Yoga For Rocks by Sebastian Brosche

Brosche began grappling very young when he was introduced to Judo at the age of seven. It was on the Judo mats that he fell in love with grappling, and he continued to train in that style until achieving 2nd degree black belt. He found his way to submission wrestling, and eventually BJJ, years later in 2007. He realized after trying some introductory classes that BJJ was the sport he had been looking for, noting that his length and flexibility were better assets in the ground-based style.

His first BJJ coach was the esteemed Peter Blackwell, of Checkmat Sweden. Blackwell was the first scandinavian black belt in BJJand it was he who gave Brosche his blue belt. After being promoted, Sebastian moved his training to Norway, where he would continue growing under the tutelage of Eduardo Rios, the Brazilian-born founder of Frontline Academy.

Four years after beginning his BJJ journey, in 2011, the injuries started to pile up. Years of Judo had taken its toll on the young Brosche. He decided to try yoga in search of relief and found not only a new calling, but a life partner. His first coach, Stine Hegre, would soon become his wife.

After becoming certified as a yogi himself, the couple began to work on Brosche’s passion project: Yoga for BJJ. Together, they have helped thousands of BJJ athletes and other grapplers achieve their goals by staying fitter and more flexible as they age.
