Yoga Sequencing Teacher Training | IN STUDIO or LIVESTREAM

Charli Van Ness | 24-26 April 2027 | 30 hours | Price: £450

Yoga sequencing is an art form in itself. Many a student will leave a class or workshop embodying the intention of the teaching if sequencing has been created intelligently.  Creative sequencing can create both flow and precision allowing teachings to be assimilated and integrated with clarity. Intelligent sequencing also provides teachers with a challenging yet fun space to play, evolve their teachings as well as confidently match classes delivered with the original intention. Often teachers don’t get feedback on how the practitioner feels and the impact that has been made. 

Each practitioner will be unique which is why sequencing can feel so challenging for teachers, however this course covers a huge range of topics to help you hone these skills – from scripts to somatic inspiration and modifications to mobility. This 3-day yoga sequencing teacher training is both theoretical and creative, giving you the tools, motivation and inspiration with which to confidently create your own sequencing to align your goal with practitioner impact as much as possible. . It can be attended as a stand-alone course or as an optional module on our 300-hour programme.

Melanie’s teaching style is clear, supportive, and full of wisdom, and she creates a space that feels both inspiring and collaborative. The course gave me a solid foundation in creating safe and meaningful yoga sequences, while also encouraging creativity and authenticity. I came away feeling more confident, inspired, and excited to go away and plan classes.

The yoga sequencing course was transformational for me. Melanie has shown me different ways of organising and planning my classes to keep them fresh and interesting as well as targeted for the people I am teaching. She generously shared sequences and flows and is a fountain of knowledge.

the course provided me with a toolbox of ideas, mini sequences and the ability to create my own sequence to support my students regardless of their abilities on the mat. Melanie is an excellent teacher, her passion, expertise and knowledge of yoga were a great resource to tap into.
