Let’s turn up the heat! This extended practice blends all three Rocket sequences into one dynamic, full-body flow, where you’ll explore inversions, backbends, and everything in between, all while staying connected to your breath. It sounds crazy, but it works! Rocket BBQ is fast-paced yet adaptable,you don’t need to touch your ear with your big toe in a super duper scorpion pose. Rocket Yoga is all about modification, helping you discover your limits and explore at your own pace. By the end of the session, you’ll feel open, empowered, and—drumroll—calm, all thanks to the fluid and constant breath that guides the pace throughout the sequence. Rocket is about freedom, playfulness, and making the practice your own.
Chiara Vaiani
Rocket Yoga Teacher & Community Builder
Growing up in Italy, Chiara was introduced to yoga at an early age, watching her mother move through pretzel-like postures and experiment with funky breathing techniques. Her curiosity eventually led her to Ashtanga Yoga in 2016, where she deepened her practice under the guidance of a teacher who remains her mentor.
She later expanded her experience with a 200-hour Vinyasa training in Mysore and a 50-hour Rocket Yoga certification, broadening her perspective and approach. These trainings, along with her ongoing practice, have broadened her understanding of yoga both on and off the mat.
Her teaching style is dynamic, inclusive, and rooted in community. She sees yoga as a practice of simply showing up with intention, learning to tune into the body, mind, and breath. Some days, that might mean playing with inversions; other days, it’s about slowing down and finding stillness.
Above all, she strives to create a space where every practitioner feels supported and seen, regardless of whether it’s their first practice or their thousandth. She believes that every person brings something unique to the practice, and she continues to learn just as much from those who step onto the mat as they do from her. In her classes, she encourages connection, growth, and the confidence to explore one’s own practice.
"Chiara's class was a breakthrough: a feeling I had found something truly special and tailored to my physical needs. The Rocket series is a sequence rhythmed by breath; there is no waiting around. Chiara’s delivery is soft, positive and encouraging, while still being in command. That might be her secret for making the class so enjoyable! The first series can vary a bit according to the length of the practice, but keeps the same structure overall. Over time, I noticed my practice was getting better, my upper body stronger, and the rhythmed breathing soothed my body. A transformation had taken place. The friends I had made in class would agree: Chiara’s Rocket Yoga is highly therapeutic!"
