Rocket Yoga Intro Workshop

Introduction to The Rocket®

Rocket Ashtanga Vinyasa is a style developed by Larry Schultz, a dedicated student of the founder of Ashtanga yoga – Patthabi Jois.

Larry developed Rocket to make the Ashtanga system more accessible to the western body. There is less focus on deep knee flexion (lotus poses) and more focus on strengthening the deep core in a functional and therapeutic way.

The Rocket sequences are set routines that offer a foundation for creativity to be built upon. Rocket draws inspiration from pilates, calisthenics, and modern functional understanding of the body.

The Rocket Sequences (1,2&3) are full of forward folds,  back bends, spinal twists, hip openers, and core strengthening exercises to create a well-balanced and uplifting sequence of postures that opens the body and clears the mind.

It is a fun and challenging flow with preparation for handstands and arm balances throughout.

Rocket® 1 Series finding Float

Join us for a 90 Minute Rocket Vinyasa class focused on getting the float in the Sun Salutations, and adding inversions throughout the practice. This class will prepare the body with deep stretches and core strengthening and is a good introduction to the fundamentals of the Rocket practice.

• Learn the art of sliding, gliding, and floating in your Sun Salutations and Vinyasa Transitions.
• Incorporating Inversions as Handstand and Forearm stand into your practice.
• Strength Training Dills to bring perfection and ease to seated vinyasa jump throughs and jump backs.

We'll have time for a little break including time for Q&A.

Arm Balance & Handstand Workshop
