Dynamic Yoga in Portland
The "Afterburn Effect" is the bodies response to intense exercise allowing it to consume more calories for hours and even days after class. Often achieved through High Intensity Interval Training. In our sequence it is achieved through slow controlled movements over multiple muscle groups engaged/ targeted in a single session. Maintaining a good diet on the day of class and for the following 48 hours enables best results.

Elements for Afterburn in Yoga
Elements for Afterburn
Intensity and Duration:
Combining strength sequences with sustained periods of movement elevates heart rate and overall practice vigor.
Dynamic Sequences: Flowing from one strength pose to another with minimal rest in between maintains an elevated heart rate. Especially when executing sequences that simultaneously engages multiple muscle groups further enhances this effect.
Compound Movements: Movements involving more than one muscle group increase overall caloric burn. Examples include Plank to Chaturanga (Low Pushup): Involves the chest, shoulders, triceps, and core.
Core Engagement: Emphasizing core strength throughout sequences enhances overall body stability contributing to increased energy expenditure.

Strength-Building Poses:
Incorporating poses to build strength in upper and lower body sequences, such as planks, and double warrior, increases muscle engagement and metabolic demand. Strength Building
is following a progressive approach.
Compound Movements: Movements involving more than one muscle group increase overall caloric burn. Examples include Plank to Chaturanga (Low Pushup): Involves the chest, shoulders, triceps, and core.
Core Engagement: Emphasizing core strength throughout sequences enhances overall body stability contributing to increased energy expenditure.
Benefits of This Approach:
1. Heart Rate:
A higher heart rate through most of the class sustains the afterburn effect.
2. Muscle Engagement:
Engaging several muscle groups simultaneously increases overall metabolic demand.
3 Caloric Burn:
A higher caloric burn during and after class.
What to Expect:
Foundation Leg Sequence
Our class incorporates the Yoga with Perumal Retreat Method's Foundation Leg Sequence to unlock your lower back for the core engaged plank sequences. This sequence, highlighted in Yoga Journals within Italy and France, focuses on strengthening the quads and glutes while opening the lower back.
We start with seated and standing Preparation Sets, focused on warming up the hips which then reduces knee strains. The Foundation Leg Sequence opens the iliopsoas muscle group, unlocking the hips and lower back. Progressing through this sequence stretches and opens our bodies through strength postures. This is one of the safest ways to stretch. This sequence stabilizes the knees while preparing the body for more challenging standing twisting postures.

Arm Balances
The arm balance sequence blends perfectly with the foundation leg sequence. The Foundation Legs ensures your lower back is open thus guarding against lower back strains that sometimes come from arm balances. This series is performed with the core warm and active.
We work comprehensive neck, shoulder, scapula, and wrist preparations. These preparations are crucial for engaging the muscles of the arms, chest, and shoulders effectively to keep those joints safe.
Our approach to arm sequences includes both isometric exercises, like holding a plank, and isotonic exercises, moving from plank to chaturanga (Low Pushup) for example. We emphasize the importance of joint preparation and progressive strength building. By practicing holding postures first, we strengthen the joints, making them ready for transitional movements that follow gravity's direction..
