Power Yoga is a style of Yang yoga - an intense, dynamic form of yoga that is based on relaxation through exercise. In Power Yoga, you seek to achieve the perfect balance between strength and flexibility in every posture. Because you focus on your body and your breathing during the exercises, you also improve your concentration, calming your mind and enabling you to perform better in daily life.
During Power Yoga lessons you will work on different asanas (yoga postures). These are linked with vinyasa’s (dynamic movements) to form a flowing sequence, which are synchronized you’re your breathing. The sequences are intense, but are built up gradually with different options for the postures. Are you tired? Then you can simply move into the relaxation posture for a few moments to relax. Power Yoga is therefore suitable for all levels of fitness. It is all about challenging yourself, while listening to your body at the same time. Each lesson is ended with a final relaxation exercise.
