Term of 6 Yoga Class Lesson Plans: Chest Opening & Balance Theme (Viniyoga Approach)

Planning your yoga classes just got easier. This 6-week pack of ready-to-teach stick person format lesson plans takes the stress out of preparation while giving your students practices that are intelligent, progressive, and deeply relevant to their lives.

What you’ll get:

• 6 fully planned 60-minute classes in the Viniyoga approach, ready to deliver (add your own choice of śavāsana, guided meditation practice etc for a 75 minute class).
• A progressive structure that develops week by week, no more wondering how to build continuity across a term.
• Themed around chest-opening purvatāna postures, helping students counteract hours of slumping at desks, driving, or phone use.
• Balance posture progression designed especially for the over-40s, building strength, stamina, and confidence while supporting long-term falls prevention.
• Calming prāṇāyāma practices to close each class, perfect for evening sessions and sleep support (easy to adapt for a more energising effect, if needed).
• Clear modification suggestions for students who cannot comfortably lie on the front for prone postures.

Why teachers love this pack:

• Saves you hours of planning time every week.
• Gives you confidence that your classes are safe, effective, and structured with purpose.
• Provides a coherent 6-week journey your students will notice and appreciate.
• Allows you to focus on teaching and connecting, not staring at a blank page.

Whether you’re supporting beginners, midlife students, or anyone feeling “tired but wired,” this pack equips you with adaptable, intelligently sequenced lessons that both ground and uplift.
