THEMING FOR YOGA CLASSES & WORKSHOPS
Online 23 August 2026
Jennie Wadsten Sharma & The Shala London
The workshop will be recorded – so if you can’t attend on 23 August but would like to get a recording: sign up and you can do the course in your own time! You’ll get access to the recording for 14 days.
Want to make class planning easier and more inspiring?
Preparing yoga classes and choreographing new sequences can be fun – but time consuming.
In this workshop you’ll learn how to work with philosophical and physical themes, which makes both teaching and practicing more inspiring.
It gives you the skills to re-use your favourite yoga sequences over and over again, whenever you want – and still give the students a fresh perspective and a new focus for each class.
Jennie will share her secrets on how to give the students a yoga experience beyond just asanas. You will learn how to authentically weave in themes into your classes, to inspire your students and creatively introduce yogic concepts in an accessible and meaningful way.
You’ll also learn techniques for mindful communication, ensuring your words enrich the practice without overwhelming it.
All the theory sessions are in English – but we often have many Swedes joining us so there’ll be the option to go into Swedish speaking breakout rooms during the exercises if you like – and the course workbook is available both in English and Swedish: just let Jennie know which language you prefer and she’ll send it to you as a PDF.

Can we use AI for Theming?
Yes and no! 🙂
It’s great for brainstorming ideas, but think of it as a creative assistant, not a replacement. So for theming, it’s important that you only use it for inspiration, not to write texts. I’ll include a short section on the do’s and don’t if you’re curious about using AI in your planning.

Included in the price
– A printable workbook, with inspiration and templates to make it easy for you to create your own themes.

– A certificate (Yoga Alliance)
“Using themes saves me so much time and energy! I used to make a new yoga sequence for each class and even though I enjoyed it, it often stressed me out: it felt like I had to come up with something new for each class to make sure the students didn’t get bored… Nowadays I often reuse my favourite sequences and just tweak them a bit – and focus on using a new theme for each class instead – and the students LOVE it! Last week we focused on transitions – both between poses and transitions in life – and I got amazing feedback. Thank you so much Jennie for all the tools you have given me!”

“Thank you so much for a fantastic day. I’m still buzzing! It was so much more than “just” a workshop: thank you for creating this safe space. I loved the brainstorming and that we got support both from you and from other teachers. Having a community is so important!”
