Ashtanga Yoga Training by Larry Schultz

The Power of Vinyasa Yoga
This class will focus on creating greater awareness and strength in the legs, shoulders, and core. Breathe, sweat, stretch and relax. Larry will teach his mixed levels class which combines his sequence, the Rocket 1, which takes the standing poses of the Ashtanga Primary Series and re-sequences them to challenge the body in new and interesting ways. The floor sequence will also vary as he will add in poses and different ways to approach vinyasa designed to help open and strengthen the shoulders, hips, etc.

The Rocket Intensive
(Practice + discussion & Q & A)
Larry Schultz created the Rocket routine (click here to see a video of students in the Rocket Class), a series of postures based on a modification of the traditional Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga intermediate series, to renew energy and vitality in the body. This vibrant routine is called the "Rocket" because, "it gets you there faster." The Rocket is designed to wake up the nervous system and feed it the precious prana it craves while promoting a spirit of change and freedom in the practice. What makes the Rocket unique? Full of back bending and spinal twisting, this uplifting sequence of postures has gained global recognition as a feel-good experience which opens the body and clears the mind. The Rocket breaks through areas of tension and energy blockage, combating tendencies towards stagnancy and resistance in the body. Frequent hand stands and arm balances keep the energy level high and encourage students to connect to their inner power and change their world view. The playful and upbeat Rocket routine is the perfect counter to the soothing forward bending of the Primary Series. This workshop will be a full Rocket practice plus discussion and time for questions and answers. this routine creates an energy peak in the cyclic rhythms of the practice.
