When people ask me what makes Baptiste Power Yoga unique, my answer is simple: the Journey Into Power sequence.
This isn’t just a random collection of poses. It’s a carefully designed flow that creates strength, balance, and transformation—every single time you practice it.
The Origins of Journey Into Power
I developed Journey Into Power after years of practicing and teaching different styles of yoga. I wanted something universal—accessible to beginners, challenging for advanced practitioners, and adaptable to every body.
The result was a sequence that works in any setting: a heated studio, your living room, or even outdoors on a patch of grass. Wherever you roll out your mat, Journey Into Power will meet you there.
The Structure of the Sequence
Journey Into Power is built around 11 series of postures, each with a clear purpose:
- Integration – Grounding through breath and awareness.
- Awakening – Sun Salutations that heat the body and build presence.
- Vitality – Twists and balance postures to create energy and detoxify.
- Equanimity – Standing poses that build strength, focus, and balance.
- Grounding – Hip openers and longer holds to release tension.
- Igniting – Core work that builds fire in the belly.
- Stability – Backbends that expand the heart and open new space.
- Opening – Forward folds that create surrender and release.
- Release – Inversions that flip perspective.
- Rejuvenation – Restorative poses that restore energy.
- Deep Rest – Final relaxation, savasana, integration.
Every class follows this arc. You build heat, you challenge yourself, you release resistance, and you leave renewed.
Why It Works
The power of Journey Into Power lies in its consistency and adaptability.
- Consistent structure creates a reliable framework. You always know what’s coming, which frees you to go deeper.
- Adaptable intensity means the same sequence works for an athlete, a beginner, or a lifelong yogi. You scale it up or down depending on your edge.
- Universal design makes it teachable worldwide. From Nairobi to New York, students experience the same transformational sequence.
More Than Poses
Journey Into Power isn’t just physical. It’s a training ground for life.
- When you hold a difficult pose, you build resilience.
- When you focus on breath, you build presence.
- When you meet your edge, you learn how to stay instead of run.
This is what makes the sequence transformational. It’s not about “getting the pose right.” It’s about who you become while practicing it.
The Global Impact
Today, the Journey Into Power sequence is practiced daily in Baptiste studios, affiliate programs, and trainings worldwide. It has been taught:
- In Level One & Level Two Baptiste Yoga trainings
- At immersions and retreats in Tulum, Iceland, Kenya, Bali, Costa Rica, and more
- By thousands of Baptiste-trained teachers across the globe
This shared sequence creates a common language. No matter where you practice, you are part of something bigger—a worldwide community committed to growth and transformation.
A Message from Me
I didn’t create Journey Into Power to add another style of yoga to the world. I created it to give people a practice that works—anytime, anywhere, for anyone.
When you step onto your mat, you step into possibility. The sequence will challenge you, support you, and change you—if you let it.
So roll out your mat. Step in. And experience the journey into power for yourself.
