Join Maryna Bodenham on 27 October at Hot yoga Stellenbosch 2-4pm for a Rocket Yoga workshop.

Rocket yoga “gets you there faster”.
Created by Larry Shultz (aka “the bad man of the Ashtanga yoga”) in 1989, this method became increasingly popular in the Western world. The style is based on three first series of Ashtanga yoga, and is made accessible to practitioners of all levels. Just like Ashtanga yoga, Rocket sequence helps balance the nervous system, purify the body and steady the mind.

But these are by far not the only benefits of Rocket Yoga. Just like Ashtanga, Rocket yoga tends to be more vigorous in its flow than other styles, and therefore provides a bit more cardiovascular exercise. The style doesn’t only increase mobility and flexibility, but also improves strength and stamina. It also teaches a set of incredibly fun skills, from arm balances and handstands to floaty transitions between the poses. It helps practitioners discover their own physical and mental abilities.

Rocket yoga style is a way to experience the magic of traditional style, in a safe and playful way without the limitations of the asana hierarchy as taught traditionally in the Ashtanga method.
