Claire Luna Anderson

This intuitive, fluid practice where we encompass the elements is one of my favourite practices to really develop all sides of our multi-faceted beings. We flow around the mat 360 degrees, the circular movement lending its way to a meditative state. In this bundle, you will have access to 8 videos. 

4x mandala vinyasa practices for Earth, Water, Fire and Air, ranging between 45 to 65 mins. Also included are 4x videos to explain and breakdown the mandala. It is recommended you play these shorter breakdown videos before your first practice so you know what to expect and can flow seamlessly with the practice itself.

Not suitable for beginners

A Journey through the Elements

A powerfully sweaty practice. The fire challenges us in many ways to stretch beyond the low vibration of the ego and to step into a place of intuitive power. Fire gives us a sense of direction and motivation to strive for what we truly want. This manifest in our practice with lots of juicy twists and tricky balances.

The Fire Element

As all yin practice, with the air Yin, this is a chance to surrender deeply to the alchemy of the practice; To trust the process of unfolding, relearning and opening up to possibility and true potential. Air physically as us targeting the front body. working to stretch predominantly through the fronts of the hips, torso and the mobility of the shoulder.

The Air Element

The Earth Mandala is a dynamic yet physically grounding practice, focusing on physical folds to activate the posterior chain (The back body) We are creating strong steady foundation in which to move and grow from.

The Earth Element

The Water Mandala is a fluid and sensual practice, physically focusing on opening the hips and targeting the groin. Here, we hone into our creative centre, as as we move 360 degrees around the mat.

The Water Element

The foundation to any physical yoga practice is the breath and the beyond asana - Breathwork bundle is a great tool to find and develop this powerful practice. The breath is not only a vital lifeforce but a magical tool we can use in day to day life to control our emotions and reactions. 

In this four video bundle we breakdown and practice together, Ujjayi pranayama  - the basis of any vinyasa yoga practice - Kumbhaka breath retention, Energising Kapalabhati and balancing Nadhi Shodhana.

Suitable and suggested for beginners.

BEYOND ASANA BREATHWORK BUNDLE

A beautiful practice to balance our energy. A lovely breath to practice in the evenings, but can be used whenever and in different ways in order to balance our the yin and yang in our bodies. For those who suffer from anxiety, this is a stressless breath that brings us straight back in to the present.

Nadhi Shodhana

Learn the energetic and firey practice of Kapalabhati. This breath is as much an ab workout out as it is a practice of detoxification and an excellent practice to start your day.

Kapalabhati - Shining Skull breath

Bring more air, breath and vitality into the lungs with Kumbhaka. A practice that sees us up the length of time we can sustain, through conscious counting and holding/ retention of the breath. For those of us who are particularly shallow breathers. This practice is great for getting the lungs working to a fuller capacity.

Kumbhaka Breath Retention

Ujjayi (Victorious) breath is the most common practice of breath manipulation that we use in a physical Yoga practice. Here we break down different methods in achieving the sound, the quality and the rhythm of this balanced breath.

Ujjayi Breath

We Rocket Yogis love to put our own spin on the traditional sequences, to keep that thirst for movement and pattern making alive. I know from experience it can sometimes get a touch confusing or to learn the Rocket sequence, so in these videos, we practice the traditional flow without added frills to help you memories the traditional flow. You have this practice as a base from which you can then fly from time and time again and from behind the screen feel free to add your own intuitive flare, once you become comfortable and confident with Rocket 1 and Rocket 2. 

A third, 85 minute, Rocket 1 Mandala has been added to this bundle that sees us taking the Rocket 1 flow 360 degrees around the mat. 

Not recommended for complete beginners, however, the rocket sequence itself can very much be tailored to serve a new practitioner.

The Original Rocket Bundle

Rocket 1 is a sequence modification of the standing postures in classic Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga. The Rocket guides students through a unique twist on leg strengthening, hip opening and balancing by doing all the poses on the right side first and then repeating on the lefthand side. The seated series is the modified primary seated series, with a focus on forward folding. Along the way, students are introduced and offered the chance to invert the body regularly through handstand, arm and forearm balances.
​
In this video, Luna guides us through the traditional flow. As you build strength and knowledge of the sequence feel free to explore and experiment with what feels good for you along the way!

Rocket 1

Rocket 2 standing series is the same as rocket 1 above. Similar to the above video, Luna guides us through the traditional sequence so as not to distract from learning the traditional flow. Standing series is the same as Rocket 1, however, Rocket 2 sees us focussing in on backbends and extensions. The seated series is a modification of the traditional Ashtanga second series and introduces us to third, fourth and fifth series postures, thus the Rocket series invites us to explore what feels good for our bodies without having to stick to a more rigid system of perfecting one pose before moving to the other.

