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
