Full Class Introduction: 2-Min Yoga for BJJ Guide

We are done with the warm-ups and it's time to move on to a longer class and a bigger challenge, the full 60-minute class. Stine, what are you supposed to feel after you have completed a 60-minute full Yoga for BJJ class? I'm supposed to feel happy. This class gives much more than the warm-up.

We move into more standing poses, more flow. It's really nice. A lot of people will say that they feel the same thing that they do after sparring if the class was really good. If you do it really well, people will say that they have the same feeling like they do after a really nice round of sparring.

That's what we want to have people feeling in the end. You're basically a steward on a journey for people. It requires a lot of you to deliver a good 60-minute class. You could never deliver five or six full 60-minute classes in a work day.

That's impossible. That's why Yoga teachers usually are better paid than the average job because it requires so much of you to deliver a 60-minute class. You're basically taking people for a long journey from wherever they are coming from into the zone and then relaxing at the end. You're really in charge of people's happiness.

If you do a good job there, people will love you. It requires a lot of work and you have to go through the curriculum and really learn it well and practice it a lot to be able to deliver that to other people. This standard class, you want to know it by heart. You know exactly what pose that comes after the next one.

Do this class over and over and over so you know it in your sleep. Also, do it over and over so that you can cut out all the extra words, all the extra wording, all the bullshit and just say exactly what's needed. The less talk you do, the more people can experience the class. It will take many rehearsals for you to deliver this class well.
