Power Yoga

crow poseBAM!
Probably not for beginners, believe me, it takes practice..but if I can do it, you can too! Power Yoga is my favorite class to teach. There is nothing better than pushing yourself to the limit physically and mentally. It challenges both your strength and flexibility, but best of all, it totally clears your mind. It recharges your brain and your body, and rejuvenates your soul. So if you haven’t already tried it, do it NOW! lol
