Ashtanga Yoga As Taught By Shri K. Pattabhi Jois by Larry Schultz

The basics of ashtanga yoga cannot be learned enough. Because yoga practice is progressive it is important to go through this manual, Ashtanga Yoga As Taught By Shri K Pattabhi Jois, in the order it is presented. However, if you are having difficulty with any of the postures go back to the beginning. Keep in mind that the true source of understanding is in the basic principals underlying the asanas. Take your time and learn the fundamentals of the practice. Go slowly. Never force or push yourself into a posture, be patient, and all will come in time.What’s the rush?

It's Yoga Rocket Vinyasa Yoga

What is the Rocket?

 Rocket I 

 
Every rocket sequence is made up of 4 parts. Starting with traditional ashtanga suryanamskaras, the sequence moves onto a original standing sequence, full of standard standing poses as well as arm balances to build strength and protect joints. On the floor, yogis will recognize the sequence as being a modification of the seated primary series. The series finishes off with the tradional ashtanga finishing series.

 Rocket II

Building on the same standing series as Rocket I, Rocket II diverges when it comes to the seated series. Based on the back bending sequence of the seated intermediate series of ashtanga, this sequence complements the forward folds of Rocket I, laying the foundations of building a strong practice.

Rocket III

Designed as a way to finish off the week, this sequence is a combination of both Rocket I and Rocket II. Combining the twisted and folds into a dynamic sequence designed to build strenght and flexibility.
