New Mexico Land of Manyana
On May 18th, 2017 Rocket Yogis gathered in around the home of the of Nasa White Sands Test Facility in Las Cruces New Mexico. Somehow it seemed fitting that The Rocket would take off in a land where you see old rocket ships sticking out of the sand, rockets on bill boards and even on restaurant menus. Rockets are everywhere in this region of the southwest, one hour north of El Paso and the Mexican border, six hours south of the Colorado border, four hours from Santa Fay or six hours from Albuquerque, in the land of the old Native American tribes, 16 rocket yogis descended for a 5 day Rocket Training with yours truly.
When I first heard that there was a Rocket buzz going on in New Mexico and got invited out, as with any training or new place, I had no idea what to expect. Upon arriving I felt a warm welcome from Holly Rae who is local NM yoga pioneer and Jane a new studio owner who hosted the training and assisted with promotions. I was reminded how it truly takes a village to launch a Rocket Training, from the initial planning, finding a location, promotions, and in between getting everyone registered, as well as finding my accommodations and organizing my travel plans. With that being said I was delighted and honored with the whole experience.
What I love the most about Rocket Training’s is the amazing students that come out of the wood work for the Rocket. I believe everyone who was in attendance would agree of the powerful transformative affect The Rocket has when you practice it in a group setting with other practitioners that are supportive and nurturing to the whole experience. Everyone was so present during the training and willing to work thru their challenges on and off the mat. Like Larry said “ in the beginning the Rocket appears to be all physical but as you practice you realize it’s about the healing work we all need to do when we look within.”
We had the magic of the Rocket with us on this training, the sense of the unknown and the infinite connection to space, as well as a deep connection to each other. We seriously ate lunch and dinner together everyday, just going from Rocket training into street cloths like we have a secret that no one knows, and it’s the Rocket!! Thank you Larry Schultz and thank you New Mexico, look forward to seeing where the Rocket will take me next and I especially look forward to watching all the rocket trainers turn into ROCK STARS!!
Love Amber Gean
