Learn the Method. Practice Skillfully. Teach Confidently.
The Rocket system emerged from Larry's vision to democratize advanced asana practice and challenge the rigid structures of traditional yoga. In this concentrated five-day immersion, you'll dive deep into this practice that “gets you there faster," learning not just the physical sequences but the rebellious philosophy and creative spirit that make Rocket unique. This training encompasses all three Rocket sequences while emphasizing the foundational principle that every practitioner can access advanced postures through intelligent modifications and a playful approach to practice.
This intimate training at AstaYoga provides an opportunity to learn from two teachers who bridge the gap between Rocket's origins and its evolution. We approach this training in a way that honors Larry's original vision while offering practical tools for the modern yoga teacher. You'll learn to sequence creatively, offer skilled modifications, and most importantly, embody the founding spirit of Rocket – that yoga should be accessible, challenging, and fun for everyone. Whether you're an experienced teacher looking to expand your offerings or a dedicated practitioner ready to deepen your practice, this training will connect you to the authentic lineage of Rocket while empowering you to carry this revolutionary style forward.
Join us at AstaYoga this August for an immersive Rocket Yoga training that honors the roots of Ashtanga while launching your practice into new territory.
