In a world crowded with wellness trends, we believe Original Rocket Yoga stands the test of time because it honours tradition while encouraging us to fully embrace the present moment. It asks us to work hard, breathe deeply, to trust and enjoy the process along the way—a surprisingly rare and powerful combination...
What is The Rocket?
Inspired by Ashtanga, Rocket is playful, dynamic and fun, whilst being adaptable. A brilliant way to test and progress your physical and functional abilities, whilst challenging the mind, steadying the breath and building composure in the body.
Expect an array of backbends, handstands, inversions, splits and phenomenal ways of moving, that might make you question what your body is capable of. Most importantly, Rocket builds confidence — helping you explore, play and do things you never thought you could!

Why Two Teachers Matters?
Each Original Rocket Yoga class is led by both of us, meaning students receive the energy of a guided group practice and the reassurance of individual support. While one of us directs the flow, the other demonstrates, offers options and helps students approach challenging shapes safely with hands on adjustments. Our two teacher approach is unique to Original Rocket Yoga.
Class Structure...
The 90-minute session begins with a warm-up that feels like a launch sequence, lifting your energy into orbit!
Dynamic Sun Salutations wake up the body and steady the breath, followed by foundational and familiar poses such as chair and crow to prepare the legs, core and shoulders.
The then practice moves through 3 phases:
- 'Intro' with forward folds and seated postures
inspired by the Ashtanga Primary Series.
- 'The Kick' increasing energy through backbends,
spinal extension, arm balances, inversions
and Pilates-inspired core work.
- 'Outro' where finishing poses, seated stretches and
a spacious savasana allow the nervous system to
settle and the body to integrate the work.
Music
Music is central to the atmosphere of Original Rocket Yoga. A strong playlist lifts the energy in the room, supports the rhythm of the breath and brings a sense of joy to even the most challenging parts of the practice.
We shape the music around the arc of the class: steady and grounding at the start, vibrant and driving through the peak, then softer and more spacious as we move towards finishing poses and savasana. For us, great music is not background sound. It is part of the flow.
