The Art of Creative SequencingÂ
Learn how to create yoga classes people remember long after they leave the room.
ENROL TODAYWho'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 MOVEMENT INSTRUCTOR...
who wants to design sequences that go beyond linking poses together; using neuroscience and intelligent progressions to create classes that transform body and mind. Â
YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT A VARIETY OF BODIES ANDÂ INJURIES...
and you're ready to explore the art and science of sequencing, blending biomechanics and yogic philosophy to craft purposeful, memorable flows.
YOU'RE A TEACHER WHO CARES ABOUT IMPACT...
eager to integrate neuroscience into your sequencing so every class supports the nervous system, engages the brain and resonates deeply with your students.
What you'll learn:
- A clear step-by-step process to build a yoga class from scratch, without copying sequences or guessing what comes next
- How to structure classes using different sequencing architectures including linear, wave, peak, slow build, ladder and mandala
- â How to theme a class meaningfully, weaving philosophy, lived experience and practice without it feeling forced
- â How to use attention, imagery and sensory cues to deepen student experience
- How to make your classes feel memorable and satisfying, building intelligently to a peak
- How to avoid common sequencing mistakes that lead to confusion, fatigue or disengagement
- How to trust your own creative teaching voice while still keeping structure
- How to respond to the students actually in front of you rather than teaching a pre-written script
- How to re-ignite inspiration if your teaching has started to feel repetitive
- How to integrate neuroscience concepts into real classes in a practical, usable way
"Iâve been teaching yoga for over 25 years and over the past few years my teaching had started to feel a bitâŚmeh...  Not bad. Just very repetitive. So I signed up for the sequencing course and that's EXACTLY what I needed!"

JENNIE
"The creative sequencing course was the perfect way to rekindle some much needed inspiration. Over time, it is not unusual for sequences to become somewhat sameyâŚ!
We dived into what makes a yoga session really stand out: when sequences make sense in our bodies, a theme woven through to support the intention of the practice, itself reinforced through the tone of voice, the choice of words, the music played, perhaps mantras and mudras too.
To those more traditional methods are integrated lots of wonderful neuroscience drills using the breath, eyes, sound to name a few, with pretty noticeable - and I can say impressive - results. "

"Iâd been feeling a little stagnant from teaching so much and not giving myself enough space for my own practice. I knew I needed something to reignite that sparkâthough I wasnât entirely sure what to expect.
But wow⌠the training didnât just meet my expectations, it completely surpassed them in every possible way."

âAlba Yoga Academyâs Creative Sequencing module is a game-changer. â
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.

âIâve been teaching yoga for over 25 years and over the past few years my teaching had started to feel a bitâŚmeh... 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 donât second guess myself as much. And my students love the new stuff!
And if youâre wondering: this isnât a fluffy sequencing course. Itâs practical, grounded and really really useful. And Hannah and Celest are brilliant teachers, and I had so much fun!â
JENNIE
âThis module completely shifted the way I think about building a class. The creative sequencing approach is unlike anything Iâve experienced before; itâs thoughtful, intelligent and incredibly well structured. â
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. Â The 10-step framework is exceptionally detailed and practical. It didnât 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 itâs something Iâm 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.

“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
âI 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
âI adored Celestâs 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 investmentÂ
