Vinyasa Sequence Builder
A vinyasa sequence builder is a drag and drop tool for putting a breath linked class together pose by pose. In Sequence/OS you pull shapes from a pose library, order them into a flow, set breath counts or timing per pose, drop the class onto your week in the calendar, and teach the whole sequence hands free in Play Mode. Every pose stays fully editable right up to the mat. Plan, play, practice.

What does a vinyasa sequence builder do?
It gives you a canvas for a breath linked class. Poses in order, timing between them, cues on each shape, instead of a blank document. For a broader look at the tool see the yoga sequencing app overview.
- Searchable pose library with Sanskrit and English names, side variations, and modifications.
- Drag and drop reordering so an arc can shift after a rehearsal without retyping anything.
- Per pose breath counts and timers, so a five breath hold and a two breath transition sit side by side.
- Saved mini sequences like sun salutes, warm ups and peak clusters, reusable across classes.
- Inspire me seeds anchor poses — grounding, pranayama, warm-up, peak, seated cool-down, corpse — for you to fill between.
- Fully editable at any point. Nothing is locked once saved.
Plan the week. Drop and play from the calendar.
A single flow rarely lives in a single class. Drag your saved vinyasa onto the days you teach it, and tap the calendar entry on the day to open Play Mode. The same flow can run Monday morning, Wednesday evening and Saturday brunch without duplicating a file.
How is building a vinyasa flow different from other styles?
Vinyasa is built on breath to movement and repeatable transitions, so the builder is tuned for short holds, symmetrical sides, and reusable blocks rather than long single pose timers.
- Breath counts default to inhale and exhale pairs instead of seconds.
- Blocks like Surya A and B live as one draggable item you can still open and edit.
- Left and right sides are separate entries so you can teach them differently on purpose.
- Transitions like vinyasa, half vinyasa and step through are pose library items in their own right.
How do I build a vinyasa class in the app?
The mechanics are the same every time. The craft is deciding what goes where. If you want the teaching side first, read how to sequence a class around a peak pose before opening the builder.
- Open a new sequence and set the class length (usually 60 or 75 minutes).
- Drop in a warm up block. Cat and cow, low lunge, one round of Surya A.
- Build the standing section toward your peak. Sun salutes, standing series, peak pose.
- Add the cool down. Seated forward folds, twists, hips.
- Close with a savasana timer and a short arrival cue.
- Drop the class onto tomorrow in the calendar.
- Open Play Mode, rehearse once with the timer, and adjust the pacing.
Can I teach directly from the sequence?
Yes. Play Mode is the reason the builder is worth using instead of a document. It brings the class to life on the mat.
- Cues read aloud so you can leave the phone on the mat.
- Timer advances between poses at the breath count you set.
- Skip, hold, or add a breath from the lock screen when the room needs it.
- Playlist launches from your linked service on cue.

Frequently asked questions
- Does the builder handle sun salutations as a block?
- Yes. You can drop a full Surya A or B in as a single block and then stretch, replace or repeat it. Under the hood it is still ordered poses, so you can pop the block open and swap Chaturanga for a knees chest chin any time.
- Can I set different breath counts on each side?
- Yes. Every pose carries its own breath count or timer, and left and right sides are separate entries. A five breath Warrior II on the right and a three breath on the left is one drag apart.
- How editable is a flow once it is built?
- Fully editable. Reorder poses, swap peaks, change breath counts, rewrite cues, drop a saved block in the middle. Every change saves live and Play Mode picks it up next time.
- Can I schedule the same flow across the week?
- Yes. Drop the class onto multiple days on the calendar. When teaching day arrives, tap the entry to open Play Mode straight from the calendar, no digging.
- Can I save a warm up or peak sequence and reuse it in other classes?
- Yes. Save any run of poses as a mini sequence and drop it into a new class as one item. Edit the saved version and it propagates to future classes but leaves already taught ones untouched.
- Does it play music with the sequence?
- You link a Spotify, Apple Music or YouTube playlist to the sequence and Play Mode opens it on cue. Sequence/OS does not stream the audio itself. It hands off to the service you already pay for.
- Can I share a vinyasa sequence with another teacher?
- Yes. Publish it to the community and other teachers can save and remix it with credit back to you, or share a private view link with a specific teacher for cover classes.
