They say yoga is gentle, but I’m here to tell you—it can torch calories like nobody’s business. Forget the slow, meditative flows; this Power Hour Yoga Session is about intensity, heat, and endurance. In one hour, I push my limits, crank up the sweat factor, and burn up to 1,000 calories.
Set an intention!
In yoga, you set an intention at the beginning of your practice. As a Christian, I like to choose bible verses that can lead my practice- and day- in a positive direction. Here are some of my favorites:
- Psalm 16:9 – “Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.“
- 2 Timothy 1:7 – “For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”
And yes, I turn my yoga space into a personal inferno using a space heater in a small room (think hall bath or closet size) to crank up the temperature and boost my calorie burn. This isn’t just yoga; this is heat-fueled, sweat-drenched, endurance-boosting madness.
Pssst. Have you bought a yoga mat yet?
🔥 The Setup: My At-Home Inferno 🔥
☀️ Space Heater On Full Blast – Small rooms trap heat fast, making this a mini hot yoga studio.
💧 Hydration Ready – If you don’t drink enough water, this session will humble you.
🎶 High-Energy Music – Think bass-pumping beats to keep the pace.
🧘 No Breaks, No Excuses – Continuous flow, strength, and endurance.
