Power Yoga
Power yoga became popular in the West because it suited those who were interested in learning yoga, but wanted to be physically fit by focusing more on the physical aspects rather than the spiritual and meditative. Power yoga involves doing yoga poses in rapid succession, while not necessarily following any set series of stretches and poses typically associated with Ashtanga yoga.
Core Yoga
When people hear “core yoga,” they immediately think of how yoga can be used for weight and core strength training. While this is partly true, there are also many other techniques used in core yoga such as Kundalini Core Yoga. The main difference between core yoga and the typical core strength training is that the former thrives on the concept of breath and breathing as the root of inner strength.
Three Programs in Core Power Yoga
The three main programs in core power yoga are the following: Core Power, Unlocking Athletic Power, and Soul of Strength. Core Power is designed to stretch and strengthen the back and abdominal muscles. The Core Power program involves doing power yoga poses in combination with moves specifically designed to tone the muscles. The Unlocking Athletic Power program focuses more on developing strength not just on the abs and back, but also the hips and pelvis. Lastly, the Soul of Strength program also involves doing fast-paced and strenuous yoga poses, but becomes more challenging because of its emphasis on the mind-body connection.
