Rocket Yoga is a dynamic and fast-paced style of yoga that combines traditional Ashtanga yoga with elements of creative vinyasa yoga flow. It was created by Larry Schultz, a student of Pattabhi Jois, the founder of Ashtanga yoga. Rocket Yoga is a more accessible version of the Ashtanga Vinyasa system, consisting of Sun Salutations, followed by a standing and seated sequence, and finishes with the traditional closing series. Rocket Yoga is divided into three different sequences based on the series of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. The given sequence can be altered and modified according to the practitioners level. Rocket Yoga is a fast-paced and dynamic flow supported by music, with the intent of making the practice a lot of fun. Rocket Yoga sequences are based on Ashtanga yoga, and the intensive physical processes in Ashtanga are all about pushing through mental blocks, and emotional baggage to cultivate mental clarity, mindful breathing, physical strength, flexibility, and endurance. Rocket Yoga is an attempt by Larry to make Ashtanga Yoga more accessible to western practitioners. Rocket Yoga is a simplified version of the much more difficult Ashtanga Yoga, and it includes Sun Salutations, standing and seating poses, twists, and bends. Rocket Yoga offers numerous benefits as the poses work on the hips, core, arms, wrists, shoulders, upper back, head, lungs, neck, and spine. In Rocket Yoga, students are allowed to modify or alter traditional poses which they get stuck on, allowing Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga to be more accessible to everyone.
