Power yoga is focused on building strength and endurance. It is also an excellent form of yoga for burning calories.

A hot room creates a sauna-like environment, bringing your mind to the present while helping you unwind and de-stress. The heat gives your heart and lungs a harder workout, and just like non-heated yoga, you can improve your strength and flexibility.
Just like any workout, you need to know how to stay safe and injury-free. Hot yoga can feel overwhelming or too stuffy for beginners, which is why it's important to ease into it and know what to expect and what to do if you feel overheated or fatigued. Here are a few tips:

* Stay hydrated: Drink water before, during, and after class.
* Tune into your body: You always have the option of stepping out of class to get fresh air and cool down.
Talk to your doctor if you have pre-existing conditions: If you have a history of fainting due to low blood pressure or have a heart condition, make sure you have a conversation with your doctor first. The same applies if you're pregnant.

Vinyasa is a style of yoga characterized by stringing postures together so that you move from one to another, seamlessly, using breath.
Commonly referred to as “flow” yoga, it is sometimes confused with “power yoga“.

Vinyasa classes offer a variety of postures and no two classes are ever alike.

The variable nature of Vinyasa Yoga helps to develop a more balanced body as well as prevent repetitive motion injuries that can happen if you are always doing the same thing every day.

Students follow a set sequence of postures each time, gradually progressing through the series. Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga emphasizes the linking of movement and breath (vinyasa), Ujjayi breathing, and bandhas (energy locks).

Ashtanga Yoga is a system of yoga said to be derived from an ancient manuscript called the Yoga Korunta. The text of the Yoga Korunta was imparted to Sri T. Krishnamacharya around the 1900s who then taught it to his student Sri K. Pattabhi Jois. Jois then used this as the basis for Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga which he started teaching in 1948.
In this style of class, you will expect hands-on adjustments and modifications.
