Hugo LOPES
Originally from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Hugo has been living in Banff for the past three years. With the long cold winters Hugo retreated inside where he began to dive deep into his yoga practice; this eventually led him to take his 200h Ashtanga vinyasa yoga teacher training.
Hugo approaches yoga from the standpoint of creating an inclusive environment that breaks stereotypes of what the practice is thought to be. Through this approach Hugo wants to make the practice more welcoming to men and help students adapt the postures to their bodies and not the opposite.
With his background you can expect to vibe out and maybe samba to some Brazilian tunes as he guides you through your practice.
