Power yoga is an energetic, fitness-based strategy emphasizing suppleness & strength. It is a sinuous sequence of particular poses or asanas coordinated with breathing movements.
When one engages in vigorous power yoga practice it helps in sculpting the body, strengthening movements & toning muscles. Exclusively for the lower body, the stood-up postures of such a brisk workout would help to strengthen & slim the thighs whilst getting the leg areas fit. All posts are to be held for a minimum of 5 breaths & ensure repeating on either side.

Chair Pose
- It is a yoga variant of a squatted pose & a fine exercise to strengthen the complete lower body.
- Standing with one’s feet placed next to one another, the big toe areas making contact & heels placed to a slight distance away.
- Whilst engaging one’s abs, rounding one’s coccyx under & thighs to be pressing together, being seated back as though one were seated on a chair & lowering till one’s thighs are parallel-wise to the ground. Keeping one’s torso hoisted & as erect as doable whilst one raises one’s arms till they are parallel-wise to one’s ears.
Warrior Postures
Pose I
- It portrays strength (external as well as internal) & a perfect yoga pose to sculpt & tone body areas like the calf, thigh & ankle parts.
- Begin with feet placed close to one another & to point directly ahead.
- Stepping one’s right leg back three to four ft. & turning one’s right foot outwards around forty-five to sixty degrees.
- Pressing the backside of the right heel onto the floor, though ensure keeping it in a straightened line with the frontal heel.
- Now engaging abs, bending the frontal leg perpendicularly so that the thigh is parallel-wise to the ground.
- No sooner have the legs been secured in the apt position, rotating the upper body to the left & square the frontal part of one’s hips.
- Ensure keeping coccyx pointed downwards, hoisting arms so that they are parallel-wise to the ears whilst one slides one’s shoulders downwards one’s back, as one grounds down via the rear foot.
Pose II
- Not many postures are capable of beating this pose at boosting the strength of thigh & hip areas.
- One begins like that in a pose I, with the exception of the rear foot turned out perpendicularly so that the internal arch of the rear foot is in-line with the heel of the frontal foot.
- Ensure keeping the frontally placed leg bent perpendicularly.
- With shoulders held up strongly, stretching arms forming a letter T so that they are parallel-wise to the ground & in line with one’s legs, one must reach out to the fore of oneself whilst the other would extend behind.
- Legs are to be kept strong as one lowly inhales & exhales, gaping over one’s frontal fingers.
Elongated Side-Angle Pose
- It is a tricky though effective power yoga posture that really strengthens the thighs.
- Legs are to be kept in an analogous manner as in warrior pose II & extending one’s right arm straightened towards the roof & turning the inner part of the hand facing towards the head.
- While one is in a steady position, keep reaching the analogous arm on top of the backside of one’s right ear, with palms to face downwards toward the ground.
- A sturdy straightened line must be forming from the rear foot all the course up throughout the elongated fingers.
- One’s left elbow must be resting in a light manner over the left thigh. Holding & breathing.
