Learn to See. Learn to Feel. Learn to Teach.

Touch is one of the most powerful tools a yoga teacher can develop, but only when it is rooted in knowledge, sensitivity, and trust.

Touch, Trust, Transform is an immersive three-day training designed for yoga teachers and dedicated practitioners who want to deepen their understanding of the Rocket Yoga system through biomechanics, energetic principles, intelligent hands-on assists, and detailed asana analysis.

Rather than simply learning where to place your hands, you'll discover why each posture functions the way it does, how to recognize individual movement patterns, and how to offer safe, effective, and meaningful support that empowers every practitioner.

This is not just an assists training, it's a complete exploration of the Rocket Series from the inside out.

A Complete Breakdown of the Rocket Series

Over the course of 30 intensive hours, we'll deconstruct every posture from the Rocket Classic and Hybrid Series, exploring each asana through multiple perspectives:

• Anatomical alignment

• Functional biomechanics

• Muscle activation and mobility

• Joint mechanics

• Breath integration

• Bandhas and energetic awareness

• Drishti and focus

• Common compensations

• Intelligent modifications and progressions

You'll develop a deeper understanding of not only how to practice each pose, but why it works, and how to adapt it for different bodies and abilities.

Hands-On Assisting: Beyond Physical Adjustments

Hands-on assists are about far more than helping someone move deeper into a posture.

Throughout the immersion, you'll learn how to:

• Build trust through conscious touch

• Offer safe and effective physical assists

• Read movement patterns and body mechanics

• Support rather than force

• Improve alignment without compromising stability

• Recognize when not to assist

• Communicate clearly through verbal and tactile cues

• Develop confidence while assisting advanced postures and transitions

Every concept is immediately put into practice through partner work, allowing you to both give and receive assists so the learning becomes embodied.

What We'll Explore

Foundations

Discover the structural principles, breath mechanics, and energetic foundations that support every movement within the Rocket system.

Standing Postures & Balances

Explore grounding, stability, balance strategies, and the subtle muscular engagement that creates effortless strength.

Hip Openers

Understand hip mobility, rotational mechanics, and how to distinguish healthy range of motion from compensatory movement patterns.

Backbends

Study spinal extension, shoulder mobility, safe loading principles, and intelligent progressions for sustainable backbending.

Twists

Learn the biomechanics of spinal rotation, the relationship between breath and movement, and how twists influence the body's energetic systems.

Arm Balances

Develop a functional understanding of leverage, core integration, scapular stability, and progressive pathways into advanced balancing postures.

Inversions

Break down alignment, strength development, confidence-building techniques, and safe spotting methods for inversions.

Finishing Sequence

Discover how the closing postures regulate the nervous system, integrate the practice, and create balance between effort and recovery.

Included Throughout the Training

• Two Rocket Yoga practices each day

• Comprehensive Asana Lab

• Rocket Classic & Hybrid Series breakdown

• Biomechanics lectures

• Energetics lectures

• Hands-on Assisting Labs

• Partner practice sessions

• Verbal cueing and teaching methodology

• Intelligent modifications and progressions

• Spotting techniques for inversions and arm balances

• Practical teaching exercises and feedback

Who Is This Training For?

This immersion is ideal for:

• Yoga teachers looking to refine their hands-on assisting skills

• Rocket Yoga teachers wanting a deeper understanding of the series

• Yoga teacher trainees seeking advanced education

• Dedicated practitioners who want to explore the mechanics and energetics of their own practice

• Anyone interested in teaching with greater confidence, precision, and presence

What You'll Leave With

You'll leave with a clear framework for understanding the Rocket Yoga Series, from foundational principles to advanced postures, allowing you to teach, assist, and practice with greater confidence and intention, transforming the way you support others both on and off the mat.

Whether your goal is to become a more skillful teacher or to deepen your personal practice, Touch, Trust, Transform offers the tools to move beyond shapes and into a richer understanding of movement, connection, and transformation.

Join us for an unforgettable weekend of movement, knowledge, and connection.

I am beyond excited to be offering this special 50h Rocket®, Recovery & Reset YTTC at Yoga Shed in Hiriketiya, Sri Lanka.

This training will be truly unique. As we move through the Rocket® program, you’ll have the incredible opportunity to restore after practice with access to a sauna and Magnesium pool or to enjoy some time at the beach an experience that perfectly complements the intensity of the work. Set in the laid-back, tropical atmosphere of Hiriketiya, just moments from the beach and surrounded by some of the area’s most beautiful cafés and restaurants, this setting offers the ideal balance between effort and ease. In my opinion, it’s the perfect combination for such a powerful and transformative practice.

*We have a few accommodation options available, so when booking your spot for the training, don’t hesitate to reserve your stay as well. This is the high season on the island, so we recommend securing your accommodation as soon as possible. Please contact Yoga Shed via WhatsApp +94766206624 for more information. There are also plenty of hotels and Airbnb options in the area.

During this intensive yet restorative 6-day Rocket® YTT, you will…

… be practicing, learning, sweating, laughing, and sharing our experiences together. This training in Rocket® Vinyasa Yoga, also known as Progressive Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, focuses on the sequences created by Larry Schultz, a long-time student of K. Pattabhi Jois, the founder of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga.

While both systems share deep similarities, they also have clear differences. Exploring both offers students a real opportunity to deepen their practice and move beyond some of the traditional limitations found in Ashtanga.

Although I never had the chance to meet Larry Schultz (the creator of Rocket® Yoga) in person, I feel deeply connected to his legacy thanks to the insights and inspiring stories shared by my teacher, David Kyle, who studied and practiced extensively with him.

We will cover The Rocket® sequences: Rocket® I, Rocket® II, and Rocket® III. These series combine key postures from the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th series of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. This training places a strong emphasis on helping students progress safely into postures through strengthening techniques and drills inspired by Larry Schultz and David Kyle, as well as embracing the philosophical approach of yoga as a lifestyle.

As an advanced 50-hour Rocket® YTT, you will receive a 50-hour certification that can be counted toward Yoga Alliance continuing education and the 500-hour Progressive Ashtanga Yoga Professional Development Program.

WHAT IS ROCKET® YOGA?

Rocket® Vinyasa Yoga, also known as Progressive Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, is based on the dynamic sequences created by Larry Schultz, a longtime student of the founder of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, K. Pattabhi Jois. Rooted in the traditional Ashtanga system, Rocket® Yoga honors its foundation while introducing a more accessible, playful, and progressive approach to the practice.

Although Rocket® Yoga and traditional Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga share the same roots, they each have their own unique qualities. Exploring both systems offers students the opportunity to deepen their practice, cultivate greater creativity, and move beyond some of the limitations of the traditional sequence-based progression, while maintaining respect for its lineage.

I never had the opportunity to meet Larry Schultz, the creator of Rocket® Yoga, in person. However, through the wisdom, stories, and teachings shared by my teacher, David Kyle, who studied closely with Larry and practiced with him extensively, I feel deeply connected to his legacy and the spirit of this incredible practice.

WHAT ARE THE ROCKET® SEQUENCES?

Throughout this training, we will explore Rocket I, Rocket II, Rocket III, and the Rocket® Hybrid sequence. These sequences were developed by combining key postures from the First, Second, Third, and Fourth Series of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, creating a dynamic and progressive practice that is both challenging and accessible.

A major focus of this training is helping students build the strength, mobility, and confidence needed to progress safely through the Rocket® sequences. You'll learn the effective drills, strengthening techniques, and methodology passed down through the teachings of Larry Schultz and David Kyle, while also exploring the philosophy of Rocket® Yoga and how to integrate the practice as a way of life, both on and off the mat.
