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.

Biomechanics with Dr. Trish Corley, DPT
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 :
Feet & Legs
Pelvis & Low Back
Spine & Core
Shoulders & Hands
This is anatomy without the overwhelm, no medical jargon, just real tools for stronger, safer, more intelligent movement within the Rocket® system.

Intelligent sequencing & creative transitions;

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.
