Bryan Kest PowerYoga.com Class

Bryan Kest has been practicing yoga since 1979 and has been teaching since 1985. He developed his unique, distinctive style of yoga, Original Power Yoga, in 1979. Over the years, this style, an amazing workout for the body, mind and spirit, has made him a well-known, popular teacher across the country and around the world. His mainstream popularity is matched by an authentic foundation in the ancient practice of yoga and a long path of development as a yogi (a practitioner of yoga). At age 15, Bryan uprooted from his native Detroit home to make a life change in Hawaii. He moved to live with his father, a doctor, who understood the benefits of yoga. Like many of us, Bryan originally thought yoga was nothing more than strange contortions, but that changed when his father introduced him to a physical style of yoga called Ashtanga. This appealed to him immediately, and he soon observed great changes in himself, both physically and mentally. Yoga quickly became his passion, one that would take him to India for a year to study with the great yoga masters of the world, Pattabhi Jois. He has been continuing on his yoga path ever since.

Bryan founded and teaches at two studios in Santa Monica, CA. He also teaches at workshops and retreats around the world; provides an intensive teachers training program; and is featured in his own Warner Brothers video series from 1995, as well as a newer video series and audio CD series. His most recent endeavor is www.PowerYogaonDemand.com. This on-line tool features streaming video of Bryan’s classes in Santa Monica, which are recorded live and streamed to students around the world.

Lila (life of yoga)

Govindas and Radha are California-based kirtan singers, and as their spiritual names suggest -”servants of the divine”. They are the directors/owners of Bhakti Yoga Shala in Santa Monica CA. They are a husband and wife team and their commitment to love, service, and devotion is the essence which is reflected and transmitted through their music. Through repetitously chanting the names of God/Goddess from ancient India, Govindas and Radha will guide you on a musical meditation and yogic ritual deep into the essence of Bhakti—the yoga of the Heart, the yoga of Love and Devotion. Their music is best described as a “trance inducing mandala where voices open, hearts expand, and meditation, devotion, prayer and music merge together as One.” They lead evenings of kirtan, bhakti yoga workshops, and transformative retreats throughout the world. http://bhaktiyogashala.com/ or https://www.facebook.com/govindasandradha

“Students have the power to take hold of the present moment, it’s rarity to pause, I hope that each class I teach provides a space for students to pause, feel warmth from the inside, true deep love and lightness of the spirit.”

Three words that describe me: warm, playful, happy

Three things that make me smile: my husband, live music and sunshine

Three things I could do without: my car, a 40-hour work week, house chores.

The legacy I hope to leave behind: that love will prevail, smiling never hurt anyone,
if you can talk you can chant.

“Once we begin to celebrate our imperfections the light that resides within begins to burn brighter. All that is left to feel is the connection of deep love and lightness in your spirit.”

MIKE KONRAD

“BE the first and most powerful source of inspiration for yourself,” is a constant theme in Mike’s classes. He always empowers his students to find strength in their practice. Mike is a true believer that unlimited power is within each of his students; all they have to do is believe to uncover it. He allows his students to inspire themselves so that they can then inspire everyone around them.

His classes are hot, spiritual and challenging – both physically and mentally. He provides a space for all levels of practitioners to challenge themselves to make a conscious choice to take one step forward on their yoga path with strength and courage. Be ready to chant, flow, and fall into the energy of all the powerful yogis around you in Mike’s class.

Mike’s yoga journey has been nothing short of amazing and completely fulfilling. Yoga healed a major shoulder injury for Mike, has given him lifelong friends, and has blown his heart wide open. He is devoted to the wonderful yoga community in Denver and is completely humbled to teach to so many dedicated yogis each week. The transition from practicing to teaching was very natural for Mike, and he feels that teaching is his way of passing the gifts of yoga to everyone around him.

Mike has coached many 200 hour power yoga teacher training programs which is a constantly reminder for him how powerful it is to take the seat of a student. He draws immeasurable amounts of inspiration from his students. He also believes that a strong teacher teaches what they have been taught, and an even stronger one teaches what they have learned, which is why he is on his mat any chance he gets. Mike’s teaching style is influenced by many classes and workshops with teachers like Janet Stone, Rusty Wells, Jonny Kest, Ana Forrest, and Les Leventhal.
