Deep Reset - Active Release 2
May 23 7-10pm Kou Studios
Deep Reset: Active Release Through Yoga, Breathwork, and Live Music
​
Hey there, yoga enthusiasts! I’m thrilled to share our upcoming event,
Deep Reset, returning for its second session after the phenomenal reception we received last time! This immersive experience will blend Active Yin Yoga, Breathwork, and Live Music, creating a unique space for transformation and healing.
Join us on May 23rd, 2025, from 7-10pm at Kou Studios.
Located at 2008 Manitoba Street, Vancouver, BC.
This is a chance to dive deep into your practice in a supportive environment!
​
The event will begin with some Ceremonial Cacao from Guatemala, which supports heart opening and enhances our journey into self discovery.
This nourishing drink is the perfect companion as we dive deep into the depths of our emotions and physical sensations.
I’ll be leading a full-body Active Yin Yoga Session.
Unlike standard Yin, this practice incorporates Functional Movement, which lubricates and prepares the body, for the internal work. We’ll explore deep stretches and mindful holds, allowing you to release tension and cultivate awareness in every part of your being. Whether you’re familiar with the practice or new to it, each pose invites you to connect with your body’s unique rhythm.
In addition to the yoga, we’re excited to have the amazing Harry Isaac guiding us through an Incredible Breathwork Journey. Harry is West Coast's main Breathwork Practitioner. His techniques facilitate emotional release and personal insight, allowing participants to tap into deeper levels of awareness.
Many attendees from our last event experienced profound joy and emotional catharsis. Each journey uniquely beautiful.
Adding to the ambiance, the talented David Yates will provide live music with his remarkable array of instruments, including Didgeridoo, Flutes, Handpan, and Singing Bowls. The melodic sounds will enrich our practice, helping you to flow more freely and connect deeply with your breath and movement.
​
Don’t miss this chance to reset your body, mind, and spirit in the calming environment of Kou Studios. Let’s come together to breathe, move, and share in this powerful experience of Active Release.

Thank you so much for sharing your practice and for doing the work. Please try and respect and be kind to everybody out there, namaste.
Rocket Yoga Vancouver at Stretch
I began teaching Yoga in 2006. I initially resonated with teachers who taught powerful but creatively flowing classes. My classes would always be different and very playful.
The problem I found with this style of teaching, is you tend to do more of what you like and what feels & looks good in your body!
Over time this will misalign you, because the poses you don't like are generally the poses you truly need!
Following an intelligent set sequence that ticks off all the boxes, but still allows you to be creative within those boxes.... Is Rocket Yoga! It was created in the late 80's by Larry Schultz.
Since then it has been taught in many countries around the world.
I learned the Rocket sequences from Dustin Fruson initially and then did my Rocket Training in San Fransisco with Steve Pyka.
This "Ashtanga based" practice became my new JAM and saved me a lot of Physio money!
I have been teaching Rocket since 2014 and the owners of Stretch have opened their arms, to be the home of "Rocket Yoga Vancouver!"
Rocket #1( More forward folds similar to Ashtanga Primary ) Rocket #2 ( More Back Bends )
*2/3 of Rocket 1 & 2 are the same!*
Stretch offers 4 Rocket classes a week:
Wednesday 7am Rocket 1 60min.
Friday 7am Rocket 2 60min.
Saturday 10am Rocket 1 90min. ( Starts Jan. 4 )
Sunday 10am Rocket 2 90min.
This practice will help you build internal strength with the focussed work on Bandhas ( lifting pelvic floor "Mula Bandha" and drawing low belly in and up "Udiyana Bandha" )
Keep your practice aligned and fundamentally focussed, and challenge you in creative ways within the sequences!
20HR. ROCKET IMMERSION:
Rocket Immersion's are amazing for Power/ Flow Yoga Teachers, to add these incredible sequences into their teaching regime!
You will still need a 50hr. Rocket Training to become an official Rocket Teacher, but you can add these sequences into your Power/ Flow classes as
"Rocket Inspired"!
We will be breaking down the sequences ( Sun Sals, Standing Series, Wide-Legged Series, Seated Sequence, Back Bend Series, Core Work, Closing Sequence ), teaching them, learning adjustments, improving cueing and cadence! The teachers will also fine tune their own Rocket practices to deliver quality alignment based creative classes!
Once the Immersion is completed and Teachers have a regular Rocket or Rocket Inspired class
at a Studio, they will be added to the @rocketyogavan Teachers Page!
Here's the first group of Teachers that took the first Rocket Immersion at Stretch.
The Rocket Community is strong... I often have students sent to me from the UK, Seattle, Colorado, Philippines, Calgary and Puerto Rico... Where Rocket classes are thriving!
I'm very proud and humble, to be representing for Vancouver.
