Take to the Mat Like a Pro with Power Vinyasa Yoga
In the past few years, Yoga has become a staple class offered at gyms everywhere. A standard, yet complex stretch routine centered around breathing practices, yoga is a relaxing but challenging way to get in a solid work out. In fact, everyone is jumping at the opportunity to get in on the Yoga craze. However, not many can say that they have had the opportunity to experience what Fitcorp Cross Point yoga instructor Darlene Pina calls, "the body's nature rhythm."
What Pina is referring to is Vinyasa Yoga, or a form of yoga that concentrates on your body's fluid flow through poses. It also doubles as a great muscular and cardiovascular endurance work out. It is something completely different and anyone at any fitness level can benefit from it. The class combines core strength, flexibility, balance and a meditative aspect that you reap the benefits of when you have finished the class. It is an intense hour of power class but once that hour has passed, you will feel relaxed but yet had a great workout from the inside out.
Offered Tuesday and Thursday nights at 5:30pm at Fitcorp's Cross Point location, Power Vinyasa Yoga is quickly becoming one of the gym's most popular classes. The class is designed to help each individual seek stillness of the mind so that the inner body can heal and strengthen. When you focus on your inner body, the outer body will naturally shine. Even though you are focusing on the inner you, make sure the outer you is ready to feel the burn!
"The room is mildly heated, so be prepared to sweat!" Pina says. "But don't worry, the first class is the hardest because you are there to learn what your body can and can’t do at that present moment."
Despite the challenge, most members who take this class once become permanent members.
Says a member of the class, "It is a very rigorous workout and for someone who has not taken yoga before or may have a biased opinion of a yoga class. They will be very pleasantly surprised and hooked after their first class experience. You will also see where the word “power” comes in to play and why it is called “power yoga”. Darlene is a great instructor and even if it is your first time she will make you feel right at home. All you have to do to prepare for her class is to show up, find a space and take it at your own pace."
Pina explains, "The best part of the class is not doing everything perfect but to just explore the possibilities of strength, endurance and inner peace. You will leave the class feeling toned, stretched and completely free in spirit. Namaste and see you on the mat!"
