Rocket yoga was developed by Larry Schultz from Ashtanga yoga. The Rocket 1 sequence is a mixed-levels sequence derived from the postures of the primary Ashtanga yoga series and is meant to help practitioners build a strong foundation that develops their practice. The Rocket 1 sequence includes twists, folds, hip opening, body strengthening, and the opportunity for some inversions, that will allow the practitioner to build their endurance and stamina.

Benefits:

This class sequence is meant to help the practitioner build strength and stamina for furthering their practice. It will provide the practitioner an opportunity to learn how to use their breath, gaze, and inner strength to balance out their sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. This balance of the nervous systems allows the practitioner to access a state of tranquil alertness — or as some call it, their “flow state”.

What to expect:

This 90-minute masterclass is a flow-based class that will encourage the student to link their body movements to a 5-count breath while increasing heat in the body. Class will begin with sun salutations for warm-up before moving into the standing postures, followed by the seated series, core series, and the traditional closing sequence. Following the physical practice students will be led through pranayama (breathing exercises) and meditation. Expect to find new challenges, get sweaty, and have fun!
