
Course Overview
I will take you through what it takes to create intelligent yoga sequences, which work energetically and anatomically. I place a strong emphasis on exploration and creativity, alongside practical building blocks to create a solid foundation from which to work. The course will cover a wide range of topics from alternative versions a pose and transitions to peak poses, inclusivity, and playlists. From the training you will gain:
a framework to guide your sequencing
guidance on how to adapt week-to-week
how to include mobility and stability in your sequence
exploration of embodied movement
somatic inspiration
an opportunity to create your own sequence and receive individual feedback on it
follow up feedback on scripts or recordings
access to an online group for peer support and free resources
Learning how to sequence will greatly expand your horizons as a teacher, equipping you with the tools to keep your classes alive and inspiring.

Sequencing Course Reviews
The sequencing course is an amazing course, really worthwhile! It has provided me with a framework for classes as well as inspiring great ideas for future sequences. I came away with one complete sequence and many ideas for others! Mel and Jennie are fab teachers, I love their approach to yoga and the way they deliver the classes, it is truly inspiring. They provide a nurturing and supportive learning environment.
