Need Power? Try Core Power Yoga
from: Melvin ChuaCore power yoga is an energetic yoga exercise that is both
physically and mentally challenging and helps to connect to our
inner powers without stopping and accompanied by a heated,
climate controlled Vinyasa. It heals, detoxifies and stimulates
the body and mind through balance and intention.
Power yoga is a dynamic and challenging program that combines
strength, sweat and spirituality. It recognizes power in
different levels; first is the physical power which develops the
body's strength and improve health; second is the mental power
or the will to concentrate on the practice; and last the
spiritual power which is the power behind the physical and
mental power.
Core power yoga is the Western version of the Indian Ashtanga
Yoga. The term was was given by Beryl Bender Birch, an Ashtanga
Yoga teacher. It has been brought to the west by followers of
Sri K. Pattabhi, a renowned Sanskrit scholar who inspired
Western Yogis with his Ashtanga Yoga Style and philosophies.
There are three programs in power yoga. 'Core Power' is designed
to strengthen abdominals and back and includes both abs-focused
Vinyasa power yoga poses and variations of muscle-toning moves.
'Unlocking Athletic Power' will develop flexible strength with
an emphasis on abs, back, hips and pelvis. 'Soul of Strength' on
the other hand is a fast-moving power yoga program with a
distinct 'mid-body' emphasis and some very challenging moves.
Yoga sessions are done in a heated room and made up of different
cardiovascular exercises intended to develop strength and
flexibility, increase stamina, improves the ability to focus,
release tensions and remove toxins through sweating.
Core power yoga practice also requires the execution of yoga
poses. Poses are done in a fast pace, some poses are even held
longer than the required five breaths. This practice can
increase physical endurance and ability to focus on any task for
a long time without breaking the concentration.
What is the difference between core power yoga and other
exercises?
Core power yoga is a vinyasa style that has a unique program
offering and focuses on core strength, balance and flow to build
a solid practice based on strength and spirit. It offers diverse
classes like Hot Yoga, Yoga Sculpt, Boot camps, Teacher
Trainings and Mat Pilates. Moreover, it provides better
instructors that are personally involved in student's progress,
strong and forceful leaders who pays more attention to the
students needs. Also the teachers of this exercise work with the
students to personalize their programs and creating a sense of
belonging and community. And lastly, it provides quality
facilities equipped with a unique top tier amenities and a
balance aura.
This exercise also offers great health benefits; it lengthens
and stretches the muscles and at the same time also builds
stamina, strength and lean muscle and mass. It also increases
body heat that kills some bacteria and creates a finely tuned
state of consciousness of the workings of the body. The focus of
core power yoga is on the coordination of the breath movement,
connecting the body, mind and spirit to the warmest level.
Core power yoga is best to those who want to improve their
performance in their chosen sports like cycling, football,
swimming, skiing, running, martial arts and various other team
sports. Some training grounds in sports practice this exercise
in transition for aerobics.
Core power yoga can and does reshape your body and mind!
