What is Power Vinyasa Yoga?
Power Vinyasa Yoga is a style of yoga practiced in a heated room. In this practice you sweat, stretch and move through a sequence of vigourous and uplifting asanas (yoga poses). Your breath, aided by the lungs (the body's major organs of elimination) helps detoxify the muscle tissue while squeezing tension out of the nervous system. The heat is very beneficial, further aiding the detoxification process while allowing your muscles to gain a deeper access to strength and flexibility. Once heated and stretched, your muscles remain flexible even after your body cools down. You leave feeling stronger, more flexible and incredibly relaxed. This is the Power Vinyasa Yoga Experience!

The Benefits
The benefits of this practice are many and far outweigh the challenges. After your first practice, you will feel better. Yoga has been proven to aid in healing back pain, reducing stress, improving digestion, aiding in diet and weight loss, and will help to keep you grounded psychologically and spirtually.  There are so many benefits to yoga that it is best summed up by the most common feedback heard by our students, which is, "This yoga has saved my life".
