Power Yoga ‘Cross Train’

About This Class

This Power Yoga Cross Train class opens in Child's Pose to settle the mind and establish Ujjayi breath before progressing through a structured warm-up of Sunbird, Cobra, and Downward Dog. The standing flow builds steadily through repeated Sun Salutation rounds with Chair Pose, Crescent Lunge, Warrior One, Warrior Two, Reverse Warrior, Extended Side Angle, Triangle Pose, and Half Moon — challenging balance, leg strength, and full-body coordination. A Chair Twist sequence rings out the spine before the class transitions to the floor for Camel Pose, Bound Angle forward fold, Boat Pose, Bridge (with an optional Wheel/Upward Bow variation), and supine hip openers including Thread the Needle and Reclining Twist. The practice closes in Savasana with an emphasis on dissolving stress and restoring the body. Throughout, the instructor frames the class as a tool for cross-training, stress reduction, and building a consistent practice habit, with particular attention to hip and hamstring opening, spinal mobility, and core engagement.
