Why Power Yoga?

The Baptiste Power Vinyasa style of yoga is a sequence of postures or asanas, linking breath and movement. We flow through the series in a 95 degree room to promote release of toxins and to provide fluidity and flexibility in the muscles and allow for space in clarity, concentration and precision. This practice is not about “perfectionism”, but proper alignment to find freedom in your practice.
