Sequencing in yoga is a vital skill that transforms a collection of poses into a meaningful and impactful practice, and that’s why I want to explore this topic today. As yoga teachers, our ability to craft thoughtful sequences directly influences how students experience and grow in their practice, whether they’re beginners seeking balance or advanced practitioners reaching for deeper challenges. By understanding the principles of sequencing—whether it’s preparing for a peak pose, building a theme-based class, or creating a well-rounded flow for general well-being—we can deliver classes that are not only structured but also deeply rewarding. This discussion sets the stage for my upcoming free masterclass, where I’ll dive even deeper into this essential teaching skill.
What is sequencing?Importance of tailoring sequencing to students’ levels and needs. Sequencing is central to modern yoga teaching but is only one part of a well-rounded class.Three Key Types of SequencingPeak Pose SequencingChallenges: Requires adaptation to students' levels to avoid overwhelming them.Themed Sequencing Caution: Avoid overly complicated or abstract themes to ensure substance and engagement.

The morning after the US Presidential election last week, Jason woke up and had to teach his 300-hour teacher training students. As soon as he finished the call, he told me how difficult it was to stay focused on teach.
Out of that experience came this podcast, where Jason shares two things: His own personal history with politics (and how it has always been separate from his yoga practice) as well as advice for teaching yoga during turbulent times.

In this episode, I had the honor of speaking again with the legendary Judith Hanson Lasater, who shared reflections on her 53 years of teaching yoga. We explored how her teaching has transformed over the decades, from an athletic focus to a holistic, life-centered approach. Judith shared her belief that true yoga extends beyond the mat and is woven into daily life, where being present and compassionate are at the heart of the practice. We talked about challenges like burnout and the importance of self-renewal, especially for yoga teachers today. Judith’s wisdom and insights on being “the bucket, not the water” remind us that teaching yoga is not about pushing students, but guiding them to connect with their own inner wisdom. Her philosophy and stories are sure to inspire both new and experienced yoga practitioners.
Judith’s evolution in teaching yoga over the past five decades.Experiences with feelings of overwhelm and burnout in Judith’s teaching career.How modern, digital life impacts yoga teachers’ fatigue and well-being.Key qualities that yoga teachers should cultivate.Judith’s approach to handling emotions, such as anger or irritation.The story behind how Judith began teaching yoga and her first class.Judith’s philosophy of being “the bucket, not the water” as a teacher.Core practices Judith believes are essential for students and teachers to incorporate.
