Why We Created The School 

Have you ever wished your yoga teacher training (YTT) offered a deeper understanding of the science behind sequencing? Did your training leave you feeling uncertain about how to create inspired, creative classes with confidence?

You’re not alone - and that’s exactly why we created this school.

The School of Yoga Sequencing is the brainchild of Hayley Winter, founder of the Institute of Yoga Sports Science® (YSS), and Annelize Ferreira, YSS Consultant Physiotherapist. Together, they’ve built the first continuing education school of its kind in the yoga world - backed by research and designed to provide practical, real-world solutions to the sequencing challenges modern yoga teachers face every day.

So, what makes this school truly unique? 

Our courses give yoga teachers the creative freedom to develop their sequencing skills by blending the science of movement with the simple power of art—brought to life through our unique Sequencing Playbooks. And don’t worry—you don’t need to be an artist to get the full benefit from what we offer! We help yoga teachers blend science and art to teach with confidence and creativity.

We’ll show you how to unlock fresh inspiration for your classes, supported by a solid understanding of movement science—giving you the confidence to teach with clarity and impact.

Meet Hayley

I’m Hayley Winter, co-founder of The School of Yoga Sequencing and founder of the Institute of Yoga Sports Science® (YSS). For nearly 30 years, I’ve been a dedicated yoga educator and yoga sports scientist, specializing in sports-specific yoga, biomechanics, and movement science. My passion lies in providing advanced teacher training and continuing education that bridges tradition with innovation.
With a background in both art (Animation degree) and science (Master’s in Sports and Exercise Biomechanics), I bring a unique perspective to yoga education. My approach to sequencing is deeply rooted in years of drawing and analyzing movement—frame by frame—combining creativity with precision to develop effective, science-based teaching methods.
At The School of Yoga Sequencing, our mission is to make continuing education in sequencing fun, playful, and curiosity-driven - while equipping you with the tools to be creative, confident, and masterful in your teaching.
Welcome to a space where savvy sequencing helps you master the science and the art of confident teaching.
