Power and Astanga Yoga
This is yoga for those who like to sweat! Not for the faint of heart (or body), Power Yoga and Ashtanga Yoga are very similar - both base their practices on performing Vinyasas, or a series of yoga poses which are strung together, one right after the other. It's a challenging blend of flexibility, strength and endurance. Want to explore your inner athlete? Then this style of yoga is for you.
