In this episode, Celest and Hannah sit down with internationally renowned yoga teacher, author and brain-nerd Adell Bridges to talk about the art of creative sequencing, staying curious and finding balance between innovation and accessibility.
Adell shares how she went from gymnast to yoga teacher to neuroscience enthusiast, and the exact method she uses to design her signature flows.
Together, they explore:
How to build creative yet grounded yoga sequences.
Why planning your classes creates more freedom, not less.
How to make every student feel included and empowered.
The connection between novelty, safety and the brain’s learning process.
If you’ve ever felt stuck trying to be “original” in your teaching, this one’s for you.
