Massive thanks to my beautiful wife, Jillian, for all her support during the exciting (and sometimes stressful) process of writing my first book. Im so glad you came to my Pilates class back in 2007 and I wasted no time in asking you out! I lives you.
To my parents, Bob and Beverly, and my sister Kim; you guys have always been my rock through the years (even during my twelve wild years in professional theater), and I love you very much. They all attend my classes when they visit and really love when I tell them to do Planks.
Big shout-out to my two best friends, SS and Peter. You guys have always pushed me to learn and grow not just my business but myself as a person, and I thank God for you every day. Youre gonna scare the hell out of those guys!
To my photographer, Terri, and our two gorgeous models, Katelynn and Matt. You guys were so professional, fun, and patient as we made the bold choice to put more poses in this book than any other yoga book in history! Thank you for all your hard work.
To Bonnie Bauman for your invaluable help with proofreading and fixing my grammatical errors.
And finally to Jessica at Fair Winds Press, who found and offered me the amazing opportunity to write this book. Youve been a real joy to work with, and thanks for putting up with my occasional bouts of being overwhelmed.

WARM-UP AND FOCUS
Your journey to a stronger, fitter, and more flexible body begins here. In these essential warm-up poses youll find the door to escape into your power yoga workout. An effective warm-up can increase the blood flow to the working muscles, which results in decreased muscle stiffness, reduced risk of injury, and improved physical and mental performance. Every pose in this book begins with a breath, so make sure youre always breathing into your deep abdominals to drown your muscles in oxygen. To make sure your breath is going to the right spot, place your fingers around your belly button, and breathe in and out of your nostrils for five seconds. If your stomach pooches out, youre in the right spot! Spread that breath into your sides and lower back too for maximum oxygen uptake. Keep breathing in a steady rhythm. The deeper you breathe, the more energy, focus, and strength you will have. When learning these poses, I recommend holding each for five to ten deep breaths or thirty to sixty seconds for maximum mind/body connection. Ready to get started? Lets go!
(Tadasana)
Stand tall! This is the pose to bring your mind, body, and spirit into your power yoga practice by adjusting your posture, tuning out the world, and turning your attention to your breath.
Stand with your feet hip-width apart and your arms at your sides.
Roll your shoulders back and down to create space between your ears and shoulders while tucking your chin slightly. Imagine gently holding an orange between your chin and your chest to open up the back of your neck and relax your jaw.
Breathe deep into your abdominal muscles for five to ten deep breaths, and give them a little squeeze as you exhale to get them fired up for whats to come.
Target body areas:
feet, ankles, quadriceps, hamstrings, and core.
Sports it benefits
(Urdhva Hastasana)
Stretch your sides, strengthen your thighs, and loosen up your spine with Side Bend.
From Mountain, inhale and extend your right arm, and exhale as you bend to the left.
Keeping your shoulders down and back, inhale and return to the center as you drop your right arm and extend your left.
Exhale and extend your left arm as you sway to the left.
Repeat five times on each side with deep breathing.
Target body areas:
feet, ankles, quadriceps, obliques, sides, and spine.
Sports it benefits
(Anuvittasana)
Heres a great pose to relieve stress in your lower back and open up your abdominals.
From Mountain, inhale and extend both arms up, while bringing your fingertips together.
As you exhale, gently bend backward, while keeping your shoulders relaxed and your thighs engaged.
Inhale and return to the standing position. Repeat five times, while taking deep breaths. You may hold the pose longer if desired.
Modification: Place your hands on your lower back for more support.
Target body areas:
feet, ankles, quadriceps, core, and chest.
