"it was when i stopped searching for home within others
and lifted the foundations of home within myself
i found there were no roots more intimate
than those between a mind and body
that have decided to be whole"

ROCKET YOGA IMMERSION
9.0
Saturday 5th October
12:30-2:45pm
@ Out of the Blue Drill Hall, Leith
£35
These workshops are proving to be incredibly popular, we are so happy to see the Edinburgh Rocket community growing so fast!
Join myself and Benji Pérez Salinas for a fun and dynamic 2 hour 15 minute Rocket Flow, where together we’ll build the confidence and stability to get on your hands and go upside down, and all the transitions in between!
​
The Rocket sequences are a series of postures based on a modification of the Ashtanga primary and intermediate series. This uplifting routine is designed to wake up the nervous system and help you to find a spirit of change and freedom in the practice. We will warm up through the Sun Salutations, play with the Standing and Seated postures, and guide you into a restorative Closing.
​
In this workshop we work on linking breath with movement, and build on dynamic and strengthening postures. You will get the opportunity to try it all - think arm balances, inversions and backbends - all under the watchful eyes of not one but two teachers who adore this style of movement.
​
Expect some glorious hands on assists to help you find a deeper sense of steadiness and comfort in the postures.
​
All-levels are welcome. The only requirement is to embrace the challenge and have fun on the mat - so get ready to laugh, sweat and fly!
​
Stay after for a community group lunch too (venue TBC).
