Rocket 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" We practice Rocket in three set sequences that begin to become fluid with practice. Practicing in set sequences allows you to uncover a depth of practice. Rocket is a fun and creative branch of Ashtanga Yoga.
We offer both 60 and 90 minute Rocket classes. |

Ashtanga Vinaysa
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 and range of motion by focusing on deep forward folds and hip openers. Mysore Ashtanga Join for our Mysore mornings! This is the traditional way to learn the Ashtanga System, named after Mysore India, where the practice originated. Students receive one on one instruction within the group. Arrive anytime with opening chant at 6:00 am. This class is not LED by an instructor which allows your instructors to help each student. Open Practice Inspired by Mysore Style practice, this studio space is open for you to come in and do YOUR practice! Anything you want it be on a given day. An instructor is present to answer any questions, assist you and support you in your practice.

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. |
