In this episode, we explore two of the most common myths that get in your way when it comes to creating effective sequences. If you believe that every class must be brand new to keep students engaged, or that sequencing should revolve around what feels good in your own body, well, that's just not true! 

We'll examine why constant novelty is not only unrealistic but also counterproductive for student learning and nervous system regulation. Learn why repetition and familiarity are actually essential for developing strength, stability, and proprioception, especially for students with pain, injuries, or limited mobility. 

We also explore the limitations of sequencing based solely on your personal practice. While your own body can be a helpful reference point, it cannot reflect the wide range of experiences and needs present in a group class. You’ll hear how this mindset might lead to gaps in your teaching and unintentionally exclude students who move differently than you. 

Instead of chasing creativity for creativity’s sake, this episode will help you shift toward purpose, clarity, and progressive sequencing that meets students where they are.

Most importantly, it encourages you to see that effective sequencing does not come from being flashy or inventive; it comes from being intentional, observant, and aligned with what your students actually need.
