Yoga Yoga Yoga Styles Beginners Poses & Workouts From Ann Pizer, your Guide to Yoga I had heard of the P90X home fitness program through pop culture references and its celebrity fans, but I had no idea until recently that it contained a yoga element. Curious, I got my hands on the yoga DVD and can now report my findings back to you. P90X Yoga P90X's yoga class is basically 90 minutes of power yoga. It's a pretty intense introduction for people who have never done yoga before.

Though many consider it to be "gym yoga," this style of practice was originally closely modeled on the Ashtanga method.

I picked up this warrior I trick, for which you will need a block, in class last week. Set up for the pose facing the wall with your toes right at the baseboard. Bend your front knee to come into the pose and position a block between your knee and the wall. The block acts like an extension of the wall so you can press into it and lower your thigh until it is truly parallel to the floor, a position we may shy away from without the prop. Rinse and repeat on the other side.
