Short answer
If you want the biggest pose library and other teachers’ sequences, look at Tummee or YogaClassPlan. If you want a drag-and-drop builder with a free tier, FLOW. For a phone-first builder, KramaFlow; for a one-time purchase on Apple devices, Pocket Yoga Teacher. If you’d rather start from a complete, timed class and edit it than from a blank canvas, P-urpose.
Three ways a tool starts your class
Feature lists blur together. The difference that shapes your planning week is how a tool gets you from nothing to a first draft:
- Blank canvas + pose library. You drag poses into order. Full control; the planning time is still yours. Most tools work this way.
- Other teachers’ sequences. You search a shared library, copy a class and adapt it. Fast if the right class exists; quality varies.
- Generate, then edit. You describe the class — purpose, style, length, level — and get a complete draft to change. Fastest to a first draft; less suited if you want to place every pose yourself.
Some tools combine these: FLOW and KramaFlow add AI suggestions inside a builder; Tummee and YogaClassPlan combine a builder with a shared library.

The tools
Tummee
The largest platform in the category: a very large pose library with variations and filters, a shared library of over a million teacher sequences, printable handouts, slideshow-style classes, pose suggestions while you build and voice-recorded cues. It runs on the web and as an app for iPhone, iPad and Android. There’s a free version and paid plans, including a lifetime option.
Good for: teachers who want breadth — unusual poses, specialised styles, lots of existing sequences to adapt. Consider: the breadth is also the learning curve; shared sequences vary in quality.
FLOW (yoga-sequencing.com)
A drag-and-drop builder with 420+ poses, hold times and cues, AI suggestions for next poses, PDF export and shareable student links. The free tier includes the full pose library but saves one class; Pro unlocks unlimited classes, PDF and sharing. Web and iOS, synced.
Good for: teachers who want to build pose by pose with a modern interface and a usable free tier. Consider: one saved class on free means you’ll pay once you plan regularly.
YogaClassPlan
A long-running workspace for teachers: 500+ pose illustrations, a drag-and-drop builder, class details such as level and duration, and more than 23,000 plans shared by other teachers that you can copy and edit. Works in the browser and on iPhone, iPad and Android tablets. There’s a 15-day free trial without a card.
Good for: teachers who like browsing other teachers’ plans. Consider: pricing isn’t on the public site; check it during the trial.
KramaFlow
A mobile app made by teachers: 200+ poses, pranayama and mudras, six styles including Ashtanga, Iyengar, Baptiste and Yin, class lengths from 30 to 90 minutes, an AI “Enrich” feature for themes, and PDF export. Some features are Pro.
Good for: planning on your phone, and teachers of the styles it names. Consider: it’s built for phones; the vendor lists iOS and Android, not a desk-sized web app.
Pocket Yoga Teacher
An Apple app for building sequences from 500+ poses and variations, with pose duration, sides and voice guidance, music from Apple Music or Spotify, PDF export and printing. It can play a sequence on Apple TV. One purchase, no subscription.
Good for: a low one-time cost and playing sequences back. Consider: Apple only; it’s a builder, so the planning is still manual.
P-urpose
You choose a purpose (such as hip opening, balance or back care), a style, a length and a level; P-urpose builds a complete class in seconds — sections timed to the minute, one-sided poses mirrored, a peak chosen and prepared, counterposes and bridge poses added. You then edit it: reorder, replace, add, change holds. You can teach from your phone or tablet in Teacher Mode and export a PDF. There are also free, ready-made class plans. English and German.
Good for: teachers who plan several classes a week and want a sound first draft fast. Consider, honestly: the pose library is deliberately small (126 poses) and leaves out headstand, handstand, shoulderstand, plough, full lotus and the splits; styles are vinyasa, slow flow, hatha, gentle and restorative — no Yin, Ashtanga or chair yoga yet; there’s no shared community library, no music and no student links. Free includes three generated and three saved classes a month; unlimited classes, full Teacher Mode and PDF are Pro (pricing).

Most of these have a free version or trial. Plan the same class — one you teach every week — in two of them and keep the one that got you to a class you’d actually teach fastest.

Planning without an app
Plenty of good teachers plan on paper or in a notes app. What matters is a consistent format. A page that works:
| Purpose | After this class, students should feel ___ in their ___. |
|---|---|
| Style · length · level | e.g. slow flow · 60 · mixed |
| Minutes | arrive · warm up · sun · standing · peak · cool down · rest |
| Peak + 3 versions | … |
| Sequence | one line per pose: name · breaths · side |
| Bridges | every level change and how you get there |
| Theme line | one sentence to open, one to close |
