Happy 2020 Yogis, Thank you for visiting our site, on this site you will find information on the Rocket, teacher trainings and more about me and what we offer at Rocket Yoga Academy. First of all whenever you do something bigger than yourself it can be an overwhelming task of getting organized and becoming more clear with what the vision is. Rocket Yoga Academy is the vision becoming more clear. A vision that began in the early 2000’s when I met Larry Schultz and fell in love with the Rocket practice. Much Love,
Things were much more simple back then, we didn’t have social media or smart phones. Larry Schultz’s studio was actually right next to a “cyber cafe”. People came from all over the world to take Larry’s teacher trainings. He was a forward thinker in yoga and had a vision of making as many yoga teachers as he could, and he did, he trained 1000’s and 1000’s of students from all over the world. I was one of those students. Once I got a feel for everything going on in San Francisco it was like a drug and I was addicted. I could not spend enough time with my beloved teacher and friend.
I traveled to Van Couver when he opened his first International It’s Yoga and I helped him teach there. I also traveled up to Sonoma where he moved after closing It’s Yoga San Francisco to assist him at the retreat center. I was soaking in everything Rocket and learning as much as I could from Larry to lead Yoga Teacher Training courses.
I also traveled to Toledo OH when I found out that Larry had taken ill and was preparing to take his last breath, I was shocked and even writing about it now is almost too much, because there are so many layers and so much confusion when you lose your beloved.
By being so close to Larry he granted me permission to lead all these training’s that we offer. He entrusted me to help continue his legacy and share the Rocket as it was intended to be shared as a healing approach to Ashtanga which can seem much more ridged than the fun Rocket system.
When a yoga community losses a leader as Larry Schultz who had a beautiful charisma and energy that brought so many people together for so long, the loss sends a ripple of destruction in its wake. It is a very confusing time. However thru my grief I stayed constant in my Rocket practice and continued to develop Rocket Training materials as a means of not only healing myself but helping others heal as well.
What’s so great about RYA is that we have some of the best Rocket materials available. Our training materials include lots of Larrys quotes and offer lots of information about the philosophy behind the Rocket.
RYA is all about delivering you the Rocket the way Larry would of wanted it shared. This in not corporate yoga, this is not power yoga, this is not all about handstands, even tho we do a lot of them. This is about YOU and showing YOU how to tap into the abundance of healing energy that reside with on YOU! These teaching are NOT watered down.
Check out our amazing team page of how many yogis we have already certified to teach the Rocket. This is the official site, this is the legacy, unfiltered and raw.
Once again we are doing something that is much bigger than ourselves. With that being said this is another beginning to lay out the groundwork for our Rocket Instructors to be recognized on a national and international platform of being some of the top Rocket instructors in the world. That’s what my heart believes because every training I have facilitated I personally make sure that everyone has a complete understanding of the system. Check out the list featuring how many of those students have started their own studios and have begun leading their own training’s, many many many…. it’s because we have the reputation of being the best of the best. Find out for yourself.
