Experience the benefits of Rocket Yoga

Feb 14, 2022 PLAY

A growing number of people are already familiar with the positive influence of yoga on mind, body and soul, and in a region such as the Costa del Sol, with its pleasant year-round climate and myriad of potential exercising venues, groups can be seen practising in gyms, private homes, on terraces, beaches, Zen-like garden structures and even out in nature.

 

The best known and most commonly followed version here and abroad is Ashtanga Yoga, but Rocket Yoga is a fast-paced and dynamic version that is similar in structure but even more effective and rapidly gaining in popularity. At its heart, it consists of Surya Namaskar, including standing and seated poses, twists and bends, but with an accelerated flow.

 

The three phases of Rocket Yoga

Rocket I is in many ways similar to the primary series of Ashtanga Yoga, focusing as it does on hip openers, forward bends and the development of core strength. However, it also includes special arm balances and inversions that add a further dimension to body fluidity, balance and concentration.

 

Rocket II is likewise a modification of the second series of Ashtanga Yoga, concentrating on backbend techniques and spinal twists done from the seated poses of the Ashtanga intermediate series. It is an excellent development onwards from Rocket I.

 

The culmination of Rocket I and Rocket II is Rocket III, which brings together all the twists, bends and balances learned in the previous two series to help develop body strength and achieve optimal flexibility and suppleness.
