Most people don’t know the correct breathing technique behind each asana and that leads to poor results. This way they end up blaming yoga for their lack of results and eventually stop practicing it. Practicing Ashtanga yoga for about an hour and a half, for at least 4 times a week can really transform your body and put you in the best shape of your life. But not everybody has that kind of time these days. So how can you maximize your results in a squeeze for time? Yoga with weights is your answer.
