It’s been a hot minute since I have taught a workshop in London. This one is going to be so fun. In the vein of teaching what I practice, i am teaming up with the amazing Leslie Abrahams, who I have been working with post double hip ops. If you have seen me lately, you have seen how well it’s going!!!
In this 2-hour workshop, mat Pilates will be woven into the practice to activate, strengthen, and mobilise your body for the classic Rocket 1 sequence (Sun Salutations, Standing and Seated poses, inversions, and arm balances).
Rocket Yoga is designed to get beginners stronger. Pilates brilliantly strengthens and mobilises the areas needed for the rocket poses: the core, hips, and shoulders. You will feel the muscles you need to fire up, and the ones to release, as you get stronger and find grace and ease in the most challenging poses. Learn some take-home exercises to fuel your rocket practice.
Best for those with some experience in either yoga or Pilates, without significant injuries or limited mobility; adventurous beginners welcome. Many modifications will be given. All props will be available at the workshop.
Amme practised with Larry Schultz most weekdays in San Francisco for almost a decade (1999-2007). She completed the 200 hr training in January 2001 and the first Rocket Training in 2002. It’s been Rocket ever since. After 30 years of saying she hated Pilates, she changed her mind after a few months working with Leslie Abrahams getting back to rocket speed after a double hip replacement.
Larry Schultz, the creator of Rocket Yoga, was influenced by Pilates.
Who better to learn the best mat exercises you can take home from than Master Pilates Trainer Leslie Abrahams?
Leslie brings 28 years of experience as a physio and 20 years of studying, teaching, and presenting Pilates. Most recently, he has helped Amme rebuild her body after years waiting for a double hip replacement, using hydrotherapy, physiotherapy, Pilates, and hands-on work. This multidisciplinary approach, combined with the eye of a trained expert, deep intuition, and a strong personal practice, makes Leslie one of the best in his field.
