Best Yoga Class Planning & Sequencing Apps

Planning classes is the invisible half of teaching — an hour of sequencing for every hour on the mat, multiplied across a weekly schedule. Sequencing apps promise to shrink that hour. This is the rare software category where the leading tool costs about a dollar a week, so the question isn't budget; it's whether an app fits how you plan at all.

We list only tools we could verify as active in July 2026. This category has a long tail of small apps that appear and disappear; we'd rather cover three real options than pad the list.

Best overall

Tummee

The reference tool: a very large pose library, a drag-and-drop sequence builder, and shareable lesson plans.

Tummee's value is the library: thousands of poses with variations, cues, and modifications, plus a huge base of reference sequences to adapt rather than start from blank. You build classes by dragging poses onto a timeline, save them by theme or level, and share a clean printout or link with students or your YTT mentor. At ~$10.95/month (or ~$95/year) it costs less than one drop-in class fee. The trade-off is aesthetic, not functional: the interface looks its age, and it's web-first rather than a slick native app. Teachers in training get particular value — documenting sequences is usually a YTT requirement anyway.

For

  • Largest pose and sequence library in the category
  • Reusable, searchable class archive
  • Cheap enough to be a non-decision

Against

  • Dated interface
  • Web-first; no polished mobile experience

Best for therapeutic teaching

Sequence Wiz

Sequencing with an anatomy and yoga-therapy lens, from a viniyoga-trained physiologist.

Where Tummee optimizes for breadth, Sequence Wiz optimizes for intent: sequences organized around structural and therapeutic goals, with supporting articles on anatomy and adaptation. If you teach one-on-one therapeutic sessions, seniors, or clients working around injuries, its framing will match how you already think. The ecosystem is smaller and the visual style plainer — check current pricing on its site, as it isn't consistently published.

The honest alternative

Paper, index cards, and a notes app

A real limitation of this category: plenty of experienced teachers plan better by hand, and no app fixes a planning process that isn't there. If you currently sketch arcs on paper and it works, an app adds a subscription, not skill. The moment to switch is when you catch yourself rebuilding the same class from memory for the third time — that's an archive problem, and archives are what software is for.

How to decide in one evening

Take a class you already teach and rebuild it in Tummee's free trial. If the rebuild took less time than your usual planning — or produced a better arc — subscribe. If you fought the interface the whole way, you're a paper planner; spend the $95/year on a workshop instead. That's the entire decision. Sequencing apps don't teach sequencing; continuing education does. Be wary of any app claiming otherwise.

Frequently asked questions

What app do yoga teachers use to plan classes?

Tummee is the most widely used dedicated sequencing tool (~$10.95/month), with the largest pose and reference-sequence library. Sequence Wiz serves therapeutic and anatomy-focused teachers. Many teachers also plan perfectly well with paper or a notes app.

Is Tummee worth it for a yoga teacher in training?

It's one of the cheapest useful subscriptions in a YTT: most trainings require documented sequences, and building them in Tummee creates a searchable archive you'll reuse for years. Try the free trial against one homework assignment before paying.

Can I share sequences with students?

Yes — Tummee produces printable and linkable lesson plans, which also works for homework between private sessions. If sharing practice videos rather than plans is the goal, that's an on-demand platform job; see the teacher stack guide.

Planning is solved — what about the rest?

Booking, website, email, and online classes each have a right answer for your situation.
