Weekend Workshop with Bryan Kest

LEARN FROM THE CREATOR OF POWER YOGA

Leading yoga teacher and longtime practitioner, Bryan Kest, returns to Kripalu to offer a Power Yoga weekend workshop. Bryan will lead you through a strong, well-rounded, yet accessible physical practice that leaves your body vibrating with vitality while simultaneously challenging your mind.

Bryan teaches that because the physical practice of yoga is such a fertile environment for various mind states to arise, it offers a unique opportunity to strengthen the characteristics you want—including calm, patience, focus, gentleness, gratitude, humility, and acceptance—and weaken those that are harmful and stress-inducing such as judgment, competitiveness, distraction, reaction, and criticism.

Each of the four yoga sessions during this program includes practices that strengthen not just the body but also the qualities of mind that have the greatest impact on well-being.

NOTE Bryan tends to use humor and explicit language in his programs. This program is held in a slightly heated room.
