Benefits of Power Yoga Workouts for Enlightenment

What are the benefits of Power Yoga Workouts for spiritual seekers of Enlightenment? Power Yoga is a Hatha Yoga style focusing on fitness, core strength exercise, and burning calories; practiced in a studio class or through DVDs.

Power Yoga is an offshoot of Hatha Yoga which focuses on developing flexibility, strength, concentration, and self-control. Power yoga is one of the more physically challenging styles, and has the capacity to stand on its own as a lifelong fitness regimen. Power Yoga is a modified, shorter version of Ashtanga Yoga, but includes parts of other Yoga styles, like Iyengar, and Bikram.

Power Yoga focuses on proper form and breathing techniques. Sequences of poses are done fluidly with pauses for set durations at each pose.
