power yoga
Athletic flow practice
Power yoga is a vigorous, fitness-oriented style of yoga emphasizing strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular conditioning over meditation or spiritual practice.
Unlike traditional yoga sequences, power yoga moves quickly between poses with minimal rest: I swapped my morning run for power yoga.
The style emerged in the 1990s as yoga adapted to Western gym culture.
