Vinyasa sequencing for teachers
Intelligent Design is an immersion into the architecture of a powerful yoga class. In our time together, we will investigate pathways of sequencing to help you tell a clear, powerful story through movement.
Adam Whiting
The modern Vinyasa yoga landscape is an ever-evolving space. As teachers, we are tasked with the profound responsibility of honoring the spiritual traditions of yoga while simultaneously educating our students on anatomy, biomechanics, and sustainable human movement. We are challenged to deliver all of this in a beautifully choreographed, engaging, and dynamic package.
You will learn how to design practices that educate as much as they entertain. We will explore how to evolve the Vinyasa practice into one that seamlessly integrates modern movement innovations and anatomical understanding with traditional yoga postures and engaging theming.

What we'll cover
- Pathways of sequencing — how a class tells one clear story rather than five
- Designing a practice that teaches something without stopping to lecture
- Where modern movement and anatomy meet traditional postures, without either losing
- Theming that holds a room, and theming that empties it
Who it's for
Teachers and teachers in training. This one assumes you already know how a class is put together and want to build better ones.
You do not need years behind you — if you have finished a training, or you're in one now, you'll get plenty from the day.
Not a general class. If you'd rather practise than plan, Friday and Saturday are yours.
With twenty years of experience teaching across the United States, Asia, and Australia, Adam Whiting's approach to the many practices of yoga is rooted in the understanding that movement is a pathway toward self-understanding and a sense of belonging. His teaching seeks to bridge the gap between technical precision and embodied experience, merging anatomical fluency with integrated musicality.
Through a solid scaffolding of precise sequencing and elegant cueing, Adam's classes, workshops, and trainings are designed to move students beyond the rational and relentless mind and into a state of steady presence. His practice and his teaching balance the strength of intelligent vinyasa with the settling and grounding practices of yin, meditation, and yoga nidra.
What to bring
Your own mat, comfortable clothes, and a notebook you'll actually write in. Bring any sequencing you're stuck on. Props are here.
This is continuing education for teachers and trainees, not a beginner workshop and not a qualification. Bring your questions.
