Core Power Yoga or a variant of Westernised Ashtanga.
from:Core power Yoga is a variant of westernised Ashtanga Yoga, which is derived from Hatha Yoga. Like Bikram Yoga, it is practised in a heated environment and focuses on the physical aspects, making use of the body to keep the mind occupied.
Core Power Yoga emphasises energetic postures that flow dynamically in sequential synchronised movements and it brings the traditional benefits of detoxifying the body while stimulating the mind.
It is rumoured that the founder of Ashtanga Yoga, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, developed Ashtanga as a means of introducing Yoga to children. Being too young to understand the reasons motivating the rigours of postures, he found it difficult to keep children focussed. By adding the aspect of physical challenge he found children to be more responsive.
Power yoga has created a dynamic, stimulating program that combines strength, sweat and spirituality. It recognizes power in different levels; first is the physical power which develops the body’s strength and improve health; second is the mental power or the will to concentrate on the practice; and last the spiritual, which is the source of the physical and mental abilities.
The term Core Power Yoga was given by Beryl Bender Birch, an Ashtanga Yoga teacher. It has been brought to the west by followers of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, a renowned Sanskrit scholar who inspired Western Yogis with his Ashtanga Yoga Style and philosophies.
There are three programs in power yoga. “Core Power” is designed to strengthen abdominals and back and includes both abs-focused yoga poses and variations of muscle-toning moves. "Unlocking Athletic Power" will develop flexible strength with an emphasis on abs, back, hips and pelvis. "Soul of Strength" on the other hand is a fast-moving power yoga program with a distinct "mid-body" emphasis and some very challenging moves.
Yoga sessions are done in a heated room and composed of different cardiovascular exercises intended to develop strength and flexibility, increase stamina, improves the ability to focus, release tensions and remove toxins through sweating.
Core power yoga practice also requires the execution of yoga postures. These are performed in a fast pace, some poses are even held longer than the required five breaths. This practice can increase physical endurance and ability to focus on any task for a long time without breaking concentration.
