Power Yoga is an energetic, fitness-based approach to Vinyasa yoga that combines strength, flexibility, and mindful movement in a fast-paced, athletic flow. Designed for those who want to move, sweat, and stretch all in one dynamic class, Power Yoga links breath and movement to create a total-body workout that builds both physical and mental resilience.
