Rocket Masterclass with Anna Favager

Rocket Yoga was founded by Larry Schultz who was a student of Pattabhi Jois'. Larry took the Ashtanga Primary series and made some of the more challenging postures more accessible for students. Larry came up with "The Rocket" practice which is playful and energizing and accessible for all - it's an amazing, uplifting practice where "everyone gets to do what they want".

Join Anna for this two hour masterclass, she will take the sequence of Rocket 1 and break down some of the more challenging postures and transitions. Using some of Larry's "rebel yoga" energy to have fun, play with arm balances, inversions and transitions and explore the practice as a whole.

The workshop is suitable for everyone, we will use the session to build the foundations of the practice - thinking of it as a place to learn to ground before learning to fly! The emphasis will be on cultivating ujjayi breath, strength building, increasing flexibility, bandhas and building confidence in your practice.

We open with Pranayama then move through sun salutations then the standing and seated sequences which include inversions (optional) and backbends - we will look at how to advance and how to modify the practice for different bodies.

The session will close with a restorative Nidra practice to ground.
