About the Teacher
Why study with them?
Bryan Kest has been practicing yoga since 1979, starting when he was 14-years-old in Hawaii with David Williamsand Brad Ramsey in the 2nd ashtanga yoga class in the world outside of India, known today as being a pioneer of bringing Ashtanga yoga to America, and the creator of one form of Power Yoga. “My primary objective”, says Kest, “besides turning more and more people on to a healthier, more peaceful lifestyle that continually challenges them to grow, is to teach a system of exercise that fully integrates the body, mind, and spirit. The new trend towards yoga is not surprising, given that the body is limited and the mind is limitless. The combination of body and mind creates an incredibly broad range of fulfillment, including top physical condition and a calm, peaceful, clear mind. ”Founder of Santa Monica Power Yoga, and now based in Ojai, California, Kest leads yoga classes, retreats & workshops worldwide.
