Are you ready… for yoga?
On average, most people associate yoga with gentle stretching and meditation, but did you know that when done properly, it can actually be a great fat burning workout? With Power Yoga, a form of Ashtanga yoga that was popularized in the 1990s, you’re able to work up a sweat in a relatively short amount of time-which is great for those of us looking to balance the demands of work and home with the desire to live a healthy lifestyle.
The main goal behind Power Yoga is increasing strength and endurance in participants by ramping up the intensity of a traditional yoga routine. This means that you should expect your Power Yoga session to include lots of movement between poses (to help to keep your heart rate up) as well as more physically demanding poses (to help build strength). Below, you’ ll find a sample, 20 minute Power Yoga routine. It requires no props, except for a yoga mat, which means that you can do it anytime or anywhere! As with all exercise routines, you should consult your physician before attempting it.
Sun Salutation Power Yoga Routine
The Sun Salutation is quite possibly the most famous sequence of poses in all of yoga and is a great way to frame your Power Yoga routine. Unlike a traditional Sun Salutation, which is only meant to be one part of a yoga routine, this sequence includes extra yoga poses meant to test the limits of your strength and endurance and constitutes a full fat burning workout.
