50h ROCKET® YOGA TEACHER TRAINING
led by guest teacher David Cabezas Sánchez

14 - 18th of February 2024

course certified by Yoga Alliance

Whether you want to get deeper on your Rocket Yoga practice or just explore a new challenging and fun practice, this official training is perfect for you!

The Rocket® Yoga is a dynamic, energetic practice developed by Larry Schultz in the 80s. It is based on the traditional Ashtanga Yoga series. However, the difference with this style is that Rocket Yoga removes the hierarchy of postures, giving students control over their own creative process.

Rocket Yoga is divided into three series focused on promoting the development of strength and flexibility to consciously stimulate the digestive, respiratory and central nervous systems. The sequences invigorate and strengthen students with advanced postures while still staying accessible through variations and practicing acceptance of your own processes.

Join the 50h Rocket Yoga Instructor course to dive into the history, gain a solid understanding of the sequences, and strengthen or begin your inversions practice.

  • INCLUDED IN THE TRAINING

    INVERSIONS WORKSHOP
     Inversions as a part of our yoga practice help us to develop confidence as well as balance and strength. In this workshop you will gain a clear understanding of inverted asanas, applying the three key elements needed to master them: anatomy, bandas and breathing.
    In order to achieve each posture we will practice warm-ups and drills and you will also learn variations using props to help you explore the sense of balance and control.
    This workshop is a great opportunity to bring your practice to the next level and reinforce your self-confidence to include this group of asanas as part of it.

    ARM BALANCES AND TRANSITIONS WORKSHOP
    Arm balances and transitions are part of all the Rocket series, adding a new fun challenge to our practice. In this workshop we will break down the key foundations of the main arm balance postures included in Rocket yoga. We will also learn how to create the vinyasa movement combining the possible transitions between asanas with breathing techniques and bandhas activation.

    We will cover different approaches and variations for all the postures and transitions so any student, beginner or advanced can deepen their understanding and confidence to improve their yoga practice.

  • BACKBENDS WORKSHOP
    Backbends are known to be a group of asanas that many people can find challenging both physically and mentally. However, this is often the feeling when you are not approaching them properly.

    In this workshop we will work on the fundamental alignment principles and techniques to practice backbends safely. We will focus on spinal mobility and strength, going through the main asanas included in this group and integrating the role of our breath and muscles.

    The workshop is recommended for any student interested in deepening their backbend practice, since we will cover both smooth variations using props as well as more advanced versions of the asanas.

"I was born in Caracas/Venezuela and I met Hatha Yoga in 2004. Over time I began to practice continuously while combining it with other activities such as skating, capoeira Angola, surfing and music.

Passionate about group practices and social impact, I had the opportunity to learn and participate in different social and cultural movements, focused on cooperating with people who are at risk of social exclusion, drug addiction, domestic abuse, etc.. I am passionate about working for and with people.

In 2015 I was invited by Ricardo Martin to travel to Thailand and train as a teacher of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga 200 Hrs and in « The Rocket« 100 Hrs. I got certified as a 500h by Yoga International when I finished my 300Hrs Rocket Teacher Training. Then I lived in London where I practiced in Indaba Yoga Studio and thanks to Work and Change or Karma Yoga I got to know different styles of Yoga. I worked hand in hand with international teachers such as Ambra Vallo in Italy being granted with a Level 2 Advanced Teacher Training 100Hrs.

During all these years I’ve had the opportunity to teach and learn yoga around the world becoming a E-RYT 500H and YACEP provider. I am certified as a Rocket® Teacher Training provider and I give courses in Spain and around Europe.

Currently I live and work in Madrid, Spain.”
