Yoga & Power Yoga

Power yoga, a dynamic fitness based derivative of yoga, is modelled on Ashtanga yoga. With new power yoga centres cropping up in every Indian metro today, it is no longer restricted within the realm of the rich and famous. Power yoga is fast becoming an increasingly budget-friendly and viable fitness option for all of us. If you’ve been wondering about whether power yoga is the right choice for you, or not, look no further. We ask holistic health expert,Mickey Mehta, to tell us about why you should consider switching to power yoga today.

What is Power Yoga? Due to its up tempo and brisk nature, power yoga is essentially like an aerobic workout, where yoga poses are done faster and in continuation. Power yoga when practised regularly and under supervision helps your body achieve stability, balance, posture and tone. It is a fast paced work out and can be practised by anyone who enjoys exercising.

DAILY YOGA PRACTICE

Six days of yoga per week (1 day of rest). We encourage you to do 5 of these practices at the studio, but you may supplement 1 home practice per week. Each week there is a theme for your physical practice that will help you build a strong and sustainable personal practice.

DAILY MEDITATION PRACTICE

You will begin to build a daily meditation practice over 40 days beginning with just 5 minutes in the morning and 5 minutes at night. Each week we will build upon the tools of the previous week, adding a weekly focus and increasing the length of time slowly.

OBSERVANCE OF DIETARY INTAKE

Each week we look at a specific area of food, and bring attention to our habits and attachments around that food. During the fourth week we will take a three day cleanse to give your body a rest.

PERSONAL JOURNALING

Each week there will be a short reading and journal questions that will encourage inward self explorative inquiries.

WEEKLY COMMUNITY MEETINGS

Once a week, the 40 Days group will meet and a facilitator will lead a forum in which the group will discuss that week’s readings, and excavating journal questions. The weekly community meetings are the most beneficial part of the program. As the group moves and changes together, you will find strength and encouragement from other participants.
