Power yoga is a more dynamic version of traditional yoga which includes more challenging physical components to generate heat in the body. Power yoga is a general term used to describe a vigorous, fitness-based approach to vinyasa style yoga. There are many parts of power yoga that feel similar to vinyasa, although there may be more static poses to build strength, stability, endurance, and flexibility. The benefits of power yoga include metabolism regulation, increase flexibility, immunity, increased strength, increased stability, increased stamina, and promotes detoxification of the body. Avoid power yoga if you are pregnant or suffer from a chronic physical ailment such as diabetes or arthritis. A different style of yoga may be better suited for you, and that's okay!
