Amme Poulton

Rocket + Hot Rocket

I have been practicing and teaching rocket and ashtanga vinyasa for over 20 years. I specialise in beginner students who want to do more, and advanced students who want to do less. My classes tend to be vigorous and playful, lots of options for all levels. I play music but it seems to get quieter every year. The work, if you can call it that, in the practice, is learning to concentrate and breathe; the rest of the practice is grown up fun time.

 

Qualifications:

  • Studied directly with Larry Schultz, the creator of Rocket Yoga for 10+ years; teaching rocket yoga since 2001
  • First teacher to offer rocket yoga classes in London.
  • Ana Forest’s advanced TT and 400 hrs of Hatha training.
  • Almost three decades of practicing, studying and teaching yoga asana to bodies of all varieties.

Class Descriptions

Rocket

Amme teaches a Rocket Yoga class that is advanced, but for beginners! Based on the primary, intermediate and third series of the Ashtanga system, the emphasis is on moving with the breath through sun salutations, standing poses, and then to the floor. Throughout the practice, we play with inversions and arm balances.

 

The class varies each week and often revolves around a philosophical/spiritual/educational theme with stillness at the end. Guaranteed to leave you gooey.

 

Beginners and advanced students practise together, as rocket is designed to make the advanced poses more accessible.

 

Music is used in this class.


Suitable for all levels with no major injuries/physical limitations.

Hot Rocket

Learn the basics of Rocket Yoga while getting super sweaty! Rocket Yoga is an energetic style of yoga based on the Ashtanga Yoga method. Designed to “get you there faster” (wherever “there” is for you,) this system will build strength and stamina.

 

Suitable for all.

Testimonials

Student

“I think Amme is fabulous, excellent. She provides a physically energetic yet also cognitively Vinyasa practice – with excellent tips on alignment and other matters of form in the particular poses, including superb tips on inversions such as forearm stands and handstands – while maintaining a refreshingly laid-back (i.e. down to earth, non-pretentious) attitude. Additionally, she provides excellent core strengthening exercises. Amme contributes an important, unique sort of class”

Student

“I really enjoyed the class covered by Amme… She has a very friendly teaching style and I thought that it was a good balance between being active and relaxation. I would definitely look to attend more classes taught by Amme.”

Student

“Every time I practice with you the spirit of the rocket is renewed and I feel so grateful and inspired to learn, practice and teach more”
