Real Talk!! What it means to be a rocket yogi, practitioner and facilitator...

Real talk!

Let’s talk about what it means to be a rocket instructor, practitioner or trainer. The rocket was never meant to be an exclusive practice operated by one organization. I have been personally practicing and teaching rocket for 22 years! Way before any trademark claims. Anyone who is serious about practicing rocket should seek out to study with Larrys direct students. Each one of Larrys students have different pearls of rocket wisdom to share. Me personally, being one of the oldest students to offer rocket, I have taken 100’s of classes from Larry Schultz and assisted him in trainings for over a decade.

My pearls are that I facilitate old school rocket, as well as use *Schultz Training Techniques in my trainings. I understand that yoga evolves organically to meet the needs of the students and that’s why I developed *Bottle Rockets

Rocket is a COMMUNITY of many teachers and many students, my dream is to carry the rocket legacy as Larry Schultz would of wanted. Through the trainings, the classes and stories Larry lives. If you cut out part of the story or limit yourself to one way of rocket you are limiting your own potential to grow and develop.

For the past 22 years I have dedicated my life to the rocket every day, through my writing, developing a solid rocket training, and teaching to the masses. This has been a labor of 💕 love .

I am reaching out for support for my upcoming visit to London where I’ll be offering 8 days of in person rocket classes, workshops and trainings. Art of Sequencing Workshop with Amme and Amber Jean-Marie

Let’s do this everyone! Share, support, register, these trainings in Shoreditch may become part of a legacy that YOU want to be a part of and possible my most important work to date. Lots of love 🌈🌈🌈 and remember we are a COMMUNITY AND ALLIANCE that supports ALL rocket yogis and new yogis regardless of your background. This is INCLUSIVE #rocketyoga #rocketyogalondon

Rocket Yoga London 2021

The It’s Yoga Royal Family

May the circle be unbroken by and by lord by and by…..

Amme Poulton and I are the oldest women students that trained directly with Larry Schultz we have a combined experiences over 40 years in the Schultz Rocket System. The circle continues with us and these valuable trainings and to the students we share the Rocket!

Larry Schultz had this amazing quality to bring people together, we would joke about our float ups into handstands and arm balances and give them a mystical quality that we attributed to Larry because when Larry entered the room he lightened the atmosphere. Larry could defuse situations with simple words and make us all look inside ourselves more deeply. Often after our teachers training was complete we would want to stay in San Fransisco to be close to Larry and the yoga, this was how the Royal family came to be. Amme and I were a part of this Royal yoga family and for whatever reason our loyalty was unbroken over the years which turned into decades. So Amme and I knew of each other and walked the temple walls sharing in the same breath in the yoga practices, going to the same yoga parties and sharing the same love for Larry, however we never spoke until just recently in this past year. I knew Amme was in London and she had heard of me too and time did a funny thing and brought us back together almost 20 years later. Thats pretty much how it happened and before I knew it I was on a plane heading to England to facilitate a 5 day Rocket Training at Tri Yoga, one of the oldest schools in London and Amme was going to be my host and assistant. I have to laugh to myself when I think of the owner Jhonathan asking us over lunch how long we knew each other and we both smiled and said this is actually the first time we met but we have KNOWN of each other for two decades! That is the crazyest thing about the Royal family is that if you are in it, there is an unspoken trust and alliance within Larry’s students. 

This was the 2nd Larry Schultz approved Rocket Training that was run by all women in London. The first time was in 2018, also facilitated by me. 

What happened over the 5 days is all part of the formality of Rocket Training. For me what I loved about London the most is the caliber of students who take practicing yoga very seriously and schedule their life around it. I loved all the students who took the course and formed what I hope to be life long relationships. We had lots of exotic places represented, like Maldives and Malita. We shared a lot of laughs and a lot of breaths. England feels like my second home and I am looking forward to returning. It was a true Rocket blessing to be back working with the Royal family and I am always amazed about how powerful this practice is…. just keep doing the yoga everyone and everything will sort itself. Much Rocket Love, Amber Jean-Marie 



Why Laboring Woman Don’t Need Support

Why Laboring Woman Don’t Need Support

Yes I wrote the correctly and please continue to read, ( this is not an article about pregnancy, that is just the metaphor)
After I had been instructing Ashtanga for sometime I went to Yogaville which is an ashram that was started by Swami Satchidananda in the 70’s and it offered a two week, live in program for prenatal teacher training. During these two weeks I lived at the ashram with my mother who cared for my two year old son and I was pregnant with my second and felt it was the perfect time to take a prenatal course.

When I received my manual there was an article titled, Why Laboring Woman Don’t Need Support, and I was immediately so confused. What? I thought to myself, because all I ever heard is how you will need a midwife or a doctor and maybe a doula and or a support person. This article really got me thinking and has stayed with me for the past 17 years. 

Basically it talked about how woman have been giving birth for centuries and we know naturally what to do. Instincts that we have been born with take over, like how the mother of buddha walked into the woods and held the branches of the sacred Bodhi  Tree and gave birth to the Buddha, alone with no-one else around. 

As a spiritual thinker and practioner I often think about this phrase during my life when I feel alone, and the moments when I am by myself, the moments I feel a longing for support or a longing for someone I can’t see. I come back to this phrase over and over again as a way to remind myself that all the tools I need in this lifetime are hidden deep within me and if I am quiet and alone these tools or instincts are forced to come out. Making us be able to feel our intuition more strongly and feel everything we don’t see.

Larry Schultz discusses this concept with his philosophy Nauliland, which is basically a place in our hearts were true yoga resides and encourages us to sit with our feelings and not be consumed with all the outside influences that cloud our judgement and our mind.

I thought I would share this because I know many of us have moments where we feel alone, lost, searching, looking for answers outside ourself, unsure of what to do and what decisions to make. Be reassured that all the answers you seek reside within. 

Change is the only constant, allow things to change and shift, allow yourself to feel alone and lost, allow yourself to feel confused and unsure, allow yourself to feel pain and hurt but most important give yourself proper time to process your feelings that’s how the healing begins.

I am a believer that God does not give you more than you can handle and YOU can do it, you can get out of the ‘funk” and move into expansion. You must trust yourself and your deepest instincts. All you need is you, beautiful YOU made in the image of perfection. “Only in the calmest of minds, the truth is revealed to us” LS. 

Namaste,

Amber Jean-Marie
