When we say Power Yoga, it can encourage you to think of different forms of Yoga, and that is why it is difficult to define what exactly it means. It is also named differently in different parts of the world, such as ‘Power Vinyasa Yoga’, ‘Hot Power Yoga’, etc.
What is Power Yoga exactly?
Power Yoga belongs to the modern style of yoga; it is adaptable and very dynamic. It teaches us that regardless of noise, hustle and bustle we need to enter the “flow” and be in tune with the body, mind and spirit… Movement confronts us with deeper programs and brings to the surface emotions and patterns of behavior to make us aware of and release them from the level of the body.
Power Yoga is a great combination of traditional asanas and breathing techniques that affect the awakening of our inner potentials.
These are exercises that strengthen and shape your body, increase flexibility in the joints, strengthen bones and encourage their endurance, perform detoxification at the cellular level and strengthen the resistance of your body.
Power yoga is designed to move the entire body system using the method of continuous movement and transition from one asana to another. This type of yoga is an intensive training because in addition to challenging positions, it also works on developing mental strength and will.
Where does it come from and how did
Power Yoga develop?
Power yoga is any of several forms of energetic Vinyasa yoga styles that developed as an exercise in America in the 1990s. This includes forms derived from Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga and forms derived from Bikram yoga.
The term “Power Yoga” became popular in the mid-1990s when two American yoga teachers, who studied with the Ashtanga guru, began to make what they learned more accessible to Western students. They also wanted to move away from the rigid sequence of Ashtanga, which is practiced as a predetermined series of poses that are always done in the same order.
Benefits that Power Yoga offers to its practitioners:
Increased tone and shapes muscles
Increased flexibility and mobility in the joints
Restored body flexibility
Strengthened the joint and bone system
Improved coordination between breathing and movement
Restored energy in the body
Increased concentration
Reduced and eliminated stress
Stabilized blood pressure
Improved circulation

Power Yoga experiences
Take a look at what our previous members,
have said about Power Yoga exercises:
I strengthened my back and regained my strength after the covid infection with yoga exercises!
“I have practiced yoga with Željka in the Power Yoga group for 2 years. When I first came to class, I had terrible back pain. My posture has improved, and I use breathing exercises daily.”
Ivana Stanković, doctor
My job is stressful, yoga classes are a way for me to relax my mind and keep my body vital!
“I have been practicing in the Power Yoga group for 2 years. Željka is an instructor who motivates us to push our limits. I became braver and bolder in performing more demanding positions.”
Dragana Radonjić, psychiatrist
I like Željka’s professionalism and the way she designs the class!
“I have been attending Power Yoga classes since 3 years ago. I tried several yoga and other exercise styles, but Power yoga won me over with its dynamism and detoxification techniques. I have rejuvenated myself and feel fantastic after every class.”
Suzana Mijić, museum curator
It is important to me that the instructor looks good and that she is consistent and does not push!
“I have known Željka since elementary school, she has always been involved in sports and training. I did handball for many years, and I know what commitment and training are. I have been practicing Power Yoga with Željka for the past 3 years, as I stopped my handball training due to a knee injury. Željka motivates me to train and reminds me to follow my body and respect boundaries.”
Gordana Jankovic, economist
I’m rushing from work to get to class with Željka!
“I often work the second shift, the gym is close to my workplace, my training equipment is packed, and everyone already knows I practice yoga.” I tried several styles of yoga with Željka, sometimes, a faster pace suits me, and sometimes a lighter one. Željka always finds a way to meet the needs of practitioners.”
Ana Janković, librarian
I have been practicing Power Yoga since 2014. I come to classes with my sister!
“I started Power Yoga classes with my sister in 2014. It’s our time! I enjoy training, I feel phenomenal after training, and the best part is that I’m not exhausted but full of energy.”
Jelena Marjanović, prof. of physics
We didn’t agree, but we go to yoga classes as a family!
“With a friend, I started Power Yoga classes 3 years ago. Yoga helped me overcome my problems and get back on my feet. We laugh a lot in class, and I go home relieved, even though power yoga training is often demanding. About a couple of months after starting with Yoga, my mother boasted that she had signed up for Hatha Yoga classes with Željka.”
Milica Ogrizović, teacher
I practice Power Yoga and feel more powerful and happier
“When I started practicing, I was in pain from holding the violin, which requires a specific body position. I was breathing shallowly and had little fainting spells and frequent dizziness. Intensa’s breathing techniques helped improve my circulation, and the pain disappeared.”
Jelena Ilić, violin teacher