Rocket 2

Although not typical to the rocket practice, this video blends to of Luna's favourite practices, Rocket and Mandala vinyasa together. Blending the fire of rocket with the fluid-like dance of Mandala together. In this video we combine the Rocket 1 flow with the 360-degree movement around the mat, keeping us highly focused and in flow state!

Rocket Mandala

Ayurvedic Philosophy, the sister Science to Yoga, suggests that we are all made up of three different constitutions or energies. The elements Ether and Air make up the Dosha Vata, Fire and Water make up Pitta and Water and Earth creat Kapha. These three doshas, govern or physical bodies, mindset and characteristics. Studies closely there are certain attributes to each dosha that give away our more dominant 'type'.
​
With the three creative flows included in this bundle, we will look at activating each dosha, enhancing its positive qualities within each of us. 

These dynamic flows are not suitable for complete beginners.

The Doshas

Stoke that inner flame and pitta fire that gives us the energy and the confidence to strive for what we wish to do and see in this world.
​
Pitts is what governs changes and transformations within the body and indeed the mind. Not only do we digest food in to fuel for our bodies, but we are constantly digestion and absorbing information.
​
this dynamic flow asks us to be the change, the catalyst from which we wish to grow from.

Pitta Dosha

Kapha is the dosha that creates balance, support and security. As a way of activating this earth like presence, our practice will focus on lengthening the back body. Whilst the creative vinyasa will build in intensity, the steady approachable pace of the flow allows you time to explore how the practice and each pose feels for you.

Vata Dosha

Stoke that inner flame and pitta fire that gives us the energy and the confidence to strive for what we wish to do and see in this world.
​
Pitts is what governs changes and transformations within the mody and indeed the mind. Not only do we digest food in to fuel for our bodies, but we are constantly digestion and absorbing information.

This bundle is a collection of recorded videos that allow you to keep up to date with Luna's weekly mandala vinyasa practice, one that see's us flow with the elements as our inspiration.

Mandala Vinyasa - A Weekly practice

Targetting the front body (anterior chain) in this cyclical flow inspired by the element of air.

23rd November Air Mandala

The series is made up of recordings from our weekly Friday night Yin practice. If you can't make the IRL session, browse this library for the recordings and gift yourself that opportunity to take stock of your week and this moment in time. I encourage all those living a fast pace life or those of us hooked on a dynamic practice, to slow down and tune in to the subtle. 

With our Yin practice, know that you don't have to go physically deep, but the opportunity is there to dive in.

It's a Yin thing <3

Into the Shadows : Our Yoga practice offers up an opportunity to move beyond the physical sensations that we experience. It is a chance to understand our personal habits, patterns and cycles. Our core beliefs, deeply rooted within our psyche, impact the mind and our emotions. whilst some core beliefs that have been imprinted on us are positive, others may be a disservice and limit us from our true potential. Know that you have the power to change these beliefs when we become conscious of them. Our yin practice offers a chance to sit with these core values, it gives us the chance to study the be and flow of the mind as well as the body.

This is a hip focussed practice.

Into the shadows

This collection of videos will grow over the weeks as our Wednesday IRL class grows. 

Each week we break down a specific area or theme  of the The Rocket to give clarity and precision to your practice. 

This bundle is great for those in the beginning phase of their physical yoga journey and for those interested in the fun and firey Rocket Yoga practice.

Rocket Ready

Moving on from last weeks practice we break down the end of the standing series, looking at balances warrior 3, half-moon and revolved half moon, paying particular attention to a specific trait that many of us might unwillingly have - Trendelenburg. 

Trendelenburg is the term given to an imbalance in the hips caused by a potential weakness in our abductors - Think Glute medius and minus. This means we lack stabilisation to support the pelvis and our natural movement. You'll notice this in the way people stand, with one hip cocked to the side, think sassy hip! Or the way models strut down a catwalk! 

This can also massively play out in our yoga practice. In today's practice, we pay particular attention to counterbalancing this action, by strengthening the outer line of the leg and glutes as well as consciously finding lift rather than relying on the standing leg for our balance.

9th dec - Rocket- Talk about Trendelenburg

In this practice, we are looking at the first section of standing in the Rocket practice. 
The series blends open and closed hip postures, which can often be a challenge for beginners or those new to yoga. Here we break down the difference between an open and closed hip position and where in our bodies we need to activate in order to support the pose. 

We look at how the first section of the rocket combines many postures on one left before repeating on the opposite side as a way of building strength in the lower limbs.
