ROOTS x SATURDAY SPECIAL: The Rocket I Masterclass Highlight mit Kim

The Rocket is a dynamic practice, created by Larry Schultz, based on the Ashtanga series but changed and adapted to be more free, playful and progressive.

In this Rocket I Masterclass, we will take a moment to explore the history of The Rocket before we move into the sequence. We will then practice the full Rocket I sequence and take time to explore some fun and creative transitions. 

We move through traditional Surya Namaskar, and then focus on standing balance poses (like Virabhadrasana III or Garudasana), standing forward folds, (such as the Prasarita Sequence and Parsvottanasana), as well as seated forward folds (such as Janu Sirsasana and Paschimottanasana). As always in The Rocket, there will also be opportunities to practice arm balances (Bakasana and Eka Pada Bakasana, for example), as well as play around with active inversions (Pincha Mayurasana and Adho Mukha Vrksasana). 

In addition to the Rocket sequence, we will practice Pranayama (Breathing Exercises). To prepare for the class, we will practice an uplifting, energising Pranayama (Kappalabhati) and end the class with a calming, grounding Pranayama (Nadi Shodhana, Box Breathing). 

This Masterclass is suited for anyone with some yoga experience that is looking to deepen their understanding of The Rocket, as well as those who wish to move through a complete and holistic experience with plenty of time to deep dive into breath, movement, and stillness.
