How do you learn to cue a yoga pose?

Start with a simple formula: a breath, an action verb, a body part and a direction, then the pose name. Once that's automatic, layer in deepening cues, watch-outs, bandha activations, and assists over time. You don't need to cue everything in every class.

Do you have to cue every alignment point in every pose?

No. A few well-placed cues sprinkled across a class land far better than a flood of instruction. One memorable cue can change how a student feels a pose for years.

Practice the asana, not just the sequence

CueCraft's real innovation isn't building a sequence; it's helping teachers practice the information about each asana. You build a flow in order to rehearse it.

Start with a simple cueing formula

In vinyasa, a clean cue is: [Breath] + [Action verb] + [Body part / direction] + [Pose name]. For example: "Exhale, fold forward from your hips, Uttanasana." Begin with the names, add a layer of cues the first round through a flow, then progressively add or strip layers.

Flip the card for the teaching notes

Each pose card flips to reveal teaching notes: primary and secondary alignment, watch-outs, bandha engagement and its purpose, plus verbal and physical (hands-on) assists. You don't teach all of it at once. You sprinkle a few in, and watch them click for students in new ways.
