Baptiste Power Yoga

What Is ‘Baptiste Power Yoga’?

There are two well successful American yoga instructors by the name of Baptiste, Baron Baptiste and Sherri Baptiste Freeman. They are brother and sister, and each has developed a style of teaching yoga. Growing up in San Francisco their household was dedicated to yoga, physical fitness and healthy living. The Baptiste siblings studied yoga from childhood and this is why when people refer to Baptiste Yoga, they are referring to Baron Baptiste's method, called Power Vinyasa Yoga. This form of yoga emphasizes more personal power and empowerment and teaches controlled breathing.
