A gentle introduction to Rocket Yoga with Wen & Sue
A Gentle Introduction to Rocket Yoga
Sunday, 16 March, 10 - 12:30
at Ty Yoga, Talgarth, Wales
£32 early bird discount until 15 February
£35 thereafter
Rocket Yoga is a set sequence of poses that allows you to play and explore physical and breath challenges faster than you might normally encounter such challenges in Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga. It is a dynamic sequence best suited to those who have some experience with yoga-- although a high level of experience is not required for this workshop. We will ease you into it!
Sue will break down the technique and alignment for a selection of the standing and seated poses in Rocket Yoga, taking the time to fine-tune and adapt more challenging poses to different levels of ability or interest.
With Wen we will move through the Rocket sequence, stopping to learn the basics of entering and holding arm balances, and learning the drills and strengthening exercises to assist you in going upside down.
There will be a 30-minute break in between sessions for rest and chat.

Yoga Day Retreat at Llangoed Hall
I'm thrilled to be running a day yoga retreat in this stunning and calming setting; Llangoed Hall.
Rich in history, formerly known as Llangoed Castle, the hall is set in 17 acres of garden and parkland in the valley of the River Wye. According to the late Sir Clough William Ellis, the celebrated Welsh Architect, there appears to have been a house on this site since 500 AD. It is said that the First Welsh Parliament was also held here. In 1987, Sir Bernard Ashley, founder of Elanbach and Laura Ashley, bought the property and restored the hall to its former glory.We will be doing yoga in the Orangery; a spacious elegant light filled room with floor to ceiling windows, with a peaceful view of the main garden.
I'll also be teaming up with their award winning in house chefs to come up with a delicious menu where ingredients used will be freshly picked from their on site kitchen garden, and locally sourced produce.
Tentative schedule:
9:45am - herbal tea on arrival
10am - vinyasa yoga flow
11am - tea break- herbal tea and sweet treats
12pm- gentle yoga
1:15pm - lunch
2:15pm - explore the grounds, relax by the fire place
3:15pm - ends
£75pp including tea and lunch
