Enrollment for the Fall 2024 Course is Now OPEN!
Aloha everyone!
All Bryan's Teacher trainings whether in person or online cover same content and have same objective. All true wellness and health come from a calm and peaceful mind. And I’m excited to offer my unique Online Teacher Training grounded in this belief.
This course is designed to empower you and provide an environment where your own unique understanding and perspective of yoga emerges out of direct experience and dialogue and you become confident in sharing it. Ultimately, I want you to emerge with a sense of your own style grounded by the life experiences that have informed you as well as your own consistent practice.
In this course, I share everything I’ve learned in my 41 years of yoga practice and 35 years of teaching yoga.
Over 8 weeks:
- Develop and strengthen your own voice
- Discover your unique style and approach
- Strengthen your asana practice
- Learn to meditate & explore the benefits of meditation
- Learn a complete sequence of flowing poses that you can share immediately

Your Instructor
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.
