We can still connect with community during Covid times thanks to the Rocket! Photos by Leigh Vukov , Writing by Amber Jean-Marie
Finding ourselves in the middle of July and still in the time of Covid we are continuing to live in the moment. RYA has had two successful Virtual Rocket Trainings and have had students from the Netherlands, Berlin Germany, Perth Australia, Canada as well as all over the United States. We have just announced our 3rd Virtual Rocket Training! It’s been such a blessing to reach so many different types of students, all who have a passion for an amazing practice called the Rocket. The Rocket brings people together and this becomes even more clear as we have jumped into the Virtual world head on. In a time where connection with new people is defiantly more challenging than ever, with the Rocket and our Zoom classes we have continued to grow our amazing Rocket community.
These yoga relationships that I have personally formed over the past 20 years of instructing have formed a landscape that is woven in my whole being. “ The fabric of our lives “ like the yogis that I have an opportunity to connect with, the ones that I meet at all hours to practice and talk “yoga shop”, it’s an absolute a lovely way to spend your time. At the same time being online to do anything can be very demanding on your life force energy and after running two Virtual Rocket Training’s I have found that being online 3 hours a day in person is PLENTY of time online, even 2.5 hours, once you go past that I feel that everyone is getting distracted, fidgety, and overall not really fully present to absorb the teachings. Therefore during the training I will be online in person 2 - 3 hours a day. In addition to live online sessions we have some great prerecorded supportive videos that we send out thru out the training so you never feel overwhelmed with too much information, you truly can train at your own pace and we encourage that! If you are newer to Rocket you will focus more on the fundamentals and if you have more Rocket experience you will be able to move into instructing more advanced transitions and sequences.
The goal is that when Covid starts to move into the rear view mirror and we are all more free to travel is that we will be hosting a Rocket Retreat for all to come and practice together. Hang in there everyone, I will be going back online in August with “ Master Rocket “Classes as well as Bottle Rocket classes on Zoom. I am also available to answer any emails, so feel free to stay in touch and reach out! yogastudio@gmail.com
Love and Light,
Amber Jean-Marie
