During these 7 days of Rocket® YTT, we're diving into practice, learning, sweating, laughing, and bonding over poolside chats, beach strolls, and communal meals! A great opportunity to feel the strong sense of community created by this practice. This YTT in Rocket®, also known as Progressive Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, specializes in the sequences created by Larry Schultz (a long-time student of the founder of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, K. Pattabhi Jois) with the traditional Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga system as a base. These systems have deep similarities but obvious differences, and the combination of both will allow students to enhance their opportunity for further growth and deepen their practices, demystifying the boundaries created by some progression limits of the traditional Ashtanga practice.
I haven't met Larry in person, but I deeply sense his legacy by experiencing this method, and also by savoring all the insights and inspiring stories shared by David Kyle, my teacher, who was a close student and practiced with Larry extensively.
We will cover the series of Rocket® I, Rocket® II, and Rocket® III. These series were developed by combining key postures of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th series of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga.
The vast majority of this training is focused on increasing the student's ability to progress into the postures of the series through the valuable modifications, strengthening techniques, and drills offered by Larry Schultz and David Kyle’s teachings, as well as the philosophical approach to the practice as a lifestyle.
As a 50-hour Rocket® YTT program, you will receive a 50-hour certification that can be used in the Yoga Alliance's continuous training towards 500 hours of the "Progressive Ashtanga Yoga Professional Development Program”.
In collaboration with the Progressive Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga School, we will bring the Rocket® spirit to Goa!
