Rising: Rocket I
A fast-paced and dynamic sequence, Bottle (or Rocket 1) combines and restructures poses from the Primary and Intermediate Ashtanga series. Sometimes called the “progressive” Ashtanga, if Ashtanga is the “scale,” Rocket is the jazz. The practice is deepened through an emphasis on breath count, movement, and alignment. Foundational poses are emphasized as preparation for peak postures including arm balances and inversions.
Rocket is divided into Rocket I (Bottle), Rocket II, and Rocket III, each of which take the traditional primary and intermediate Ashtanga series, and focus on targeted body strength and flexibility. The three series total 142 poses. Sweat and hard work are expected, and meditation comes easily at the end!
Rocket I: based on a Modified Primary Series
Rocket II: based on the Intermediate series
Rocket III: (aka "Happy Hour") combines the seated Rocket I and Rocket II
The room is heated for Rocket classes.
