Rocket Yoga with Julio

This is a double length Rocket Yoga session that allows us to dwell on key poses as necessary so as to practice without pressure. Rocket is based on a playful approach to poses from the Ashtanga series, re-sequenced into series  that encourage  the practitioner to have a go at them in a light-hearted way. The Rocket was devised in the 1980s by a Californian yogi named Larry Schultz who studied with Ashtanga Guru Pathabhi Jois. On returning to San Francisco, Schultz rearranged the Ashtanga sequences into his own series making them more accessible. He was the tour yoga instructor for legendary American Folk-Rock band The Grateful Dead and it was guitarist Bob Weir who nicknamed Shultz’s series  “The Rocket” as he felt it “gets you there faster” - wherever ‘there’ is! The Rocket is a fast paced Vinyasa practice that covers dozens of poses in a session, Rocket 3 includes 90 poses that are usually done in 90’, yet we schedule 2 hours so we can pause and try various approaches to making them as accessible to all as possible. Come join us, no yogi left behind!
