"Power Yoga" is a broad term referring to a style of yoga that has become popular throughout the West, particularly in gyms. Power Yoga's focus is based on a more vigorous practice of a challenging series of postures that are designed to increase heat and energy in the body. To become a yoga teacher in this style or any other, you must attend a school certified by the Yoga Alliance along with studying and practicing for a certain number of hours.
About
Power Yoga is a fitness practice based on the betterment of each individual, not the ego. Its goal is to attain the highest level of energy and vitality for each person, no matter what their skill level. This style of yoga is not based on competition or pushing you past your edge of comfort, but creating an environment based on natural expansion and growth. Each yogi should feel connected, balanced and satisfied, as well as focused on optimum physical health.
