Power Yoga is a system of yoga based around the ancient technique known as Ashtanga Vinyasa.
Power Yoga uses an extreme breath control (Pranayama) alongside a constant movement routine that generates a body heat thus allowing the maximum flexibility to be gained..
Anne Marie has been one of the foremost practitioners in Power Yoga and her work with sports personalities and sports people of all walks has created a yoga style that enhances performance and fitness way beyond the usual trainig regimes.
The style develops balance, strength and an amazing flexibility. As with all yoga styles, the physical asanas are but one part of a whole way of being with body mind health.
However as can be witnessed on the Power Yoga DVD - Power Yoga - that Anne Marie has made, the dynamic quality of this style is at the core of how effective it is when practiced.
Its similarity to Ashtanga yoga is very noticeable. However since all postures in Yoga are from the same root, this is not surprising.
If one was to compare a demonstration of Ashtanga Yoga as David Swenson does in his A+B Series, against the sort of work that is demonstrated in the Power Yoga DVD from Sun Power Yoga, it is the flow and grace that is one particular quality that stands out.
