This is the sequence that follow a modified 2nd series with Advanced A & B Postures added in as transitions between the base line of postures that any Ashtangi would recognize as a half 2nd series. There is no strict attitude or restrictions on what a student needs to find comfort within themselves.Īnother series is the Rocket 2. This is a beginners version of primary series where students are allow to remove postures of difficulty like half lotus postures and intense flexibility postures like supta Kurmasana: Binds are also modified with straps and blocks can be used as well. Its is the revision of the standing series of traditional ashtanga with a "Modified Primary Series" placed onto the end of the standing asana. All levels enjoy this practice and flow.Īnother series is the Mixed Levels class that is often referred to Rocket I as well. This is a short series that is mainly standing series asana with only a few seated poses depending on the students capability. So there is nothing really new about it at all:) But it sure is a jolt to the bodies vital energies and it creates a spike in the nervous system that is good for people who are feeling drained from work or stress from family or social responsibilities. Very different from the traditional right/left practice, but those who have studied will recognize this as a method taught by Krishnamacharya himself. Simply referred to as "MDR" or "minimum daily requirements" students are encouraged to take on a daily practice that consists of Sun Salutation A and B followed by a short seated meditation and rest.Īnother series in the Rocket System created by Larry Schultz is the Rocket 1 series which is an all level series that rearranges the Standing Primary Series asana into a very clever flow of postures that keeps the transitions all on one side before shifting to the left side. The first sequence of postures is nothing new at all in practice.
Larry teaching David in Puerto Rico for a demoįirst of all its good to make sure people know that the Rocket System is split into almost 6 different Routines which is placed in a manor to allow access to the super beginner and those who feel as though they are not flexible enough or strong enough to begin a vinyasa practice. How can the Rocket do this!? its simple science really. A place where we can breath in our spirit and cause the rapture of life to be present within us at all times. It was a practice Larry created while on tour with the Grateful Dead, but I think it would be best to stick to directly what the Rocket Sequences provide and how they effect the mind/body.įor general information you should visit the It's Yoga International site Also how does the Rocket Yoga practice draw us into a state of inspiration. I could use this blog to copy paste what you would find on any web page about how the Rocket is a derivative of the 1st, 2nd, and Advanced series of traditional Asthanga Yoga and its know as a invigorating feel good series that bring vitality and health to the practitioner. We never really worked until after noon and always used the morning to practice and take walks in the park to talk about what we were going to do the for day and chat about the yoga world and what it was becoming. Once in the morning and once in the afternoon. We also had slamming classes at 4:30pm everyday so we usually did 2 practices a day. Early practice was important to Larry and integral to the practice. He was always awake around 4am.kicking me out of bed early to practice silent morning prayer through our asana. Larry spent many years practicing the mysore method and with my time with him it seemed to stick. Rocket Yoga is an Ashtanga Yoga System created by Larry Schultz from San Francisco who was a dedicated student of Pattabhi Jois and always mentioned to me teachers like Danny Paradise and David Williams as his teachers along with Pattabhi. This practice can be deeper and more illusive than the traditional Ashtanga Yoga practice itself! And yes! Rocket Yoga is an Ashtanga Yoga System ) Let the process begin. If you have done a few classes and "think" you have it figured out then guess again! Whether you have just heard about it or noticed the buzz building over the past 10+ years its only a matter of time before it is in your neighborhood! Maybe you have practiced the class before and you know what you think about it or maybe you have never even done a class but still have an opinion on the name itself. Rocket Yoga, Rocket Vinyasa Yoga, The Rocket, Rocket 1,2,3? With this style running up the popularity ladder that are a lot of people who are left asking simply.
