The Funny Thing About Yoga

Why Creative Sequencing Isn't Everything


Listen Later

This one starts off strong — Bradshaw and Giana chat about house elves, some important announcements, and a very crucial update about Bradshaw’s date with his dream guy (trust us, it’s a story worth sticking around for).


After the laughs, they dive into the real topic: Why Creative Sequencing Isn’t Everything.


They break down what creative sequencing actually is, why some teachers may lean heavily into it, and why it can sometimes be counterproductive. Giana and Bradshaw explore how sequencing shapes the overall experience of yoga — and how overly complex or random flows can sometimes feel chaotic, create confusion, and pull students away from the heart of the practice.


They advocate for meeting students where they are, building them up thoughtfully, and recognizing that being in an overly anticipatory state (always wondering "what's next") can actually detract from the yoga itself. Instead of simply leaving students feeling good in the moment, they believe great sequencing should help students both feel and learn — ideally, it should do both.


They also touch on essential topics like safety, accessibility, and the big question: Who is the creative sequencing really for — the student or the teacher?

Expect real talk, real laughs, and a real reminder of what yoga is truly about.
