Meet Sevak Lyle!

I took my first yoga class at a Crunch gym in San Francsico almost 10 years ago. I considered myself to be in great shape, so as I felt myself first quivering and then flat-out shaking in Warrior 2.  I was determined that this was a new physical challenge that I needed to CONQUER! Once I started getting on my mat regularly, I began to feel a more balanced strength and flexibility, and started to notice that I was less anxious and reactionary. I was learning how to breathe through a perceived crisis rather than getting myself worked up.  Over time I came to connect to yoga as a whole life practice, a moving meditation rather than simply a physical challenge.

The practice of yoga has changed my life more than any other single thing.  At times it's been challenging as it's often so much easier to just stay where I'm comfortable, playing small, flying under the radar, trying to blend in or say nothing rather than risk saying the wrong thing, creating separation between myself and others rather than seeking connection or common ground, and letting fear and anxiety guide my choices rather than truth and love.  I know that my yoga practice asks more of me than this.  It asks me to sometimes stay and breathe through discomfort.  It asks me to back off and take child's pose even though my ego may be telling me that I need to stay in the pose and that I'd better make it look good! It asks me to take care of myself so that I have more to offer those in my community without condition or agenda. It asks me to continue to explore and question myself and the world around me. It asks me to consider that I am already perfect and divine just as I am, which is often the hardest part.

The journey that I embarked upon with the practice and teaching of yoga, is not one that will ever be conquered. There will always be a new pose and a lifetime's worth of highs and lows.  There will be obstacles, however I am grateful for the opportunity to keep returning to my mat, my teachers, my community, and seeing where the road takes me.

Larry Schultz created the Rocket routine, a series of postures based on a modification of the traditional Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga primary and intermediate series.  The perfect marriage of tempo and sequence, these advanced routines are appropriate for all levels of students.  With plenty of ways to modify the classical poses, the benefits of the poses are transmitted equally to renew vitality and energy.  This vibrant routine is called the "Rocket" because, "it gets you there faster."  The Rocket is designed to wake up the nervous system and feed it the precious prana it craves while promoting a spirit
