Stop sequencing towards a pose.
Start sequencing for capacity.
You already know how to build a yoga class. You know how to create a sequence, work towards a peak, layer in anatomy and make the whole thing flow.
But what if you started asking a different question?
Not: “What pose are we building towards?”
But: “What capacity am I asking my students to develop?”
This training is about learning to sequence for challenge, adaptation and recovery — using slow, intelligent movement to help students build the capacity to meet change without being overwhelmed by it.
A different way of thinking about sequencing
Resilience isn't about constantly pushing harder, or avoiding intensity altogether.
It's the ability to meet what arises, adapt, recover and return.
I will be co-teaching this training along side Susan Michel - certified advance Rolfer and the lead anatomy teacher across many YTTS - a true expert in her field and a teach I admire deeply.
✦ Sequence from principle, not formula — make decisions based on what you want to create in your students, rather than relying on templates or pose progressions.
✦ Understand the body from the inside out — explore how the nervous system, fascia, holistic anatomy and physical form inform your sequencing.
✦ Work with challenge and recovery — use intensity, repetition, contrast and rest to support adaptation rather than simply exhaust the student.
✦ Use gravity deliberately — develop strength, coordination and intentional movement without relying on speed or complexity.
✦ Bring somatic intelligence into structural practice — balance physical structure with sensation, responsiveness and lived experience.
✓ Design sequences around a specific capacity you want students to develop, rather than simply a pose.
✓ Know when to challenge, release, repeat or integrate to support adaptation.
✓ Understand why your sequencing works, giving you freedom to create without another formula to follow.
✓ Create practices that help students meet challenge, recover and return with greater capacity.
✓You'll learn how to use effort, resistance, rest and recovery deliberately — designing sequences around what you want your students to develop, rather than following familiar formulas.
You might be a beginner or even advanced in your sequencing, but you're ready to understand what your sequencing is actually doing.
You want to bring anatomy, nervous system regulation, and somatics together in a way that actually changes how you teach.
You're not looking for more tricks, fancy transitions or complicated shapes.
You're looking for a deeper understanding of how to create change through practice.
