About Yoga
At the Blue Moon Yoga Center we believe Yoga is the science of self-
empowerment, of self-transformation.  
Yoga is different that any other type of exercise.  To begin with, Yoga is non-
competitive.  Yoga is about constantly being aware of the body, of how we
feel, and of what we really need.  Yoga develops and creates clarity in the
way we perceive ourselves not only physically but psychologically and
spiritually.   Yoga means "
to unite, to join together, to balance".  To
practice yoga then is to bring balance and integration to all that we are,
body, mind and soul.  According to yoga philosophy, a strong, healthy body
leads to a balanced, calm mind and spirit.  A regular practice of yoga will
reduce imbalances and gradually will increase our strength and flexibility as
well as it will help us achieve a calm focused mind and  inner peace.

About Power Yoga.  
At blue moon Yoga Center we have a commitment to preserving the
Ashtanga and Power Yoga tradition as one of the most effective, proven
methods to develop a Yoga practice. Power Yoga was created by Yoga
Master Bryan Kest and it is based on the Ashtanga and Viniyoga traditions.
Power Yoga is a vigorous type of yoga that combines poses, movements and
deep breaths to achieve the highest level of health, energy and vitality. The
intensity of the training is determined by our own physical abilities.  Close
attention to the body guides our practice as we aim to develop strength and
flexibility.  The level of challenge is personal, it has to be sensitive and non-
competitive as we listen to and honor the body.   As we responsibly learn to
work with ourselves, not forcing but being aware of our limitations, we
achieve physical strength,flexibility, stamina, endurance, healing,
awareness, relaxation, and mental and emotional strength.
