WHY ASHTANGA YOGA?
Hugh will lead you a through a flowing sequence of postures based on the first three series of Ashtanga yoga, each linked together with a breath. Each of these postures will work on exercising a different part of your body. He will teach you to ‘lock’ certain muscle groups as you move through your series of yoga positions. The breathing and stretching that you will experience from Ashtanga yoga can help you to improve your core strength, fitness, flexibility and posture.
