Question Stall turn in Cessna 172?

Greetings fellow instructors,

I recently converted onto the C172 and together with my patter instructor, did stall turns in the 172. I was very uneasy with the idea but after the first one the temptation to go faster and flicking it in more aggressively was hard to resist. I'd like to continue doing this but am unsure about the stress imposed on the aircraft. Due to the fact that I'm going over the top with full power, I'm a bit unsure of the limits imposed due to gyroscopic properties of the propellor and the slow speed that we're going into the turn. Any advise?
