Power Yoga is a vigorous style of yoga that evolved in the late 20th century, drawing inspiration from Ashtanga Yoga. It emphasizes physical strength, flexibility, and stamina through a series of challenging asanas performed in a continuous flow. Unlike the structured sequence of Ashtanga, Power Yoga allows for more flexibility in the sequence of asanas, enabling instructors to design varied and creative classes.

The practice often incorporates elements of traditional Hatha Yoga, while focusing on building muscle tone and cardiovascular fitness. Power Yoga classes typically involve a faster-paced and intense workout, accompanied by controlled breathing. This style appeals to individuals seeking a physically demanding and energizing practice, making it popular in fitness-oriented settings. Power Yoga's emphasis on strength and endurance contributes to improved overall fitness, making it accessible to practitioners with varying levels of yoga experience.
