Power Yoga is a vigorous and fitness-based approach to Vinyasa-style yoga. It focuses on building strength, endurance, flexibility, and mental focus. It incorporates more dynamic movements and postures, often in a faster flow, which can create a cardio workout along with traditional yoga benefits like improved balance, stress relief, and mindfulness.
Unlike some forms of yoga that follow a set sequence of poses, Power Yoga offers more flexibility in its practice, allowing instructors to design their sequences. This makes classes adaptable to varying fitness levels, though they are often considered more physically demanding compared to gentler forms like Hatha or Restorative Yoga. It’s popular among those looking for a more intense, sweat-inducing practice.
