Yoga

We all live in the illusion of the three dimensional world…but deep inside, the meaning of life is to participate fully in the play…all the while knowing you are in the audience. Another way of seeing it is to live in the moment, stay present and participate fully in life…that is where Progressive Power Yoga is so valuable. Unlike Pilates, Spinning, Running, Swimming, Kickboxing or any other form of exercise, yoga provides a mental and spiritual component that is not found in the other exercise regimen. An actress may want to find the essential stimuli from which to draw at a key moment in her performance. An athlete may find themselves with time expanding as they must make the split second decision upon which everything rests. Again…that is where Progressive Power Yoga is without peers. It is an all-encompassing training regimen that consistently generates results that are unparalleled.
