If you're curious about Rocket Yoga: what it is, where it came from, what it feels like, or how to become a Rocket teacher, this one is for you. Maybe you've already fallen in love with the practice, or maybe you're wondering what it’s all about. In this episode we dive into what I've come to understand about the world of Rocket: the history, the sequence, the community, and lessons from my own teachers. 

In the words of Larry Schultz (founder of the Rocket practice): "Rocket is designed to wake up the nervous system and feed it the precious prana it craves while promoting a spirit of change and freedom in the practice."
