A yoga class lesson plan template in six parts

Prefer to plan by part of the class? A second form has ruled lines from Centering and breath, through standing and seated poses, to Rest and closing. The class flow sheet is the short version: five boxes joined by arrows.

  • Write a sequence once on the sequence builder, 16 poses with the side and breaths, then copy the part you need into each class plan.
  • Teaching a course? The series plan lists 6 classes with a theme, new poses and review.
  • Chair or desk yoga break has 8 rows for a short break in a classroom.

Questions and answers

Is there a kids yoga lesson plan template?

Yes. Kids yoga lesson plan has lines for Class, Date and Theme or story, then blocks for Welcome and breathing game, Warm-up, Story with poses, Pose game, Partner or group pose, and Quiet time.

Is there a blank yoga lesson plan template?

Yes. Only the sample is filled in. The other forms print no pose, style or sequence, so they take whatever you teach.

Is there a sample yoga lesson plan?

Yes. The sample fills the ten rows for a made-up 45 minute class on balance, with poses under their English names and a short cue beside each. It shows a filled-in form and does not teach how to do a pose.
