The challenge
Are you ready?
We challenge you to find balance this holiday season by expanding your practice outside of your normal routine. By using one of the challenge brackets below, commit to 2 or 4 classes each week, half of each committed to physical wellbeing and the other half committed to your mental health. Each week, Bryan will suggest classes to take and provide helpful “challenge tips” along the way.
Challenge goal
Four classes, or four moments, every week
Members, what are your personal goals for this six-week period? We challenge you to find things to be grateful for in this busy season, in whatever way this works for you. Each day, find your inner peace and self-love through your practice. Each week, your goal is to check off either 4 classes or 4 moments that you committed to Power Yoga and helped yourself and our community feel more gratitude and thankfulness with your practice.
Physical challenge
Find peace through staying balanced
- Do you want to challenge yourself to try a new class type? New instructor?
- Will it be a challenge to stay in a pose for a minute longer?
- Will it be a challenge for you to stretch a little deeper?
Mental challenge
Daily reasons to be grateful, grounded, and sane through the crazy times
- Do you have a hard time meditating? Challenge yourself to a new type of practice.
- Feel thankful, dedicate your practice to restoration if you’re feeling off one day.
- Do you find yourself thinking about things outside of class? Focus in.
- Do you feel restored after a gentle flow? Find the time.
- Will it be a challenge to take an extra few deep breaths at the end of a class?

Your instructor
Bryan Kest
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 since 1985. “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.”
