Biography
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 wellknown, 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. For articles by Bryan and more information about

Power Yoga Master Class Description:
Bryan Kest’s Power Yoga Master Class is a well-rounded flowing asana practice
integrating mental practices that enhance everyday living. The class is intended to
invigorate your body and help you practice developing a calm, less reactive state of
mind with dynamic flowing routines. In a Power Yoga workshop, you are encouraged
to focus on the process and not the end result. This allows ALL levels of yoga
practitioners to enjoy and benefit from the workshop.
A Power Yoga Master Class typically includes:
• 1 hour lecture about basic philosophy and fundamentals
• 2 hour physical practice incorporating principles from the lecture
•
Long Slow Deep Class Description:
This class is similar to a Yin Yoga Class, where you hold the poses for several minutes.
You stretch the deeper layers of your muscles which also leads to deep relaxation and
calmness.
