226 - What's the Difference Between Power Vinyasa and Vinyasa?


Listen Later

In this episode, we explore the difference between vinyasa and power vinyasa yoga. 

I share my personal definitions of vinyasa and power and how I teach them as well as some community comments and definitions shared in a recent conversation on my Instagram.

We also talk about the lack of standardization in the industry; the importance of clear language in class descriptions and marketing; the origins of power yoga and how it has evolved; and how definitions and practices may vary across groups. 

Links to a few things mentioned in the episode:

To practice with me online, visit Studio B.

Content correction:

in the episode, I said that in 1940 women couldn't own property. That's incorrect; by 1900, that right had been granted by all US states, but it wasn't until the mid-1970s that women could apply independently for credit lines (i.e. without a male cosigner). 

If you find the gender aspects of the conversation interesting, consider reading this article about yoga pioneer Magana Baptiste.
