What if the key to confident, authentic teaching is letting go of rigid rules and stepping into your own way of moving? In this episode, we sit down with Sarah White to explore how creative sequencing can shift not only your classes but your entire relationship with yoga.

Part one of this conversation dives into Sarah’s journey from Emirates cabin crew to internationally recognised yoga educator, and how she found her way to the intuitive, intention-led method she is now known for.

We talk about

The moment she realised yoga was her calling

How rigid sequencing left her burnt out and why simplicity became her anchor

Why creative sequencing is not about fancy transitions but about depth, agency and embodiment

The four part structure at the heart of her approach and why she reverse engineers every flow

The teachers who gave her permission to break the rules and trust her intuition

How nature, curiosity and small movements spark her creativity and shape the themes she teaches

Sarah opens up about the values that guide her work, the freedom she wants for every teacher and the moment she realised sequencing could feel alive rather than restrictive.

Part two continues the conversation and goes even deeper into intuition, planning and the realities of building a yoga business.

Listen now and get ready to rethink what a yoga class can be.
