This workshop is an informative and practical exploration of an important part of Ashtanga Yoga and Vinyassa practice. It is a unique opportunity for both novice and advanced Yoga enthusiasts to practice under the tutelage of an international and advanced Yoga teacher. Matthew delivers his workshops with enthusiasm and a fun-filled atmosphere to allow you to explore the joy of Yoga.

These useful techniques have been comprehensively developed over many years and are applicable for students of any level.
