The work hops were categorised into 'sun salutation variations', 'twisting your way to health', 'inversions' and ‘power one yoga’. The workshops were organised to help students fine-tune their practice as well as concentrating on students' body alignment and breathing techniques. Yoga students from all ages with different backgrounds and nationalities gathered at Seraphina studio to learn more about yoga.
