Yoga Alliance Accredited Program
Welcome to the Art of Sequencing Training with Clara Roberts-Oss
Sequencing is a skill that may be refined with practice. It is a formula you can learn and add your own embellishments to as you evolve as a teacher. Vinyasa is a preferred style for many reasons, chiefly because teachers have more creative agency in designing sequences that build to a peak pose, weave yoga philosophy, and use subtle body practices.
As teachers, we are doing more than offering physical poses. Each class can be an opportunity for students to tune in and listen to their emotional, mental, and spiritual bodies. How we design a sequence and facilitate the experience has the power to transform the way our students think, feel, and act.
The Art of Vinyasa Yoga Sequencing is an online training for students and teachers who want to learn the holistic science of curating immersive experiences that allow students to delve deeper into themselves.

TESTIMONIALs
“The Art of Vinyasa Sequencing was well-rounded and interspersed with little gems about philosophy, anatomy, storytelling and mantra(!), which was a wonderful surprise.
I recommend this training to anyone who wants to deepen their knowledge of this type of vinyasa sequencing, which I find more enticing, accessible, and mentally stimulating than classic vinyasa.
Thank you for offering this and sharing your many gifts with the world. You remain my main source of inspiration.”

Can I do this certification program with a full-time job?
Yes. This program was designed for those with full-time jobs and commitments.
Can you provide me with proof of tuition payment for my own business or tax purposes?
Yes. If you are already a yoga teacher or in a profession where yoga certification could enhance your business (aka a massage practitioner, nutritionist, or something similar), your tuition could be tax-deductible.
Is there help in finding your voice and own personal style?
Yes! This course is tailored to help teachers discover their unique voices to create classes that resonate with students. All students in training will be encouraged to choose elements and themes they find inspiring to create class sequences. The purpose is to find what lights you up and bring it into your class to offer to your students.
Is the Art of Sequencing Training recognized by Yoga Alliance, even if it’s online?
YES! On September 25, 2020, Yoga Alliance confirmed it is now approving all online registrations until the end of 2021. This means that if if you register for the July 2021 Art of Sequencing Training, you will receive Yoga Alliance Approved Certification for the 20 CE credits.
Yoga Alliance understands that with the changing landscape due to COVID< in-person events are no longer possible. Institutions and schools worldwide are petitioning Yoga Alliance to change their mandates to approve online programming to make courses accessible to students worldwide.

Students who do not teach will have the opportunity to learn about yoga asana and the subtle body and spend four days developing their practice with peak postures and vinyasa flows.
Is this training open to beginners?
New teachers are welcome, but this program is not recommended for beginner students.
If I am pregnant, can I take this program?
Yes. I’ve taught many classes, workshops, retreats, and training with pregnant yogis present. The biggest thing is to listen to your body, rest when necessary, and modify the poses as you need. I have a video, Modifications for Pregnancy, on Practice with Clara as a resource.

You will receive a certification in vinyasa yoga from my school, Lila School of Vinyasa Yoga.

Testimonials
“Since I am not a teacher, I love that you still allow me to participate in the training so I can have a deeper understanding of why I value the classes the way I do.
Clara has a way of creating magic when she develops a class. If you are interested in knowing what needs to be considered to sequence a safe and meaningful class that is accessible for students at any level, this training is it.”

What Students Are Saying.
-
“I really loved the concept and breakdown of wave theory for sequencing. It was concise and very clear, plus the interaction with fellow students and break-out rooms helped create a sense of support and kula. It was great to connect to others from around the globe that are also looking to evolve in their practice. I feel like sequencing makes much more sense now, not only as a teacher but as a student for my own home practice. Clara has given us the tools to be able to implement an effective synergy of asana, mantra, pranayama and mudras to create a well-rounded, all-encompassing class that supports a peak pose or theme throughout the practice.”

“I feel, more confident in creating more effective sequences for myself and my fellow yogis who share the practice with me. I feel a deep transformation in my own practice and in the way of doing, creating, feeling asana, mantra and pranayama in my being. My edges have softened and my sequencing repertoire is greatly broadened. I never thought to sequence something like “shame” but that class really opened me up and I hope to offer similar classes to my students. The tip about feeling the emotion and detaching from it before teaching it is key. I feel the growth and I am open to more, as always! thank you so much.”

“The knowledge I gained from Clara’s training was astronomical, and I would do it all again in a heartbeat. Working with Clara has greatly enhanced my ability to execute sequenced classes more professionally. These are the “how to’s” or the “teaching” that I took away including, the use of clear and concise language, the appropriate vocal tone for the Bhavna and time of the class, allowing for space and silence, pausing for breath, the timing of the sequence within the sequence, use of suitable rhythms or music, and much more! The knowledge I gained in this training aligns with my aspirations as a teacher and human being.”
