My Beginner Vinyasa Sequence
What is power yoga? It depends what studio and teacher you ask. But my definition of “power yoga” is “moving dynamically (and continuously) with your breath for a heating, full-body workout.”
This can be challenging for those new to yoga. It requires flowing through yoga’s many poses in rapid succession, and if you’re not already familiar with the poses, that’s hard.
To create this class, I took “Power Yoga’s” core principles of (1) breath-based movement and (2) “flowing” between the poses, but made the “flows” simpler and much safer than the traditional chaturanga vinyasa taught in many Power Yoga studios. The workout is still heating and meditative, but accessible to all levels – even someone whose never done yoga before.
My aim was to let everyone experience that “flow” state Power Yoga is popular for, without risking injury, rushing, or getting lost in a tricky transition.
I hope you enjoy this beginner power yoga class!
