Product Description

The first Advanced Routine was so popular that Bryan Kest brought out a second one! In addition to guiding you through challenging physical poses, Bryan shows you another type of edge that is experienced in stillness. Strength, suppleness and silence -- get all three in this routine, which includes Bryan's guidance into a deep reflection that is as fruitful as the most difficult asana (pose). This is the fifth in a series of live recordings just made available to the general public. The recording is of one of Bryan's 90 minute classes at his very popular Santa Monica, CA studio, in audio CD format accompanied by a beautiful, 8" x 8" spiral bound instructional booklet. (Like the other titles in the series, the spiral binding makes it easy to keep the book open and follow along.) The audio CD is segmented into 12 tracks for easy repeating or forwarding. The booklet has over 150 photographed asanas (positions) that track the recording, along with detailed written instruction for key poses provided by Bryan.

In addition to being an excellent, complete yoga routine for your library, the CDs are a compact format perfect for travelers.

About the Author

Bryan Kest has been practicing yoga for over 25 years and has been teaching for over 20 years. 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 master, Pattabhi Jois. He has been continuing on his yoga path ever since.

Bryan founded and teaches at three studios in Santa Monica and Calabasas, 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars sweet struggle, December 1, 2005
By Johnny D "John" (Chicago IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bryan Kest: Advanced Yoga 2 (CD & Booklet) (Spiral-bound)
This bootleg is very challenging. Having committed myself to the kest system of power yoga over the past two years, I have evolved in my ability to breath deep, not react, and enjoy the sweet struggle that bryan's philosophy focuses on.

I noticed that in this CD, Kest's most recent, his philosophy has evolved a little as well. Focusing on keeping attentive to what we are doing and not fidgeting. Giving in to the pose and feeling all of the places it is touching. About an hour and a half of very strong upper and lower body poses. This cd is advanced both physically and mentally. In the final 15 minutes of this practice, bryan leads you through a very simple meditation focused soley on gratitude. Very powerful stuff!

I highly recommend this cd to anyone looking to challenge themselves physically and mentally, while focusing on being present, not competing and gratitude.

As a side note, the most powerful aspect of Bryan's entire philosophy is how insistent he is about getting out of your ego. In this american culture of materialism, traffic jams and competition, we all have the tendency to get caught up in the rat race and become unconcious. No matter which work out you do, with bryan, you have an opportunity for one hour or whatever to get outside of that, focus on being present, being who you are and where you're at and being ok with it...

5.0 out of 5 stars great workout for the mind (and body), November 29, 2006
This review is from: Bryan Kest: Advanced Yoga 2 (CD & Booklet) (Spiral-bound)
I love Bryan Kest! I have been working out to his videos since 1997. I was very fortunate to try his videos first and fall in love with his style of yoga and teaching! Just as I was looking for more, he started releasing cd's of his classes in Santa Monica CA. I was in heaven. First of all, if youre familiar with his Energize, Tone, and Sweat series, which are his original work, this is not that type of class. Those videos are vinyasa style. This cd does not feel very vinyasa to me. Dont get me wrong, its TOUGH! But it doesnt feel like his other classes. That last sentence may only make sense if youre already familiar with Bryans way of teaching.

This cd is not for beginners! Its strenuous and long! (2 hours!) But its a great addition to an already existing routine. I like to do one of Bryans early videos and then maybe a little cardio. You'll be too tired for that here. But this workout is all you'll need!

Another welcomed change is Bryans attitude about the body. In his early videos it was more about the poses. Now he takes the time to stress the importance of health. I, too, am less concerned with six pack abs. I want my whole body to feel good.

One of the things people complain about most is Bryans talking. I've always said that this man has a lot to say and actually cares about people. Listen to him, you'll learn a lot!

As I said earlier, only buy this cd if you already pratice yoga 3-4 times a week already. Otherwise, you're just going to burn out. This isnt the type of cd you can do daily. And thats no way to start yoga.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love it, but it's tough!, March 8, 2006
By Alymom (NY -United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bryan Kest: Advanced Yoga 2 (CD & Booklet) (Spiral-bound)
I love every minute of this CD set, and I hope that Bryan Kest puts out more. The spiral-bound book is of great quality, as are the recordings. It's a tough practice, and certainly not for beginners. I've stated in other reviews, that even though he's a little bit coarse in the way he talks, it doesn't bother me in the least, and I find him very motivating. I like this practice in addition to going to the studio to practice, but it does take a lot of time. I think overall its nearly 2 hours! Well worth your money!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, strong practice for seasoned yogi's.
I love Bryan. He's such a great teacher who "keeps it real." I am a yoga teacher, who lives in the NY metro area and I rely on Bryan's cd's to practice by. Read more
