Power Yoga

Balance, flexibility and mental focus are skills that are extremely important in the unpredictable and unstable environments we tend to find ourselves in, Such as those found in most life situations. Fortunately these skills, like other skills, are trainable. If the mind is anxious and the body is rigid, movements are will be slow and choppy and reaction time delayed. When faced with stressful daily life situations, the body may become physically, emotionally and mentally fatigued. This is when serious accidents, and illness can occur.

Power Yoga incorporates balance, flexibility, strength and mental focus with dynamic movement in order to enhance communication between mind and muscle. Movements become graceful yet powerful; the body becomes strong yet supple; and the mind becomes calm and composed even in the midst of chaos.

At Yoga Revolution and Fitness, we take an inside out approach to power yoga training. This means we start by developing a strong foundation and then progressively work through the entire body. Nothing is overdeveloped or overlooked; every nook and cranny of the body, visible or not, is strengthened and lengthened with balance in mind. The asanas (postures) combined with the pranayama (breathing) will release the unlimited potential that is already contained within you. Power yoga is not about building big muscles and contortionism; rather, power yoga will ignite your spirit and transform not just your body, but also your life.

Core Yoga
An individual is said to be only as strong as his or her weakest link. For most individuals, this weakness occurs at their core, within the body's deep stabilizing muscles.

The core muscles are engaged to stabilize and protect the body during movements where balance is challenged, such as running, jumping, hiking, golfing, climbing, stopping, and preventing slips and falls. Often, when the core muscles are weak, the posture is poor. As such, internal movement is sacrificed and often accompanied by pain in the lower back or lower limbs.

During a Core Yoga class, Power Yoga asanas (postures) are combined with traditional Pilates principles to create unrestricted flowing movement, which strengthens the deep core muscles. A toned midsection is just one of the many side benefits from taking this class; the true reward is the internal focus that can be achieved.

 Sport Yoga

Flexibility is defined as the range of motion at a given joint. Through years of training, injuries, improper posture, weak core muscles and the one-sided dominant nature of sport, the range of motion in a joint can be drastically reduced.

A joint's full range of motion is required for quick, powerful movements. A fast running or skating stride depends on the length of the stride, not the number of strides per minute. A powerful slap shot, pitch or golf swing depends on the range of motion of the shoulders, back and hips; and only a supple flexible body will recoil after an unexpected slip, fall or serious accident without feeling the effects either right away or years later.

Traditional strength training can overlook the realities of our day-to-day life and athletic challenges. Overdeveloped tight muscles can create strain on the ligaments and joints, thus restricting normal movement. Often a tight hamstring can cause a low back injury, a tight quad or knee injury.

During a Sport yoga class, unrestricted flowing movement, combined with a conscious breath and bhandas (contractions of the deep stabilizing muscles of the core) re-educate the body into moving the way it was intended, free from the tension, restriction and injury that can occur from traditional strength training and real world workday routines. 

Forget feeling tired and ridged; after our Sport Yoga classes your body will feel invigorated and free.
