Join me in GOA for MY next 50 Rocket training!

Hi Yogis!

I am so happy to announce that I’m returning to Goa, one of my favourite places, for another 50-hour Rocket® Yoga Teacher Training!

During these 6 days of Rocket® training, we’ll dive deep into the Rocket system, asana clinics, movement in meditation, as we experience the birthplace of Yoga, the fascinating culture of India, sweat and laugh together and bond over poolside chats, beach strolls, and communal meals!

A great opportunity to feel the strong sense of community created by this practice.

This is a special one to my heart, and I can’t wait to share this unique adventure with you.

With love,

Lita

WHAT IS ROCKET® YOGA?

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.

WHAT ARE THE ROCKET® SEQUENCES?

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.

CERTIFICATION

In this 50-hour Rocket® Yoga Teacher training, you will receive a 50-hour Yoga Alliance certification. This can be used towards the 500 hours of the "Progressive Ashtanga Yoga Professional Development Program” by Yoga Alliance.
