Power yoga is a more dynamic version of traditional yoga. It's faster, more intense, and the focus is more on building strength and less on meditation or chanting. Power yoga can be described as a vigorous, fitness-based approach to vinyasa-style yoga (Power Yoga uses any of several forms of energetic vinyasa-style yoga as exercise developed in America in the 1990s). Also, Power Yoga incorporates the athleticism of Ashtanga, and gives each teacher the flexibility to teach any poses in any order, making every class different. Also, if you are a beginner, you can certainly try power yoga. However, it is not recommended for everyone. Many beginners would feel more comfortable in a slower-paced class where the instructor can talk through each pose.
