Rocket Vinyasa Yoga
Rocket Yoga was founded by the late Larry Schultz as a way to make Ashtanga accessible to the west. He created the 3 beloved Rocket sequences we know today while on tour with the Grateful Dead. Bob Weir coined it the Rocket because "it gets you there faster"
  • Rocket 1 is based in primary series Ashtanga and focuses on forward folds.
  • Rocket 2, is based in secondary series Ashtanga with a focus on back bending.
  • Rocket 3 is a combination of one and two.
 Each class contains the opportunity for flight with inversions and arm balances. We often include mini in class workshops to help you in these poses. Rocket is a system of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, which our Rocket teachers all practice as well. Like Ashtanga we focus on Tristana (our breath, bandhas and drishti), creating a purifying internal heat, building strength and flexibility yet balancing the nervous system. While energetic, Rocket is also slow with breath counts and allows space for moving meditation. With practice we begin to move with ease, fluid like an ocean wave. This practice is truly transformative. 
Inversion Play 
This specialty class will help you progress in your headstands, forearm stands and handstands. We focus on core and compression drills, handstand drills, and a lot of fun.

Ashtanga Inspired 
Ashtanga Yoga is a system of 6 set series, each progressing upon the previous. Ashtanga is the mother of all flow styles seen today. It is known as the 8 limb path of yoga. 
Beginning with Primary series, known as yoga chikitsa, or yoga therapy. When we develop a consistent practice in Ashtanga we begin to purify the body, organs and lymphatic system. We build strength, increase flexibility, focusing on deep forward folds and hip openers.
We focus deeply on tristana (breath, bandhas and drishti) and start to balance our nervous system, creating a cleansing heat from the inside out. 
We offer Mysore style, when is an open practice time for self practice. Our teacher will teach you primary series pose by pose, breath by breath. We have Ashtanga Sheets to use. We also offer LED classes and Modified Primary Series, which is more theraputic. ​

 Vinyasa Yoga 
Modern Vinyasa Flow is also born out of the Ashtanga Vinyasa System.
Vinyasa sequences are crafted with care by teachers using intelligent sequencing. Each class is unique and specific the individual teacher. 
Vinyasa means, to place in a special way and like Ashtanga, Rocket and Power yoga, Vinyasa links breath to movement. To take a vinyasa class means you will link poses with a vinyasa, which is moving through chaturanga (low push up) up dog and down dog, creating a class that moves, breathes and flows. ​
We have Vinyasa classes including Gentle Vinyasa, Slow Flow and Movement and Meditation.

        Yin and Restorative 
  These are the lunar side to yoga practice.
Yin is based in meridian theory, moving stagnant energy though our energy channels, releasing emotion. Yin uses long holds of active stretching of 5-7 minutes to release the fascia. 
Restorative yoga works on the nervous system and releasing deep tension in the body with passive stretching. 
Both use many props so please bring you own.
