Power Vinyasa Yoga is said to be over 5,000 years old, it forms from the eight limbs of yoga:    

(1) Yamas – Universal conduct and restraints 
(2) Niyama – Personal observances and disciplines         
(3) Asanas – Physical body postures     
(4) Pranayama – Breathing system         
(5) Pratyahara – Control of the senses       
(6) Dharana – Concentration and cultivating inner perceptual awareness
(7) Dhyana – Meditation  
(8) Samadhi – Union, pre presence and experience of truth.

So now Show Up and Enjoy! As you begin your Yogic journey, be gentle with yourself. Practicing is a lifelong process that will evolve as will your power, strength and flexibility. Give yourself enough space to grow and time to learn. Pace yourself and trust your body.

Feeling fear or uneasiness? So what! Like riding a bike, swimming or anything else that you do for the first time you may feel like a fish out of water. It may take a few classes but it is worth the short-term uneasiness. The great thing about yoga is you always participate from where you are, from your ability, your truth or satya (Sanskrit for truth), so it is only as difficult as you make it! Just let go and relax with what is.

Thinking you’re not flexible or strong? So what! 
A concern for many first time students is their physical inflexibility or lack of strength. You don’t need to be physically flexible or strong. You only need to be mentally flexible and determined. Just show up and focus on letting go, breathing, moving, and respecting your limitations. A yoga pose will expose your weaknesses and strengths. We learn so much from our weaknesses and become so much stronger by accepting them and working through them rather than running from them. You will be amazed that as soon as you release the rope, the tension in your body and mind will too and your range of motion and strength will increase.

Worried about your level or experience compared to others? Don’t be! Yoga is about your own personal practice and experience. It is not helpful to compete with anyone around you or with yourself. Yoga is about melting away of the ego. Through yoga you are encouraged to practice acceptance and non-judgment for where you are. That is where you begin. You are where you are. Accept your limitations and strengths, they are what they are. Be challenged by discovering what your body needs in each pose. We learn to be connected to our bodies through pranayama (Sanskrit for breath work) and to be in the present moment.
