I chat with one of my go-to yoga teachers today, Rocky Heron. I found Rocky right after the pandemic hit in 2020. I instantly gravitated towards his approach to asana & movement. I found his classes to be well-structured, playful, mindful & authentic. Even before the podcast was born, I knew I’d have him on someday to chat about his approach. 

Critical thinking is an inseparable part of yoga. Moreso nowadays. Even in our asana.  The physical practice has become the doorway through which millions find their way to yoga nowadays. While it is by no means is the all of yoga. Rocky humor my asana-related questions.

Throughout this interview, you’ll notice he takes my simple questions and spins the answers into a thoughtful, structured, compassionate way while acknowledging how the physical realm of experience is hard to contain with this or that questions. Every person is different. Every experience is unique. 

We explore questions like…

•  What is an effective asana practice? 
• Is there anything problematic in the way we move in yoga?
• What should yoga teachers do other than yoga? 
• Role of regressions & progressions when applied thoughtfully 
• The role of Yoga Drills 
• Yoga Sequencing 

And much more…Rocky is a featured teacher on Yoga International & a host of other platforms. Having dabbled in almost every style of yoga, Rocky has developed an uncanny wisdom to teaching yoga. He has a keen sense of anatomy & alignment that he leverages often in his classes. Having taught all over the world, Rocky is also a musician as well as a yoga teacher.
