What makes Rocket® Yoga different from traditional Ashtanga?

Rocket® Yoga builds on the foundation of Ashtanga Vinyasa while introducing greater freedom to adapt the practice to individual anatomy. Its dynamic sequences combine strength, balance, flexibility, endurance, and rhythm. Standing postures play an important role in developing stability and strength while preparing the body for more advanced movements. This infographic highlights standing postures from Rocket® Yoga and offers a look at the movements featured in the practice. For a deeper look at the history, philosophy, poses, modifications, and five Rocket® Yoga series, explore Rocket® Yoga: Your Guide to Progressive Ashtanga Vinyasa.

Building muscle doesn't require endless hours in the gym. It requires finding your minimum effective dose, the smallest amount of training that still produces real results. Train Smarter, Not Longer breaks down exactly what that means and how to apply it to your own training.

Written by Patroklos "Pak" Androulakis Korakakis, the book translates the science behind minimum effective dose (MED) into practical, easy-to-follow chapters covering resistance training fundamentals, nutrition, and recovery. Sample programs and real-world examples help readers at any experience level build a routine that pushes hard enough to see gains without wasting time on unnecessary volume. Backed by scientific research, this is a resource for anyone who wants results without sacrificing hours in the gym.

Can exercise actually change your brain?

Exercise does more than challenge your muscles and cardiovascular system. It also gives the brain experiences to adapt to, making the connection between movement and brain health an important area of exercise science. Brain Health and Exercise by Ryan Glatt and Aimee Nicotera explores how exercise and dual-tasking can be used to challenge cognitive functions such as attention, memory, executive function, and processing speed. With more than 70 dual-task drills and exercises, the book provides practical strategies for fitness and health professionals looking to incorporate cognitive demands into exercise programming.
