Core power yoga is an energetic yoga exercise that physically
and mentally challenges to help connect to inner power without
stopping and accompanied by a heated, climate controlled
Vinyasa. It heals, detoxifies and stimulates the body and mind
through balance and intention.
Power yoga has created a dynamic, challenging program that
combines strength, sweat and spirituality. It recognizes power
in different levels; first is the physical power which develops
the body's strength and improve health; second is the mental
power or the will to concentrate on the practice; and last the
spiritual power which is the power behind the physical and
mental power.
Core power yoga is the Western version of the Indian Ashtanga
Yoga. The term was was given by Beryl Bender Birch, an Ashtanga
Yoga teacher. It has been brought to the west by followers of
Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, a renowned Sanskrit scholar who inspired
Western Yogis with his Ashtanga Yoga Style and philosophies.
There are three programs in power yoga. "Core Power" is designed
to strengthen abdominals and back and includes both abs-focused
Vinyasa power yoga poses and variations of muscle-toning moves.
"Unlocking Athletic Power" will develop flexible strength with
an emphasis on abs, back, hips and pelvis. "Soul of Strength" on
the other hand is a fast-moving power yoga program with a
distinct "mid-body" emphasis and some very challenging moves.
Yoga sessions are done in a heated room and composed of
different cardiovascular exercises intended to develop strength
and flexibility, increase stamina, improves the ability to
focus, release tensions and remove toxins through sweating.
Core power yoga practice also requires the execution of yoga
poses. Poses are done in a fast pace, some poses are even held
longer than the required five breaths. This practice can
increase physical endurance and ability to focus on any task for
a long time without breaking the concentration.
