Yoga Class Planning App

What does a class planning app actually do?

It closes the loop between writing a class and teaching it. Instead of a document that lives in one place and a notebook that lives in another, the class, the pose reference and the timer are all one thing.

• A class library — every class you've built, searchable by theme, peak pose or date taught.
• A pose library with cues, breath counts and modifications so nothing gets lost between classes.
• Printable outlines you can hand a cover teacher without editing anything.
• Play Mode that reads cues aloud so you can teach without staring at a phone.
• Linked music that opens from Spotify, Apple Music or YouTube on cue.

How is planning different from sequencing?

Planning is the outer layer — what you're teaching, when, and to whom. Sequencing is the inner layer — which poses in which order. Āsana/OS covers both; the yoga sequencing app overview is a good starting point if you want the sequencing side first, and how to sequence a class around a peak pose is the teaching-craft guide behind it.

• Planning asks: is this the right class for this room, at this time of day, this week?
• Sequencing asks: given that class, what are the poses and in what order?
• The app treats them as the same document, so a small planning change doesn't mean rewriting the sequence.

Printable outlines: what a class sheet looks like.

Every class exports to a one- or two-page outline suitable for a clipboard or a cover teacher.

• Class name, length, theme and peak pose at the top.
• Poses in order with breath counts or timing.
• Cues under each pose so someone else could teach it.
• Modifications and prop notes where you've set them.
• Playlist link at the foot of the page.

Play Mode: hands-free teaching on the mat.

Play Mode is what turns the plan into a class you can teach without a screen in your hand.

1. Open the class on your phone or tablet and tap Play.
2. Cues read aloud at the breath count or timer you set per pose.
3. Skip, hold, or add a breath from the lock screen when the room needs it.
4. Linked playlist launches on cue in Spotify, Apple Music or YouTube.
5. Class ends with a savasana timer and a gentle bell.

If your classes are vinyasa-heavy, the vinyasa sequence builder walks through how breath counts and reusable blocks fit into this.

How to start planning your classes in one place.

1. Sign up and rebuild the class you'll teach next.
2. Add cues to the three or four poses that matter most.
3. Rehearse once in Play Mode at teaching pace.
4. Print or share the outline to check it reads cleanly.
5. Teach from it. Adjust after class while it's still fresh.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use it in a studio with no reliable Wi-Fi?

Yes. Once a class is loaded, Play Mode and the class outline work without a live connection. You need Wi-Fi or data to sync new changes and to launch a linked playlist.

Can I print a class outline for a cover teacher?

Yes. Every class has a printable outline with poses, timing, cues and any modifications. Export it as PDF or share a view-only link.

Does it replace my class schedule / calendar?

No. It plans the contents of a class, not the calendar around it. Most teachers keep booking in their studio's system and use Āsana/OS to prepare what they'll actually teach.

Can I keep classes private?

Yes. Every class is private by default. Publishing to the community is a deliberate action per class.

What if I already have classes written in a notebook?

Rebuild your two or three most-taught classes in the app first, teach from them for a couple of weeks, then decide whether to migrate the rest. Most teachers only bother with the classes they still use.

Is there a mobile app?

The web app works on phone, tablet and desktop. You can add it to your home screen for a full-screen experience — most teachers use it on a phone or tablet on the mat.
