" Sun Power Yoga is an eclectic mix of three traditional styles. Iyengar - for alignment. Sivananda - for Subtle Mind and Breath Work. Astanga - for Heat, Flexibility, Strength and Stamina. This form I developed firstly for my own training, and then for my classes. It encompasses the classical Sun Salute (Surya Namaska) as the skeleton. With my dance background I saw this as an opportunity to pull together many techniques, ideas and idioms.
