+ Does Power Yoga Incorporate Meditation?
We are having you meditate the whole time you are in class…without you realizing it. A more vigorous class is not necessarily less meditative than a slower, mellow class. The ingredients for creating a meditative state are the integrity of the teacher, and the focused attention the student brings to the practice on any one thing at a time; such as your breath.
