About the Training

The 50-Hour Rocket® Vinyasa Yoga Online Teacher Training is a dynamic and immersive journey into the progressive world of Rocket® Yoga, a playful yet disciplined practice that blends strength, mobility, and freedom through the breath.

Guided live over four weekends, this online training is designed for yoga teachers and dedicated practitioners who wish to deepen their understanding of Rocket® philosophy, methodology, and teaching techniques. Each weekend includes guided Rocket® practices, posture breakdowns, pranayama, meditation, and teaching labs, with opportunities for feedback, community, and growth.

You’ll explore the foundations of Rocket® I, II, and III, intelligent transitions, safe progressions for inversions and backbends, and learn to teach these sequences with confidence, clarity, and creativity — all from the comfort of your own space.

WHAT IS ROCKET® YOGA?

Rocket®, also known as Progressive Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, was created by Larry Schultz, a long-time student of K. Pattabhi Jois, the founder of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga.

While grounded in traditional Ashtanga, Rocket introduces creative variations and progressive sequencing that make the practice more accessible and empowering. This blend allows practitioners to expand beyond traditional limitations, enhancing strength, freedom, and self-expression both on and off the mat.

Although I never met Larry in person, I deeply feel his legacy through this method, and through the insights and inspiration of David Kyle, my teacher, who studied and practiced closely with Larry for many years.

WHAT ARE THE ROCKET® SEQUENCES?

Throughout this training, we will explore the Rocket® I, Rocket® II, and Rocket® III sequences — creative blends of key postures from the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th series of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga and also the Hybrids in Rocket® Yoga sequences.

The focus is on helping students progress safely and effectively through modifications, strengthening techniques, and drills drawn from the teachings of Larry Schultz and David Kyle. We also weave in the philosophical and lifestyle elements of Rocket® Yoga — a practice that celebrates curiosity, playfulness, and awareness.

Overview

This 50-hour Rocket® Vinyasa & Biomechanics Teacher Training is an immersive, in-person program crafted to elevate both your practice and your teaching. Over five transformative days in Lisbon, you’ll explore the foundations of the Rocket® system while diving deeper into the movement science that supports sustainable, intelligent yoga.

Hosted and guided by Lita, you’ll experience the freedom, creativity, and energetic power of Rocket® Yoga, paired with modern anatomical understanding for longevity, clarity, and embodied skill.
This training is designed for practitioners and teachers who want to move beyond memorizing sequences and truly understand how and why the body moves the way it does within Rocket® Yoga.

And this year brings something truly special…

I am incredibly happy and honoured to collaborate with
Dr. Trish Corley, Doctor of Physical Therapy & E-RYT 500,
who will lead the full biomechanics component of this training.

Trish is the only yoga teacher trainer in Portugal who is also a Doctor of Physical Therapy, bringing over 15 years of clinical experience and hundreds of hours of yoga teacher training expertise. As the founder of Yoga Anatomy School, and a former university professor of Functional Anatomy, she makes complex biomechanics accessible, practical, and even fun.

Her approach is designed specifically to support the demands of Rocket® Yoga.

You’ll learn:

• How the body is designed for dynamic movement;

• Injury prevention strategies for strong Rocket® sequences;

• Alignment principles rooted in functional anatomy;

• Biomechanics you can apply immediately in your practice and teaching.

Workshops with Dr. Trish (3 hours each):

1. Feet & Legs

2. Pelvis & Low Back

3. Spine & Core

4. Shoulders & Hands

This is anatomy without the overwhelm, no medical jargon, just real tools for stronger, safer, more intelligent movement within the Rocket® system.

What You’ll Learn with Lita

• Foundations & methodology of Rocket® Vinyasa;

• Intelligent sequencing & creative transitions;

• Techniques for inversions, arm balances & backbends;

• Pranayama, bandha & energetic awareness;

• Progressive Ashtanga principles;

• The art of assisting and hands-on guidance;

• Teaching labs, observation, and feedback;

• How to integrate biomechanics into your cues & instruction.

Together, these components create a training that is both deeply physical and intellectually grounded, preparing you to teach Rocket® Yoga with confidence, clarity, and authenticity.

Certification

Upon full completion, you will receive a
50 hour Yoga Alliance: recognized certification in Rocket® Vinyasa,
which counts toward continuing education or advanced RYTT programs.
