How the timing worksheet works

Each phase has a name, a duration in minutes and optional notes. Edit those fields directly, then use Add phase, Remove, Move up or Move down to arrange the plan in teaching order. Decimal minutes are supported: 2.5 minutes means two minutes and thirty seconds.

The worksheet adds the durations and builds cumulative start and end times. It compares that total with your class target and reports the minutes still available or the amount over target. It does not automatically shorten any phase, because a timing change should be a conscious teaching decision. Up to twenty phases are supported, with labels of eighty characters and notes of two hundred characters each.

Worked example: preparing a sixty-minute class

The starter plan has five minutes for arrival, ten for an opening section, thirty for the main practice and fifteen for closing. The cumulative windows are 0–5, 5–15, 15–45 and 45–60 minutes. The total matches a sixty-minute target. These are editable example labels and times, not recommendations for a specific body, style or student group.

If you add a three-minute housekeeping phase without changing the other rows, the result becomes sixty-three minutes and shows three minutes over target. You can then revise your allocation, extend the target if the booking allows it, or remove the added row. Notes can hold practical reminders such as an announcement, a music cue or a question to revisit after class.

Save the plan and prepare the music

Copy the result for a planning document, download the inputs and cumulative timings as JSON, or copy a share link that reopens the same worksheet. No account is required. Calculations happen in your browser; shared links contain the text you enter, so keep private student information out of the notes.

Use the duration calculator to check the music against the phase map, then rehearse any critical music changes. The worksheet does not generate poses, evaluate a sequence, assess medical needs or replace qualified instruction. NCCIH’s overview explains that safety and appropriate modifications depend on the person and practice. Use your own training and setting-specific judgment when choosing what to teach.

Common questions

Does the planner suggest yoga poses?

No. It organizes labels, timing and notes that you supply. It does not generate or approve physical practice instructions.

Will it force the phases to fit my target?

No. It shows the mismatch so you can decide which timing to change. A zero difference means the durations add up to your target.

Can I save or share the plan without signing in?

Yes. Copy the result, download JSON, or use the share link. A share link includes your inputs and notes, so anyone with it can read them.
