Power Yoga Moves

Yoga is among the best options for men wanting to combine physical fitness with mental health. It helps you in weight-loss, keeping a cool mind, look good and also feel good as it energizes you from within.

The latest trend in the fitness world, especially among celebrities like Richard Gere, Madonna and our very own Kareena Kapoor, though is Power Yoga: called so because of the sharper, more intense exercise moves this advanced and slightly Americanized form of Yoga requires one to perform.

You too can learn simple but effective power yoga moves to strengthen your body and get in shape by following a few basic exercise forms; breathe out slowly and move forward in a leaping motion, taking your right leg behind you to meet the left so its akin to a high push-up move for performing ‘The Plank.’

The next exercise requires you to slowly lower your body into a less intense push-up movement, called the Upward facing dog; here you need to keep your feet a little off the ground, while your arms are straight so you can easily and slowly raise your upper body in order for your chest and pelvic portion to stay poised above the floor. Hold the position for a few seconds and exhale.

For the Downward Facing Dog, simply curl your toes while arching your back so your face is inwards towards your stomach while you deeply inhale and going down on all fours, repeat the series on the other side.

Do the pigeon power yoga move by aligning your body from the above exercise into a comfortable position with the right knee brought forward towards upper body and then turned out to the right so the knee is on the ground; keeping right knee straight in front of right hip so shin is parallel to the carpet, exhale slowly. A variation to this is the inverted pigeon power yoga exercise: get down on your back and cross right foot over the left knee so you can raise your legs close to your torso and stretch towards right hip.
