Yoga at Hudson

Ann Scott, Hudson's Executive Officer, has been attending yoga at Hudson for the past four weeks. Here's what she has to say:

How is yoga?

As a newbie to yoga I was surprised at how much of a workout I got! I also managed some tricky poses which nearly had me falling flat on my face. I'm looking forward to getting a bit more flexible to ease up the aches and pains I get from riding my bike.

What style of yoga is it? 

The style of yoga is very similar to Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga with some challenging poses incorporated into the flow of poses.
Don't be scared off by all of this jargon - from my perspective it is just great fun, doesn't require me to turn myself into a human pretzel and is challenging strength wise.

What can you do now compared to 4 weeks ago (when you hadn't done yoga)?

I can now do a 'frog' for about 0.75 seconds and as you can see from the pictures was able to pull my legs straight over my head and touch my toes on the floor - with a bit of help!
