Power Yoga

It moves quickly: Power Yoga is definitely an intense workout. Prepare to work hard and work up a sweat! It's great for strength training: Other forms of yoga may be ideal for flexibility and meditation, but in Power Yoga, you lift and hold your entire body's weight constantly. These classes incorporate a serious number of Vinyasas, and they're definitely going to get your entire body into gear. For one, your arms will definitely feel the burn from all those Chaturangas! It makes you feel energized: There's a reason that so many people leave Power Yoga classes saying that they're feeling a little "blissed out." While I've left many a relaxing yoga class feeling happy, just wanting to take a bath and get into bed, Power Yoga classes always leave me feeling calm but with an extra little skip in my step!

ASK ABOUT Little Yogi classes. Yep! Tara teaches yoga to children of all ages as well! Yoga is amazing and fun for children! According to the Yoga Journal: Children derive enormous benefits from yoga. Physically, it enhances their flexibility, strength, coordination, and body awareness. In addition, their concentration and sense of calmness and relaxation improves. Doing yoga, children exercise, play, connect more deeply with the inner self, and develop an intimate relationship with the natural world that surrounds them. Yoga brings that marvelous inner light that all children have to the surface.
