If you are interested in yoga for spiritual benefits or for health and fitness, Power Yoga can provide both. Synchronous breathing with strong, flowing movement combines for a hot, high energy workout. Different from other style, Power Yoga is based on a choreographed sequence of poses (called asanas). These asanas flow into one another, creating a moving dance. Joints unwind in the process, muscles are release, energy is moved. Throughout the practice, a person builds strength, flexibility, and mental focus with the final result being a release of tension. |

| Throughout the years many people have come to think that Yoga only entailed breathing techniques, chanting and stretching. The truth is that Yoga was developed as a challenging form of exercise. It was scientifically designed 6,000 years ago by the Hindus to harness strength and endurance so the practitioner could overcome the harsh obstacles that existed back then. |

| For men, being able to tell the difference between bad stress and healthy stress can be impossible. From an early age we are told to push ourselves to the limit, to compete on every level. The jobs we go for include the maxim 'must be able to work under pressure'. |

Hips are a huge factor in Yoga practice. They involve a lot of
different movements and actions. So read on and get hip on hips! ;) |

| This may sound crazy, but yoga and running have a lot in common. They both require practice, agility, flexibility, patience and your own breathing method. |

As a seasoned triathlete addicted to long distance, I started experiencing lots of physical annoyances once I hit that 40-plus age mark. |

Translation: In Sanskrit, Paripurna means full or complete. Nava refers to boat. Nava is also the Sanscrit root of the English word “navy”. Asana, of course, means pose. Paripurna Navasana is the “full boat pose”. The posture resembles a boat with oars, thus it is named. |

| Yoga and sport are often seen in opposition, by nature of the quiet approach in yoga in contrast to the competitiveness of sport. In yoga we talk about practice, whereas in sport emphasis is placed upon training. What is most important however, is the attitude towards the development and the attainment of the individual's aim. |

Approaching middle age and beyond, we complain about losing our youth, vitality, and our firm and youthful-looking bodies. As we age, skin loses its resilience and begins to wrinkle and sag. Before we know it, our face is affected; excess skin gathers around our bellies and on the backsides of our arms. It reminds us that if we don’t do something soon, we’ll look much older than we feel.
