Rocket and Yin

Rocket and Yin Overview

This experience is brought to you by two teachers, directly mentored and trained by Rocket Yoga pioneer Larry Schultz and Yin Yoga founder Paul Grilley, offering you direct transmission of authentic teachings of philosophy and practice.

Essentially this course will develop your yang practice, through the classic three practices of Rocket Yoga, supported by deep Yin Yoga experiences, allowing for new possibilities of energetic flow, flexibility and inner awareness.

Emphasis will be given to the Rocket Yoga discipline, supporting students to be proficient in teaching Rocket Yoga upon completion. Comparatively the Yin Yoga practices and discussions are intended to be an introduction to the practice, to feel its energetic benefits and to appreciate its potential of enhancing and balancing a dynamic practice.

Additional course components

Relevant anatomy comparisons, which highlight Larry’s insights into an personalised yet inclusive Rocket Yoga discipline.

An introduction into pattern work, which introduces students to deeper psychological development accessing the archetypes of mother and father.

Meet your teachers

Jamie and Amme are two of the few senior teachers taught and mentored by pioneer Larry Schultz personally. They have approaching 50 years teaching experience collectively, and are inspired to bring an ‘old-school’ Larry Schultz experience in this unique yoga offering.

Jamie Clarke

Jamie is inspired by yoga as a means of mind and body integration, as well as psycho-emotional and spiritual transformation. His intention is to seek the deepest truth within himself and to support others in their search.

His teaching approach combines yin and yang, east and west. In this way, his appreciation of eastern philosophies of Tantra, Buddhism, Daoism and the cultural practices of Shamanism, come together with the observations and thinking of the great depth psychologists of the west. The result is a yoga and meditation philosophy and practice combined with transpersonal psychology, context and process.

Amme Poulton

Amme holds the highest certification given by the Yoga Alliance UK. She began practising yoga in 1996 to heal her body after two knee surgeries. After completing an Ashtanga training in San Francisco, CA in 2001, she began teaching yoga full time. Over the years, her explorations of yoga brought her to study with renowned teachers of a variety of styles, and she completed a hatha training in 2003, and Ana Forrest’s advanced training in 2004. She taught in San Francisco, CA for 7 years before heading to Tulum, Mexico and NYC, and now London since February 2009.

She teaches classes that are challenging and dynamic, creating a practice that heals and detoxifies the body and mind. Emphasizing awareness through precision, meditation in motion, and the art of conscious embodiment, her classes challenge the body, engage the mind and quicken the spirit.
