With David Kyle & Jonah Kest
Ancient Roots. New Directions.
Two approaches to movement. Two unique perspectives. One shared love for the practice.
Join David Kyle and Jonah Kest for an immersive exploration of Rocket Yoga and creative Vinyasa.
Rooted in the traditions of Ashtanga and inspired by the evolution of modern yoga, this experience brings together the dynamic, playful nature of Rocket Yoga with the creativity, fluidity, and freedom of Vinyasa.
Through powerful daily practices, specialized workshops, and thoughtful exploration, students will deepen their understanding of movement while discovering new possibilities within their own practice.
Expect a dynamic combination of strength, mobility, breath, balance, and creative expression.
We'll explore the mechanics of arm balances and inversions, the intelligence of creative sequencing, and the subtle relationship between structure and surrender.
This experience is designed for both dedicated practitioners and yoga teachers looking to expand their practice, refine their teaching, and rediscover the joy of movement.
Come ready to move, explore, challenge yourself, and experience yoga from a different perspective.
