Greensboro Power Studios

Have you ever wondered what happens to your body during a Sun Salutation?

A Sun Salutation A, or Surya Namaskar A in Sanskrit, is a series of connected poses that move more like a meditation than an exercise.

Let’s break it down a bit more, shall we?

💪 You build strength and length at the same time. Plank and Chaturanga work your upper body and core. Up Dog opens your chest while engaging your glutes and back. Down Dog gives your hamstrings, calves, and shoulders a real stretch.

🧘 Your spine gets a tune-up. The constant back-and-forth between forward folds and backbends decompresses the spine, works out imbalances in your posture, and keeps your vertebrae mobile and healthy.

🫀🫁 Your heart and lungs wake up. A few rounds in, your heart rate climbs and blood flow increases, making Sun Salutations a surprisingly effective aerobic warm-up.

🍽️ Your digestive system gets some love. The compression from forward folds, combined with deep belly breathing, actually massages your internal organs which supports digestion.

🧘 Your nervous system settles. This is the piece we find most powerful: every movement is tied to a breath. That rhythm signals your body to downshift. Your cortisol drops, your mental clarity rises, and you feel genuinely energized rather than depleted.

It’s a total body reset.
And that’s why we do 108 of them on the summer solstice.
One to symbolize each breath you will take this season 🌞
One to symbolize infinity, the never ending cycle of beginning again ♾️

📆 June 21. You won’t want to miss it.

The GPS Summer Challenge is BACK and better than ever! 🏆

Starting today, the tracking chart goes up IN STUDIO. Simply add your name and make it official.

Starting Monday, May 26, track every GPS class you take between now and Labor Day (September 7). Hit milestones at 25, 50, 75, 100, and 125 classes and win prizes along the way.

But here’s the real prize: the person who shows up consistently all summer long is a different person by Labor Day. Stronger. More grounded. More capable than they thought. The challenge is just the fun, accountable way to get there.

Free for everyone — members, class pass holders, newcomers alike. This summer belongs to you. 💪

We talk a lot about what happens in the studio rooms, and for good reason, but some of our favorite moments happen in the cubby room, at the front desk, or in the parking lot before and after class.

Community is the whole point. The class is just where it starts.

If GPS has given you your people, we’d love to hear about it in the comments below ⬇️🤍
