There is a general belief that Power Yoga posture sequences were written on grape leaves many hundreds of years ago. Ashtanga Yoga forms the basis for many of the posture sequences of Power Yoga Classes. The actions are quicker with forced breathingin its most forms. The basic benefits of Power Yoga are: Increased strength, flexibility, stamina and a balanced peaceful state of mind.
According to experts, power yoga include Kundalini Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Iyengar, Bikram, Raja Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, etc. Power Yoga is one of the most scientifically based forms of Yoga that exists. It is an outstanding exercise regimen and makes you feel great. Though, yoga in all forms serves a purpose of calm mind, however Power Yoga combines a workout and a meditation practice all in one.
Often, the “Gong Meditation” is practised in power yoga along with the workouts. For this meditation, you lay down for ten minutes while the teacher plays a large symphonic gong. You need to imagine that the sound resonates through your entire body and just clears out any remnants of tension or stress. It is almost an induced meditation. The sound feeding is so powerful to take you into deep meditation.
