For nearly two decades, RYA has been dedicated to preserving the roots of Rocket Yoga while evolving the practice. We have been softly rebranding to Emerson yoga over the past 5 years to differentiate between trademarked rocket yoga and our own brand based on 26 years experience instructing rocket yoga to the masses.
This summer, we are excited to offer Emerson 50 — an advanced continuing education yoga training designed for yoga instructors and dedicated practitioners ready to deepen their understanding of Rocket Yoga, Ashtanga Yoga, hands-on assisting, and creative sequencing.
Taking place June 26th–30th in Cincinnati, Ohio at Yoga Ah Studio, this immersive 50-hour yoga continuing education program is inspired by the original Rocket Yoga teacher trainings, while offering a more comprehensive and modern approach to movement education and teaching methodology.
Led by Amber Jean, Emerson 50 combines over twenty-six years of teaching experience, international workshops, and decades of working with thousands of yoga teachers through 200-hour and advanced yoga training
This training is rooted in the foundations of classical Ashtanga Yoga while expanding into the creativity, accessibility, and freedom that Rocket Yoga is known for. Students will begin with a review of traditional Ashtanga principles and then dive deeply into Rocket Yoga sequencing, transitions, inversions, modifications, assists, and intelligent cross-training techniques.
One of the goals of Emerson 50 is to help teachers learn how to make advanced and challenging poses more accessible for real students in real bodies. Rather than focusing only on performance, this training explores how to teach safely, creatively, and effectively while still honoring the energetic spirit of Rocket Yoga.
Throughout the five-day immersion, students will explore:
Classical Ashtanga Yoga review
Rocket Yoga sequencing and methodology
Cross-training techniques for inversions and arm balances
Intelligent mobility and strength work
Hands-on assists and therapeutic adjustments
Accessible approaches to advanced postures
Creative sequencing and class development
Teaching methodology and confidence building
Breathwork, philosophy, and energetic practices
How to create your own Rocket-inspired classes
This Cincinnati Rocket Yoga training is ideal for yoga teachers looking to expand their offerings, refine their teaching skills, and reconnect to the roots of authentic Rocket Yoga while learning modern tools for longevity and accessibility.
Emerson Yoga has always been about honoring lineage while allowing the practice to evolve. The Emerson 50 training reflects that philosophy — blending the intensity and creativity of Rocket Yoga with intelligent movement education, therapeutic understanding, and decades of real-world teaching experience.
