ENROL NOW - LAUNCH SALE IS LIVEWho's it for?
This 100% online and on-demand training is self-paced and is perfect for you if...
YOU'RE A YOGA TEACHER OR CURRENTLY TRAINING...
and you want a clearer ethical and philosophical foundation for how you teach, not just what you teach. You want philosophy to feel understandable, applicable and useful in modern classes rather than abstract or intimidating.
YOU CARE ABOUT ACCESSIBILITY BUT FEEL UNSURE HOW TO TRANSLATE IT ...
into confident teaching choices beyond offering props or options. You want to teach in a way that respects diverse bodies, backgrounds and life experiences without diluting the depth or integrity of the practice.
YOU WANT TO TEACH WITH MORE AWARENESS AND RESPONSIBILITY...
You are curious about power, consent, language and responsibility in yoga spaces, and you value thoughtful, integrity led education that supports reflection, growth and long term sustainability as a teacher.
What you'll learn:
- The kleshas and how they show up on and off the mat, applied to modern life and teaching
- The chakra and kosha systems, their roots, modern interpretation and sequencing applications
- How to bring accessibility into practice as an ethical approach rooted in power, consent and choice
- Principles of adaptation across age, ability and body diversity, including chair and bed based yoga
- How to make breath and meditation accessible, with attention to choice and regulation
- Trauma aware teaching approaches, focused on stillness, choice, relationship and responsibility
- How to sequence for access and choice, designing with possibility in mind for mixed ability spaces
"This module helps with something every teacher faces. The struggle to make every class inclusive is something all teachers face, and this module helps with exactly that. If you want to teach with more integrity and heart, this is the training for you."
KHALA
"It has genuinely deepened how I understand and teach yoga. It's clear, compassionate and rigorous work that supports teachers to teach with more confidence, integrity and care. Every body that I teach will benefit from this course."
KATE
"The workbooks and modules have been, and continue to be, my most valuable resources for learning yoga for the modern world, while still deeply respecting yogic traditions. I visit my portal every day, knowing that there is always some detail waiting to be understood more clearly, with the guidance of Hannah and Celest."

“Alba Yoga Academy’s Creative Sequencing module is a game-changer. ”
I was lucky enough to attend the Creative Sequencing module live in London, with the added benefit of revisiting the materials online whenever I needed a refresh as well as having access to additional topics like a deep dive on Elements and other tools within the online module! Sequencing is a universal struggle for many teachers, but Alba gives you the framework to stop overthinking and start creating with the added bonus of incorporating valuable neuro tools too! This module helped me find my authentic voice and more importantly taught me how to find genuine joy in the creative process. Beyond the curriculum, the community Alba brings together is truly unmatched.
KHALA
“I’ve been teaching yoga for over 25 years and over the past few years my teaching had started to feel a bit…meh... Not bad. Just very repetitive. So I signed up for the sequencing course and that's EXACTLY what I needed!
I absolutely loved the neuroscience focus. The course content is properly science based, but it never felt heavy. Everything was explained in a way that made it easy to use straight away in real classes.
After the training I feel more confident and inspired again. I don’t second guess myself as much. And my students love the new stuff!
And if you’re wondering: this isn’t a fluffy sequencing course. It’s practical, grounded and really really useful. And Hannah and Celest are brilliant teachers, and I had so much fun!”
JENNIE
“This module completely shifted the way I think about building a class. The creative sequencing approach is unlike anything I’ve experienced before; it’s thoughtful, intelligent and incredibly well structured. ”
It helped me clearly see the many different entry points I can use when creating a class, rather than defaulting to the same familiar patterns. The 10-step framework is exceptionally detailed and practical. It didn’t feel rigid or prescriptive, but instead gave me a clear structure that actually supports creativity. I walked away with a huge range of concepts to explore and apply, and it’s something I’m still actively experimenting with in my teaching today. The depth of this module alone added lasting value to how I sequence and think about movement.
LUCIE
“Hannah is brilliant, I trust her knowledge to no-end”
As a functional yoga and movement coach who has trained heavily in biomechanics and anatomy, I am very particular with which teachers I choose. Hannah is brilliant, I trust her knowledge no-end. She creates brilliant, fun, creative and thoughtful flows and has a wonderfully kind and gentle way of delivering powerful messages behind the class theme. I always enjoy Hannah's classes and always come away feeling fantastic
TAISIE GRANT
“I am so happy and grateful that I did the Creative Sequencing Workshop with Celest and Hannah!"
It is impressive how they have structured the whole program so that at the end you feel really confident and inspired to develop yoga classes that your students will remember.
MARTINA
“I adored Celest’s nuero training and signed up to this creative sequencing one. It was brilliant deep dive into how to re-evaluate how you lead classes and how to make them delicious, interesting and effective.
The energy between Hannah and Celest was brilliant and they both bought their different areas of expertise to the training helping the learning sink deeper. Every detail was beautifully curated. I highly recommend the investment
