Ashtanga Vinyasa 'Rocket' (Teacher) Training in Brussels!
By Larry Schultz / 6 - 10 September 2010

The Rocket Designed to awaken the nervous system, and infuse it with the precious prana it craves, The Rocket promotes a spirit of change and freedom of practice. Full of back bends and spinal twists, this uplifting sequence of postures has gained global recognition as a “feel good” experience that opens the body and clears the mind.

The Rocket breaks areas of tension and energy blockage, combats tendencies toward stagnancy and resistance in the body. Frequent hand stands and arm balances keep the energy level high and encourage students to connect to their inner power and change their view of the world. The Rocket shoots your Ashtanga practice to a higher level, faster and with fun!

Specific work areas:
Back Bends – ustrasana, parsva/ shanurasana, …
Spinal Twists – bharadvajrasana, ardha matsvendrasana
Arm Balances – parsva/ bakasana, astravakrasana, pincha mayurasana
Handstands – adha mukha vrksasana

The Training: This 32-hour course is designed as an intensive immersion into the teaching techniques of Intermediate Series asanas of Ashtanga Yoga. Through fun, engaging partner and group work, participants will gain great insights and knowledge in how to modify and safely adjust their own Ashtanga practice and that of students of varying levels. It is necessary for participants to have a consistent personal practice of Ashtanga Yoga. As in all courses with Larry Schultz, you will learn with the message of yoga philosophy, light-heartedness and a passion of the practice. You do NOT need to be a teacher for this workshop. You only need a desire to enhance your own ashtanga vinyasa practice.
