Power Yoga And Powering It Up
Melvin Chua
Power yoga is sometimes known as the western version of Ashtanga
Yoga which brought by the Indians.
Beryl Bender Birch was the one who gave the term Power Yoga. He
was a teacher of Ashtanga Yoga and at the same time an author of
Power Yoga.
Yoga was inspired and was brought to the west by the renowned
Sanskrit Scholar Sri K. Pattabhi Jo's. The people of the west
were inspired with his Ashtanga Yoga and also his philosophies.
Power Yoga is described to be the practice of Yoga 'Poses' which
is done continuously in series of exercises without stopping.
The practice is accompanied by the Vinsaya which is known as
riding the breath. This enables you to make certain movements
from one pose to another.
The power yoga is characterized by vigorous exercises which
challenges your physical and mental ability and concentration.
This enables you to reach your inner power and connect with it.
The difference of power yoga is that the poses are done faster
in a pace. This practice is essential and helpful in increasing
your physical endurance.
Power yoga enables you to sustain and keep up a good focus at a
longer time without breaking or distracting your concentration.
if you need to fully concentrate with something, power yoga
might just be the right type for you.
Power yoga has some similarities with the modified versions of
Ashtanga Yoga. The certain practices of Iyengar yoga and Bikram
also influenced power yoga.
Just like Bikram Yoga, notice that Power Yoga also applies the
execution of the common basic yoga poses which is a good
practice because even the beginners can do it.
Power yoga also adapted some practices of the Iyengar Yoga which
gives emphasis on the form and alignment during the practice. It
also includes practice in holding a pose longer without breaking
which aims to achieve maximum benefits.
Although Power Yoga has been influenced by a lot of yoga types,
still it aims on the steps of 'Classical Yoga'. It aims to unite
the body, the spirit and the mind uniquely. The main objectives
of yoga is for you to be able to connect to your inner power and
reach every level through the various poses and practices.
With the help of power Yoga, you can dig deep to your physical,
mental and spiritual power.
Power yoga is considered a good preparation for athletes. Not
only does it train them to concentrate deeply but it also aids
them in the prevention of injuries and rehabilitation that may
come.
If you want to do Power Yoga, you should know first if your
health condition can withstand the practice. You should know
that Power Yoga is dine in a heated room which is perfectly
designed to increase the strength and flexibility, increase your
concentration, release tension, stamina and tone in your body
which is achieved and released through sweat.
Power yoga are taught by teachers but there might be various
differences depending upon who is teaching it. The people who
are healthy and fit can practice power yoga. If you enjoy doing
exercises and if you want less chanting sessions, then power
yoga is the best style for you.
