It is such a blessing to have met Rocket and joined Ashtanga Glassell. I've been practicing Ashtanga on and off since 2011 and the open, down-to-earth community there is truly singular. Rocket's experience and dedication to sharing Ashtanga and its traditions is inspiring and such a gift for all! During Mysore self-practice he is attentive to students and has a keen sense of knowing the right balance of aid and support to offer them. This sense is an art, unique to Ashtanga and helps to expand a student's understanding and practice. It has definitely allowed me to deepen mine. There is an open line of communication I really appreciate, encouraging dialogue between students and Rocket. The genuine enthusiasm and warmth at the Shala, whether it be during Mysore or Led class, is so refreshing. I'm simply over the moon to be a part of the Ashtanga Glassel Community!

Practicing Ashtanga with Rocket has been a revelation wrapped in a mystery! With his patience, exactitude, and generosity of yogi spirit, my practice has developed four-fold in the past year and my mind remains more open than ever. Just when I think I understand what we're doing, new chambers open up between the subtle mind and the supple body, and I often find myself thinking about the life lessons of yoga all the live-long day. At Ashtanga Glassel, you'll certainly find dedication and rigor, but also a journey fit for all bodies, dispositions, and levels of commitment. This is a shala steeped in the deep history of Ashtanga, but also the stillness of the present moment.

I feel so lucky to have been introduced to Rocket in 2021. Though I had been practicing yoga for some time, I had struggled with consistency. Rocket was, and continues to be, so supportive and helpful that it’s been a joy to show up regularly. Since I began studying with Rocket, I have felt safe and comfortable coming to practice no matter how I’m feeling or what season of life I’m in. As a result, my practice, knowledge and relationship with myself have deepened in ways that are truly supportive. I simply can’t thank or recommend Rocket enough!!

The integrity and harmony Rocket has cultivated in our space is most enjoyable. He supports you, celebrates ALL of your journey and knows intrinsically when you are ready for a little more awareness in your Asana. Rocket has honestly made a profound impact on my life. My yoga practice has changed from a mere ‘workout routine’ to a day-by-day exploration. I’ve cried, I’ve laughed, stumbled, and excelled. This Shala is truly a special place for all who enter.
