Join Taylor Johnson and Jesse Seymour for this inspiring dive into the Rocket Yoga system. Originally created as an approachable and inclusive introduction to Ashtanga Yoga, the "Rocket" has evolved into a playful, empowering, and community oriented practice enjoyed worldwide.
This all levels immersion will be rich in Asana practice as we explore Rocket 1, 2, and 3, traditional sequences based off of the Primary and Secondary Ashtanga series.
All components offered in this exciting weekend immersion will remain within the timeless principles of the eight limbed path and "Tristana", 3 pillars of the practice emphasizing:
Ujjayi breath (with sound)
Bandha (vital energy lock)
Drishti (gaze, point of focus)
Exploration of inversion techniques (headstand, forearm stand, handstand/press)
Informed deep back bending
Arm balances, creative standing balance
Explore Rocket 1, 2, and 3, traditional sequences

Taylor has been a student of yoga for most of her life, but began practicing daily 13 years ago and has been a teacher for almost 10. Throughout this time she has fallen in love with all of the multifaceted layers that yoga has to offer. She is trained in 2,000+ hours of varying styles of yoga and fitness that all uniquely influence her teaching style and energy in class. When practicing with Taylor expect to be challenged to step into your inherent badassery, find your edge with playful energy, all while honoring your inner guide. While the asana (physical postures) have so much impact in the practice, the deeper understanding of oneself and the connection we all share is one of the most powerful gems yoga has to offer. This is what continues to bring Taylor back to her mat time and time again and something she hopes for all of her students to experience.
Jesse is an E-RYT 500 and has been practicing yoga and meditation for over 15 years. He has a special kinship with the living spirit of Yoga and its many limbs. He teaches Vinyasa, Yin Yoga, Progressive Ashtanga (Rocket), and Hot Yoga. For Jesse, yoga is a sacred sanctuary to connect to oneself, nature, the elements, and to the mystic union of breath, Asana, and movement. It is through this discovery that Jesse has devoted himself to sharing his love and passion for yoga with others. To truly inspire transformation, as well as an alchemical uncovering of our natural state… Empowerment, well-being, and grace.
SOL 19 Yoga has an unmatched variety of classes led by highly trained teachers. From all levels to power vinyasa flows to multiple styles of fitness classes, including barre and strength-style classes, to restorative classes like breathwork + sound healing, we have something for everyone.
