style of yoga is rooted in traditional ashtanga but allows for more
freedom of movement based on individual anatomy and fosters
empowerment through creativity, endurance, and rhythm.

the beauty and benefits of Rocket yoga—from its history and
philosophy to the sequences and practices unique to its style.

for your practice, covering aspects of yoga such as drishtis,
bandhas, breathing techniques, and mudras. Then explore the asana
library, packed with hundreds of stunning color photographs and
detailed instructions for more than 90 poses, consisting of
standing, seated, inversion, and rest postures. Nearly every pose
includes modifications to adapt the movements to your body—making

traditional ashtanga series before adding a new dimension to your
practice with five Rocket yoga series. Each Rocket yoga series has
guiding photo sequences and a targeted focus: Rocket I: hip
openers, forward bends, and core strengthening exercises Rocket II:
backbends, spinal twists, arm balances, and inversions Rocket arms
and Rocket legs: poses that build strength and endurance Rocket
III: expansion of Rocket I and Rocket II, with twists, forward
folds, and balances added Beyond the sequences, you’ll find
additional activities and suggestions for customizing your
practice, as well as teaching tips especially for yoga instructors.

as the poses. The poses work on every part of the body, making

and flexibility; and stimulating increased consciousness. With
