What is Power Yoga, and where can I learn this type of Yoga
Firstly it should not be confused with Ashtanga Yoga. Ashtanga techniques were modified later by a number of Southern California
teachers into Power Yoga that resembles an aerobics class. Because there is
no training certification in this area of yoga the quality of the teachers can vary.
They may
have little knowledge of physical problems or conditions. If you are not
already strong and healthy this form of yoga may be detrimental.
There are many good power yoga teachers such as Bryan Kest, but I would check the instructors
qualifications before learning with them. This goes for all Yoga instructors
There are many good Yoga DVD's and
Yoga Books on available on this style of yoga, but as usual if you are a beginner, attending a
class with a qualified teacher would be the best and safest option.
