Do You Know Why Most important Power yoga ?



Power Yoga Benefits


Power Yoga is a customizable yoga style influenced by aerobic exercise. It regularly varies poses so that the body is always experiencing something new.

[1] Power Yoga is a great way to combine the mental, physical, and spiritual benefits of yoga with high intensity, calorie-burning exercise. Power Yoga strengthens your body, increases flexibility, and promotes stamina and weight loss as well as improving posture and balance. It also improves circulation and the immune system, is good for your heart and strengthens your bones, muscles, and joints.

[2] Mental benefits can include improved concentration and decreased stress. To get the full benefits of a Power Yoga, tailor your routine to meet your goals and don't sacrifice basic yoga principles for a hard workout.

Choose the right time of day.
 You might want to do power yoga first thing in the morning when an energetic routine is most likely to get you going for the rest of the day. Try pairing that practice with a very short, relaxing routine at night if you can. Even just a few poses may help you sleep and set the tone for the next morning.

Tadasana with weights:-This is “the mountain pose” and is a starter pose for most standing positions. It is useful to practice this pose in order to learn more difficult poses later on.
You can include dumbbells into your poses to really get a workout. It is not a requirement, however, as Power Yoga alone is a great workout on its own.

You will need to stand up with your hands at your sides, back straight. Your big toes should be touching and your heels should be slightly apart. Stack your ribcage over your pelvis and your pelvis over your ankles. Pick up some dumbbells and hold them at your sides.

Raise your arms upwards and stretch your hands toward the ceiling as if you can touch it. Tuck your pelvis under and knit your ribcage together to keep your chest from puffing out. At the same time, lift your body and try to balance on your toes. Remain in the pose for 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Don’t forget to breathe in tandem with your movements.
Be aware that most Power Yoga workouts have little to no rests between poses.



Utkatasana:This pose is also called “the chair pose.” This pose, like most poses, can be performed near a wall to help keep you balanced. When you bend forward, your tailbone can touch the wall and help you maintain balance.

Stand in the starter pose, Tadasana. Inhale while you raise your arms upward, stretching, with your dumbbells. Exhale as you bend your knees like you are going to sit in a car while keeping your weight in your heels.

Keep your thighs parallel to the floor and your upper body leaning slightly at a right angle to your thighs. Hold the pose for 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Inhale and straighten your knees. As you exhale, move your arms back to your sides into the starting position.

 Trikonasana: This is the “triangle pose” and requires you to keep your eyes open to maintain balance. It can be challenging but has many benefits because it affects multiple areas of the body. Like the other poses, you will start out in Tadasana.

Separate your feet about 4 ft. apart, or to whatever distance is comfortable. Hold barbells, if desired. Turn your right foot out about 90 degrees while your left foot is slightly angled in.

Inhale. While you exhale, bend your body to the right side, reaching outward then downward from your hips. Keep your waist straight and move your left arm up in the air. Move your right arm toward the floor—both arms will be in a straight line like your body is pressed between 2 panes of glass. Hold for 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Repeat this pose on the left side



Virabhadrasana: This is “the warrior pose” and has multiple pose variations. It represents the spiritual warrior as he or she faces self-ignorance in battle.

Start out in Tadasana, then separate your feet about 4 feet (1.2 m) apart. Holding dumbbells, raise your arms and stretch them. Turn your right foot 90 degrees to the right side and your left foot about 45 degrees in the same direction.

Exhale and turn your upper body to the left, keeping your back straight. Bend your right knee over your ankle. Gaze out over your front middle finger.


Balasana: Balasana, “child’s pose,” is a resting pose and can be used before or after any other pose. Many people use it when they start to get tired. It stretches the hips, thighs, and ankles while relieving stress as well as back or neck pain.

Sit on your heels with your big toes touching and align your knees with your hips. While you exhale, bend your upper body forward and lay on the ground with your arms alongside, palms up. Remain in the position for at least 30 seconds.
