🔥 45-Minute Power Yoga Sequence: 10 Poses to Build Strength and Flexibility

Less chill. More challenge.

If you want yoga that tones your body and clears your mind—power yoga is the move.

This isn’t slow and stretchy. It’s strong, sweaty, and energizing. Think: longer holds, intentional breath, and movements that build heat, muscle, and control.

Whether you’re cross-training, getting back into shape, or just want to feel stronger from head to toe, this 45-minute flow hits all the right spots.

💥 What is Power Yoga?

Power yoga is a more athletic take on traditional vinyasa. You’ll:

• Hold poses longer
• Flow with more intensity
• Engage deep muscles
• Focus on strength, balance, and mobility

This isn’t about perfection—it’s about effort. Come as you are. Leave stronger.
