The Rocket is such an amazing practice. I just love how it makes you stronger than you ever could imagine. But it wasn’t love at first.
I have only really been doing yoga for about four five years and I am still a very humble beginner (sometimes my ego will think otherwise, but that is quickly taken out of me when I’m falling flat out of a pose or similar:-)).
So how did my yoga journey start? I really fell in love with yoga when I found the dynamic practice of Ashtanga yoga, before that I had tried different types of yoga but it never stuck. I started my practicing two or three times a week but I wanted to progress further in my yoga so I started thinking about doing a yoga teacher training, but didn’t know if I was “good enough” (being a yoga teacher wasn’t even on my mind). And on top of that I have never been an athletic person and I am definitely not a natural flexible person. But after a lot of consideration, I decided to go for it, and I signed up for an Ashtanga vinyasa teacher training. Just to give you a hint about where I was in my yoga practice, I couldn’t even do a full sun salutation B without wanting to rest in childs pose during downward dog, wheel pose was impossible and definitely no headstands.
Little did I know that the yoga studio where I decided to take my teacher training was focused on The Rocket system developed by Larry Schultz (I had never visited the studio before my first day of my teacher training), and in order to be certified you had to, among other things, participate in a number of classes and that meant I had to take these "Rocket" classes. I still remember my first Rocket class, and how I actually cried when I left, thinking I would never make it through this teacher training. But after awhile I sort of fell in love with the Rocket, because I could see how it made me stronger, it made me be able to do things I never thought I ever ever would be able to do.
Within one year from completing my first 200h teacher training I ended up doing my first rocket teacher training in Sweden, but I still felt that I wanted to immerse myself more in the Rocket system. It was then that I found Yoga ah studio and my rocket guru Amber Gean. So in 2016 I headed of to Cincinnati for 100h Rocket teacher training. "
Yoga has shown me how to slow down, find greater balance and develop a sense of gratitude for all that I can do, and most of all not to take life (or myself) to serious. Today I combine my office work with teaching yoga and I love to spread the Rocket teachings.
To quote Larry Schultz “You are stronger than you think you are”
Love & light!
