Cindy Mastry has practiced yoga since the age of eight, and also has a background in Jazz and Ballet. Active in the fitness industry for nearly twenty years, she teaches aerobics, kickboxing, and yoga at many fitness centers in the Tampa Bay area. Cindy trained with 84 year-old Master Yogi Monk, Baba Hari Dass at the Mt. Madonna Center in California and owns/operates "Yoga Etc Studio" in St. Petersburg, Florida. Cindy teaches yoga to people of all ages and experience levels and at very competitive rates.

CINDY MASTRY: Namaste. Power yoga is based on the Hatha Yoga system using the same sort of poses, but they are used in a very dynamic, strenuous type of flow from one movement to the next. As your heart rate elevates, your cardiovascular system gets cleansed and purified. You draw in more chronic energy which allows you to release the toxins from your body. This ultimately gives you more energy to use. So we use the same sort of postures; standing postures, twisting postures, back-bending, forward-bending. We do hold them. Sun salutations are used quite a bit. And sun salutations are a great way to draw up energy, because they move with the breath from one movement to the next, totally working your entire body and energizing your entire system. In a power yoga class, it is said that an average 140-pound person is going to work off 400 calories. So, through reducing the toxins, elevating the heart rate, improving your cardiovascular system, you are going to find that you have way more energy to use.
