What is Rocket Yoga?

What is Rocket Yoga.....this is a question I've been asked quite a few times recently so to dispel the mystery here it is.

Rocket was created by Larry Shultz as a modified version of the traditional Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Series. Rocket Yoga is designed to wake up the nervous system while promoting awareness in the body and a sense of change and freedom in your practise, putting a new spin on "put a rocket up your class!" Larry designed an asana sequence that would invigorate and strengthen, with advanced postures while still staying accessible.

So why call it Rocket??

Larry taught a number of members from the Grateful Dead. Bob Weir from the band loved it so much that we coined the name "Rocket". When Larry asked him why Rocket he replied "Because it gets you there faster"

Take a look for yourself straight from the man himself!

Rocket Yoga. It gets you there faster!

When I first started getting serious about yoga it was all about alignment, protecting vulnerable arias of the body and making the practise accessible to your body, so not going to far into the pose just to get there. Now that I'm teaching these things are still important, but sometimes in all the regulation you can forget to have fun, this is where the Rocket comes in.

The Rocket which was created by Larry Schultz to breath some life into the traditional Ashtanga Vinyasa Primary series. This dynamic practise is strong with a lot of inversions but also accessible an because your having fun being upside down, its get you to your targets faster than other forms of yoga.

So what do you say, sound like this could be for you? Take a look at my gurus taking the Rocket to the sky and beyond.
