Yoga-Meditations

Power Yoga or dynamic yoga, as the name suggests is strenuous and fast paced exercise emphasizing mainly on improving flexibility and strength of your body. The trend of power Yoga emerged during mid 1990s; it was started by two American yoga instructors who were trained in Ashtanga Yoga by an Indian master. Later the yoga was reinvented by them and made into a fitness tool, in the form of this technique which we call power yoga. Power Yoga is different from other forms of yoga as it can be used for heavy workouts, stress is given on fitness and it does not include fixed poses (poses may differ according to instructor). Overall power yoga is suited to you if you enjoy exercises, need minimum meditation and chanting and can be followed even when you are already fit. Ashtanga yoga is the core of power yoga.
