Friday, April 8th 

10:00- 12:00  Rocket 2 Masterclass 

This practice will provide you with the tools to open your heart.

Based on the second series of ashtanga, we invite you to play and balance your practice with strength and backbends ‘Chest Openers’.

Open your mind to asanas that you thought weren't for you or impossible to imagine. Asanas include: Astavakrasana, Parsva Bakasana, Eka Pada Bakasana, and Kapotasana.

Come with an open heart and explore your possibilities! 

Saturday, April 9th 

12:00 – 14:00  Workshop - Backbending in the Rocket with the Dharma Wheel!! 

Often a practice with an emphasis on pushing, strength and floating can create tightness in the chest and shoulders. 

Besides muscle-bound tightness, there is our modern patterns of movement (sitting in a chair) that closes the front body. So it is very important that our yoga practice bring back balance and equanimity.

This workshop shows us the art of backbending isn't just about a flexible lumbar spine but rather a holistic approach is needed/ We will explore techniques to open the front body, hip flexors, shoulders, quads and thoracic spine will be unlocked.

One of modern yogas greatest gifts is the dharma wheel !

We will use this as one of the keys ‘an effective and superior tool to open your heart’.

We will talk about what happens to the psyche when we allow the defense mechanism our body adapts to in modern stress to release and let go with patience, technique and intelligent offerings. 

Asanas explored: Scapula Activation, Shoulder Strengthening techniques, Shoulder openers, Hollow Backs, Urdhva Dhanurasana, Scorpion Pincha, etc. 

**Dharma Wheel needed

***Open to All Levels!

16:00-18:00  Masterclass –  A Special Edition Rocket Master class: Rocket 3- Happy Hour  

A long,  challenging and fun class in which Leon will take students through the  Rocket 3 sequence. 

This strong and invigorating practice is a perfect blend of strength and flexibility, drawing elements from the 2nd and 3rd series of Ashtanga, there are many arm-balances and strengthening drills that  warm  the body for deep backbends and heart openers. Prepare to sweat and take your practice to another dimension!
