Rocket immersion,
a workshop weekend for dedicated Rocket students
Laura is back with a double workshop experience to dive deep into Rocket Yoga. Learn to tailor your practice to your needs and aspirations. Receive thoughtful & playful ways to choose and merge variations relating to the classic Rocket poses and transitions. In these workshops we go beyond the classic series. This is for the practitioner that want to drill and build strength, to play and challenge their practice and workshop intricate transitions, balancing poses and work progressively with deepening their flexibility.
Best suited for students with prior experience with Rocket as we will add on to basics, also suited as extension if you already participated in our previous Rocket Immersions to go further.
What we'll cover
- Variations of sun salutations & standing poses that build heat in the body extremely efficiently. Knowing and workshopping these add-ons and variation of the classic poses will support you in making choices on your own when you move through the series in flow.
- Strength drills preparing the body for steady lifts and inverted positions and movements.
- Playful (and intricate) variations of and transitions between the main inverted and semi-inverted poses in Rocket:
— Headstand
— Forearmstand
— Crow
— Handstand
— Shoulderstand
- We will also look into knowledge of Yogic Philosophy subject: Tapas (austerity, discipline)
— how Self-discpline can you continuously inspire you throughout life
— how to ignite and commit, listening with to an internal fire and curiosity
- Progressive and targeted drills for shoulder, back and hip flexibility. These drills will prepare the body for the deep poses that is part of the Rocket series:
— Split
— King Cobra
— Bow
— Pigeon
— Dropback and stand up from camel & wheel
— Scorpion
You do not need to be able to do these poses to attend the workshop, we come together to workshop them and work towards them progressively. If you are already comfortable in these poses, there will be variations available to continue exploring.
- We will also look into knowledge of Yogic Philosophy subject: Santosha (contentment)
— how contentment is understood in a universal perspective
— how the quality and practice of contentment can positively effect your experience of yoga practice and influence you to make wise choices when you are moving on your mat

I have been practicing yoga my whole life from my mothers belly. I grew up in a yoga school in Copenhagen and practicing yoga was always a natural part of living life. Growing up yoga practice was a way to find balance and calmness in everyday life activities and challenges.
After moving to NYC in 2015 I met teachers Yoshio Hama and Sri Dharma Mittra that inspired me tremendously to be able to share this ancient, beautiful, life-supportive practices. I started to teach because I want to serve my community and share the knowledge discovered in my own journey. In the physical aspect Ifocus on the relationship between strength and flexibility to balance the body, but just as importantly how overall through incorporating all eight-limbs of Yoga it holistically support longevity in outer and inner health. Balancing the physical, sets the body for stillness, silence and creates the preparation for deeper discoveries in more subtle parts, encouraging sensitivity and heightened enjoyment of existence. I hope to help my students to a deeper understanding of their inner Self.
Laura has fulfilled advanced teacher training in Dharma Yoga, Rocket Vinyasa Yoga and Backbend, reaching over 1000 hours of certified teacher training.
