Bryan Kest’s Power Yoga (2004)AVI (XviD) | 400×288 | 698 mb | 02:41:41 | English languageBryan Kest has been practicing yoga for more than 26 years. He initially studied in Hawaii with David Williams, the first person to bring Ashtanga yoga to America. He then studied in India with K. Pattabhi Jois, the main proponent of Ashtanga yoga. Kest has been teaching yoga for 21 years. “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.”Vol. 1: EnergizeSee for yourself why Bryan Kest’s Power Yoga has become southern California’s latest fitness craze. Though the program has deep roots in Eastern philosophy, this series sticks to basic instruction and an emphasis on yoga’s benefits — better balance and poise, muscle elasticity, and a peaceful mental state that promotes true health over shallow vanity. Kest’s stunning physique is itself a testament to his program’s potential, and his first-rate instruction makes the rigorous poses and routines accessible and highly effective. Geared toward beginning yoga practitioners, “Volume 1 – Energize” is nevertheless quite strenuous, and is suitable for more advanced levels. It brings a Power Yoga class directly into your home, introducing techniques for proper breathing and concentration as well as the basic poses (such as Up Dog/ Down Dog) that are used in his later videos.Vol. 2: ToneIn Volume Two of this powerhouse yoga series, fitness idol and aspiring spiritual guru Bryan Kest takes it up a notch with new twisting/ lunging poses and backbending stretches designed to build strength while toning key muscle groups. Although intended for an intermediate audience, the workout is easily adaptable to many different fitness levels, so that you are continually challenged as you advance. Like his other volumes, this tape combines warm cinematography and a diverse group of students with Kest’s dynamic personality, impressive physique, and trademark Jersey accent. Come see what all the fuss is about. Vol. 3: SweatThis is the most advanced workout in Bryan Kest’s Power Yoga trilogy — “Sweat” will challenge even the most flexible yoga student, taking you to new levels of strength, equilibrium, and slimness. Slightly modified from the wildly popular class that Kest teaches in Santa Monica, this compact 50-minute program combines traditional warm-ups, demanding poses, and rapid “sun salutes” with Kest’s soothing instruction and affirmation. Although Eastern philosophies are a key component of his workout style, Kest never hits you over the head with obscure references or vague directives, focusing instead on proper breathing technique, pushing physical limits, and always doing the best that you can. Filmed in warm sepia tones amidst a diverse and devoted group of students, this video manages to be as relaxing as it is strenuous. ~ Sarah Welsh, All Movie Guideofficial website:http://www.poweryoga.com/watching the video – it is featuring both men and women and suitable for both sexes
