Power Yoga is a fitness-based Vinyasa practice. An offshoot of Ashtanga Yoga, it has many of the same qualities and benefits, including building internal heat, increased stamina, strength, and flexibility, as well as stress reduction. Teachers design their own sequences, while students synchronize their breath with their movement. The original Power Yoga was developed and founded by Beryl Bender Birch. But it gained popularity over the last decade or so and has been popular among celebs and fitness enthusiasts.
Next weekend, 24-year-old yoga instructor, Malavika Ananth will be hosting a workshop on Power Yoga at Backyard in Adyar. Malavika currently teaches Power Yoga at 136.1 Yoga Studio, Alwarpet. She turned to yoga two years ago to overcome depression and since then got hooked onto this ancient practice. Malavika is one of the youngest yoga instructors in Chennai and completed her certification course under Rohini Manohar from Chennai Yoga Studio, Anna Nagar.
At 136.1 Yoga Studio, she takes Power Yoga classes every alternate morning. According to her, yoga has improved her health, and also helped her channelise her emotions. Apart from yoga, she is a full time Math teacher.
