Rocket® Yoga
Teacher Training
Training Overview
This 50-hour continuing education training is for teachers and practitioners looking to deepen their practice and understanding of the Rocket® Yoga system.
Rocket® is an energetic and dynamic practice developed by Larry Schultz in the 80s while touring as the yoga teacher for The Grateful Dead. In true Larry fashion, Rocket® was created as a remix on Ashtanga Yoga that removes the hierarchy of postures, giving students control over their own practice and process. Without the parameters of Ashtanga Yoga’s traditional “rules” within the practice, Rocket® exists as a fluid dance of creativity, expression, and accessibility within the Ashtanga tradition. In Larry’s famous words: “No bind? No problem!”. Rocket is a practice for any level of practitioner.
The sequences invigorate and strengthen students with advanced postures while still staying accessible through variations and practicing acceptance of where you are. Dive into the history of Rocket®, gain a solid understanding of the sequences, strengthen or begin your inversion practice, and practice teaching the sequences.
This training is a 300-hour Yoga Teacher Training module. You do not need to be enrolled in our 300-hour program to take this training. This is a level 1 Rocket® teacher training.
