What is Power Yoga?

The Power of Power Yoga

Power yoga is a derivation of Ashtanga yoga developed by Beryl Bender Birch, an Ashtanga instructor. Power yoga incorporates quicker-paced poses and vinyasa breathing (riding the breath) to move fluidly from one pose to the other. It is very invigorating, but can also be practiced by beginners. Power yoga also takes elements from Iyengar yoga making it a well-rounded western version of an Indian style.
