Rocky Coursen

Yoga is spiritual practice for Rocky. His intention for the classes he leads is for his students to build power, flexibility, balance and brightness while having fun and developing an awareness of how the alignment of bones, connective tissues, muscles and energy work in movement. He encourages connection with spirit (inspiration, love, joy, courage, steadfastness, kindness).

There is a set of core asanas (the lunges and standing poses) that he includes in almost every class. He tries to lead the same asanas often enough for his students to master their basic form. He inspires students to give their best in each asana and to work to the level of intensity that makes sense for them that day.

Rocky has studied with John Friend (anusara.com) and imitates his style of alignment and enthusiasm in leading Hatha Yoga asanas. "I aspire to be sensitive and inspirational, leading my students to their own joy and stillness and brightness through the practice of yoga."
