One of the most significant contributions of Schultz was the amalgamation of postures from various sequences of the traditional Ashtanga Vinyasa method, leading to the creation of the “Rocket sequences.” These sequences were designed to be more accessible and allow for a fluid movement from one pose to another, encouraging evenness of breath and a dynamic style of body movement.

Rocket Yoga was thus named because, as Schultz put it, “it gets you there faster.” The “there” is a deeper understanding and mastery of one’s body and mind. Schultz’s dynamic practice of Rocket emphasized the freedom of movement and the personal touch, allowing each practitioner to bring their interpretation of the traditional asana.

Beyond just creating sequences, Larry Schultz fostered a community around Rocket Yoga. He trained numerous yoga teachers, ensuring the practice spread globally. His studio in San Francisco became a hub for Rocket enthusiasts, drawing in both novices and advanced practitioners eager to experience this unique style.
