Is power yoga suitable for beginners?

 The problem with power yoga and beginning yoga students is the lack of instruction on the alignment of the postures. I would highly recommend practicing power yoga with other styles that focus on alignment (Iyengar, Kripalu) or using the asana section at yogabasics.com or a yoga book to study the individual postures in detail.

A good video for power yoga is Living Yoga: Power Yoga: Stamina

Ahimsa, the yogic practice of non violence must be adhered to when engaging in the practice of hatha yoga. Respect your body's limitations and inner wisdom, if something feels wrong or dangerous, please do not do it.

Please consult your health care practitioner before starting a yoga, pranayama or other exercise program.
