Power yoga

 

Power Yoga is a general term used to describe a vigorous, fitness-based approach to vinyasa-style yoga. Though many consider power yoga to be superficial “gym yoga”, this style of yoga practice was originally closely modeled on the ashtanga method. It makes you feel strong and flexible and makes your mind relaxed, it is a perfect combination of yoga for your mind, body, and soul. It includes a vigorous yoga style which results in proper blood circulation in our body which increases our focus and concentration making our mind and body healthy.

One had an enriching experience if he/she attended the Power Yoga Session organized by the SYNC club of H.R. College which was conducted by Miss Khushbu Patel who has been learning and practicing yoga, mat Pilates, and yoga therapies for the last five years. She learned yoga under the permanent yoga Institute, the yoga Institute, and yoga Vidhya Niketan. She is also a certified professional ballet dancer and teaches ballet in and around Mumbai.

It started off with a few exercises for a warm-up and lotus pose where she told us that while performing it one should remember that your knees are in equidistance from the floor which was followed by loads of more exercises including boat pose, butterfly pose, setu bandhasana, cobra pose, mountain pose, breathing exercises, Chandra bandana pranayam, and bhramari. 

So relax and consider bringing balance to your time on and off the mat.

Relaxation, as elite athletes know, is the key to true power.
