Sequencing with Purpose | Yoga Teacher Training
Create meaningful classes. Teach with intention. Plan less.
Great sequencing isn't about constantly creating something new.
It's about understanding why you are choosing what you teach, how each element of a practice works together, and how to adapt what you already know to create classes that feel fresh, purposeful and relevant to the students in front of you.
Sequencing with Purpose is a 25-hour professional development training for yoga teachers who want to move beyond simply linking postures together and develop a more thoughtful, confident approach to class planning.
Upcoming Training Dates: 31 October + 1 November 2026

Work smarter with the sequences you already have
Repetition isn't a lack of creativity — it's part of how we learn.
When students encounter familiar postures and sequences over time, they have the opportunity to move beyond simply doing a shape and begin to learn it — developing greater body awareness, confidence and understanding through their own lived experience.
As teachers, this gives us permission to stop constantly chasing novelty. Instead, we can revisit, refine and repurpose familiar sequences, changing the intention, emphasis, language, pace or energetic lens while allowing students the benefit of repetition.
You'll learn how to use repetition purposefully — creating familiarity without making your classes feel repetitive.
This approach allows you to:
Spend less time planning classes
Build a library of adaptable sequences you can return to
Teach familiar movement in fresh and meaningful ways
Become more responsive to the students in front of you
Use repetition intentionally to build confidence and familiarity
Develop greater confidence in your own teaching
Create classes that have a clearer and more lasting impact
Rather than asking, "What am I going to teach this week?" you'll begin to think, "What does this practice need to communicate?"
Physical + Anatomical Sequencing
We'll explore the mechanics behind intuitive sequencing, including:
Balancing symmetry + asymmetry
Contraction + release
Internal + external rotation
Variations on warm-up sequences
Neutral, parallel and counterposes within dynamic sequences
Efficient sequencing of muscle activation
Thoughtful transitions
Use repetition to help students learn — rather than simply do — yoga postures
Sequencing anatomically beyond the traditional idea of a "peak pose"
Adapting sequences for different bodies, abilities and intentions
The aim isn't to give you a formula to follow, but to empower you with the understanding to sequence confidently, creatively and with purpose.
From Sequence to Experience
Throughout the training we'll bring these different elements together and consider the whole experience of a class — from the moment students arrive through to the final moments of rest.
You'll have opportunities to experiment, create, adapt and teach rather than simply listening to theory.
Together we'll explore how small changes in intention, language, pacing or practice can completely transform the experience of the same sequence.
You'll leave with practical tools you can use immediately in your own teaching — along with a more sustainable approach to class planning that allows you to spend less time reinventing and more time refining.
You'll learn how to create sequences with:
Clarity of purpose
Creativity + confidence
An understanding of the mechanics of the body
Awareness of how practices affect students physically and energetically
Themes that add depth without feeling forced
Enough flexibility to adapt to different students, seasons and teaching environments

I recently attended Sara's Sequencing weekend training for yoga teachers. I had heard about her trainings and so travelled up from Bunbury to attend and i wasn't disappointed! Her warmth and passion along with her insightful knowledge about yoga really came through. I'd love to train some more with Sara as i really connected to her style and loved her classes.

I have been a student of Sara's for a few years and recently completed my 12 month mentorship with Sara, upleveling from 200 hour ytt to 350 hour ytt. Embarking on this training was the best decision that I ever made with regard to my yoga studies. Sara is so authentic and generous with her time, expert in the field and gently guides you whilst you find your voice. I have learned so much throughout this journey , especially about sequencing! Sara is so intuitive with her sequencing and so creative , it's been an honour learning from her during this time and beyond. I feel like Sara's tuition filled in all those gaps of uncertainty that I was feeling as a 200 hr teacher and even though I'm still learning every day , I feel so confident now with regard to my teaching. Thank you , Sara, for offering this amazing program, I'm so proud to be your mentee and I could not have asked for a better mentor .
