At vyb, our core vinyasa offerings—Power, Rocket, and Yogastha Sadhana—are rooted in an Ashtanga-based system. This means the practice is built on structure, breath-led movement, repetition, steady progression over time, and preparation for meditation. We don’t teach what’s trending; we teach a method designed for consistency and long-term development.

Each class follows the same foundation: sun salutations, standing postures, seated postures, and a closing sequence with stillness and rest. While the shapes may vary, the structure does not. This repetition is intentional—it’s what allows the practice to deepen and evolve over time.

These days, hot yoga has become popular as a way to generate heat externally. Here, we create heat from within—through breath, movement, and sustained focus. Our core vinyasa practices use Ujjayi Pranayama, a yogic breathing technique that builds internal fire, regulates the nervous system, and deepens the mind-body connection. When breath and movement are synchronized, the practice becomes steady, focused, and transformative. 

Sound is also an essential part of our method. We use music as a tool to guide attention inward through the body and help quiet the thinking mind. This is a form of Nāda Yoga—the practice of using sound as a pathway into presence.  In many classes, you’ll move through loud, rhythm-driven electronic music designed to support flow, focus, and embodied awareness. We find this style of sound particularly effective for shifting brain states and helping students drop out of mental chatter and into sensation. Other teachers may choose different styles of music, but the intention remains the same: to use sound as a bridge into presence. 

The invitation is simple—let your mind rest, get into your body, and feel the beat.

Rocket Yoga + The system we teach

Rocket Yoga was developed by Larry Schultz, an early Ashtanga student of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois. It was designed to make the Ashtanga system more accessible, adaptable, and approachable for modern practitioners.

Rocket includes three sequences drawn from the Ashtanga Primary, Intermediate, and Advanced Series, organized in a way that emphasizes:

• joint mobility
• strength and flexibility
• progressive skill development
• accessibility across levels

It has been described as “The Montessori School of Yoga” because beginners and advanced students can practice side by side with modifications available for all levels.  At its core, Rocket is still Ashtanga-based—it simply offers more freedom, variation, and adaptability in how the system is experienced.

We use Rocket as one expression of the broader method we teach: a structured practice designed to support consistency, curiosity, and long-term development.

Power Yoga + Yogastha Sadhana

Alongside Rocket, Power and Yogastha Sadhana are equally central to our system. Yogastha Sadhana is a steady, structured, breath-focused practice rooted in traditional sequencing and internal awareness. Power is more dynamic and multidirectional, designed to build strength, mobility, and fascial integration while still maintaining breath and structure.

Together, these three classes—Rocket, Power, and Yogastha Sadhana—form the foundation of our vinyasa system. You do not need to choose one “perfect” style. You simply commit to showing up consistently.

Complementary Practices

To support both the vinyasa system and nervous system, we also offer slow flows for when you want to feel more grounded, yin and restorative yoga for recovery and nervous system balance, meditation and pranayama practices for stillness, awareness, and energy cultivation,  and strength and skill-based training to complement your yoga practice. These practices are designed to support integration, strength, and progression—not to replace the core system, but to enhance it.

How often should I Practice?

In the traditional Ashtanga system, students practice six days per week with rest on Saturdays and moon days.  At vyb, we are rooted in this tradition, while acknowledging modern life. We recommend practicing vinyasa-based classes (Rocket, Power, or Yogastha Sadhana) at least 3 times per week to experience the benefits of the method. This can be Rocket, Power, Yogastha Sadhana, or any combination of the three—the benefit comes from consistency within the system, not the specific class style, but combining all three styles is the secret sauce.

On other days, we encourage rest, slower classes, meditation, strength training, or any form of movement that supports balance and recovery.

One full rest day each week is essential for integration, strength building, and nervous system regulation.

Class Size

Classes at vyb are capped at 15 students. This keeps the space personal, focused, and supportive. We’re not here to simply lead a room—we’re here to teach. Smaller classes allow us to see you, guide you, and support your practice over time.

For Beginners

It’s normal to feel unsure when starting. You don’t need prior experience, flexibility, or strength. What matters is consistency and willingness. What you see in others is not talent—it’s time. With repetition, the breath steadies, the body adapts, and awareness sharpens. Over time, the practice becomes something you can rely on—on and off the mat.

At the heart of this practice is function over form. Yoga is not about being good at postures or collecting advanced shapes—it is about using the physical practice as preparation for the mind.

The physical practice exists to steady what is constantly moving within us: thought, emotion, reaction, perception. As that movement begins to settle, something quieter becomes available. Not something new—but something always present beneath it. 

Yoga is ultimately a practice of the mind. When the mind becomes clearer, suffering loses its grip. What remains is awareness, and from there, a more direct experience of peace.

Samadhi is the goal of this path, not a handstand. 

With patience and without attachment to outcomes, your practice will unfold. Repetition is the key to success. You don’t need to know anatomy or have extreme strength or flexibility. Just show up as you are, let go of your worries for a bit, and  simply enjoy the journey.
