Breathe, move, and find your flow

Forget the idea that yoga is just sitting still. Power and Vinyasa Yoga are powerful, dynamic classes where sweat is guaranteed. The core? 'Flow'. You move from one pose to another to the rhythm of your breathing.

At the USC, we offer both styles. Vinyasa Yoga is like a dance: poses flow into each other, supported by conscious breathing. You find balance and peace, while your muscles are working hard. Power Yoga takes it a step further: here we connect fitness with yoga. Less spirituality, more muscle strength, stamina, and heat. Whichever style you choose, you leave the room stronger and with a clear mind.

All about Power/Vinyasa Yoga

What is the difference between Vinyasa and Power Yoga?

Vinyasa is fluid and focuses on the connection between breath and movement (meditative in movement). Power Yoga is often faster, more physical, and less focused on the spiritual aspect. Think of it as yoga with a fitness edge.

Do I need to bring my own mat?

Yes, we strongly recommend bringing your own yoga mat for hygiene reasons. Don't have one? Then you can borrow one from the USC (please clean it thoroughly afterwards!).

Can I enter late?

No. The class often starts with a short meditation or focus moment. To not disturb the peace and concentration ('flow') of the group, entry after the start time is not possible. So make sure you are on time!
