AN ALL-LEVELS SERIES OF MEDITATION, MINDFULNESS, AND BREATH WORK. The start of a new year is the perfect time to come back to yourself and to begin again. By the end of the month, you’ll have a greater understanding of the foundations of mindfulness and which tools are best for you. Each class will include a brief overview / lecture of the topic at hand, guided breath work, guided meditations, journaling and periods of silence. This is not a movement-focused series, yet there may be some meditative movements and releases shared throughout. Suitable for all practitioners. (Note – you will not sit still in meditation for the entire hour!) Bring a notebook, pen and anything that helps you feel comfortable for meditation.

Why Rocket?
Because it gets you there faster
Developed by Larry Schultz, Rocket Yoga is rooted in the practice of Ashtanga Vinyasa. Rocket is a dynamic, fast-paced flow, playing off the five series of Ashtanga Yoga in a unique, accessible way.
ROCKET 1 reflects the primary series of Ashtanga Yoga, focusing on hip openers, forward bends, and developing core strength. It also introduces you to special Rocket arm balances and inversion postures.
ROCKET 2 focuses on backbend techniques and seated spinal twists. This is a modified version of Ashtanga Yoga’s second series.
Flow Yoga
Experience an intelligent, flowing sequence that will lead your mind and body to open, strengthen, release, and relax. Postures and transitions are taught in layers, with a focus on finding form in movement and supporting it with breath. You are always free to explore the version of any pose or cycle of poses that best serves you at any given moment.
