My student and I were initiating a training flight. We had just completed our takeoff checklist; and pulled up to the hold short lines on Alpha for Runway XXL. We made the radio call to Tower that we were holding short and ready for takeoff. We received the clearance '(Our call sign); cleared for takeoff runway XXL; on course.' I took the readback for the student. We cleared visually base and final legs for the approach side of Runway XXL; and proceeded into position on the runway. Just short of the runway pavement; my student puts the brakes on hard and brings the plane to a full stop. A Piper Warrior was on approximately a 1/8 mi final at approximately 50 ft in altitude. The plane on final had been obscured by our wing and we did not see it. We did not have the time or the space to maneuver back behind the hold short line before the Piper Warrior landed.
C172 flight instructor reported stopping just past the hold short lines when an aircraft was observed on short final.
