Power Yoga

Power yoga was born in 1995. The creator of power yoga is the American - Beryl Bender Birch. In principle, all the asanas of power yoga are taken and slightly modified from the ashtana of vinyasa yoga, therefore B. Birch is accused of plagiarism, and besides, he is also weaving his famous surname - "Bender".

The initial complexes of power yoga are not much different from the first classes in hatha yoga: you will develop legs and arms, back and hips. All this, in order to further freely own your body, "getting to know" with it, to proceed to the dynamics.

Exercises of power yoga for more advanced students are performed precisely dynamically. Perhaps, this is the reason for such a high popularity of this motor activity in America - a quick result, increased endurance , trained muscles.

Exercises

We will take the most basic set of exercises for power yoga, so that, first of all, you will have a good feel for your body.

1. We put our hands in the lock and stretch outwards. The coccyx was relaxed, we imagine that we are pushing the tail inside, like a frightened dog. Dynamically - we relax and we press the "tail" under ourselves. Gently stretched out to the side with the pre-tight "tail".
2. We return to the center, lean in front, parallel with the floor. Pull the pelvis back, beyond the foot line. They went down and hung. They stood on their toes, lengthened their backs, and returned to a position parallel to the floor.
3. They bent down and pressed their heads to their feet. They stretched upwards. Ladles gathered together, stood in parallel, gathered feet together. Legs on the toe, knees bend, buttocks on the heel. We carry the weight of the body forward to maximally stretch the socks.
4. Turned the hips outward, put the pelvis on the heels, knees apart. Align your back, tear your hands off the floor.
5. From the previous pose, we stretch our arms forward, our legs remain assembled, and then stretch out again with our spine.
6. Legs in the center, knees connect. Hands on the floor, straighten your knees, stretch down. We rise gently with a rounded back.
7. Standing on your feet, rolling on your toes, open your toes. We stand and fix the position. The abdomen is pulled up, the spine extends upwards.
8. We go down on the floor, legs crossed. Hands stretch forward, fingers tightly assembled together, elbow stretched. The palms are shoulder width apart, shoulders are pulled down, the back is straight. We work only with the wrists, we lower the palms down and return them upwards. Fingers are tight, do not bend them.
9. We open our fingers without changing the position of the hand. We lower your fingers down and return them upwards. The fingers are powerful and stretched to the end.
10. We gather our thumbs and hands into fists. The position of the hands does not change, the elbow is stretched. We lower our fists, raise them.
11. Hands straighten forward, with powerful fingers imagine how we squeeze a rubber ball in our fingers. Do the cuts with your fingers, as if we squeeze the ball.
