Born in 1964, Bryan Kest has been practicing yoga since 1979, starting when he was 14 years old. 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. Bryan 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. 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."

Thank you for being here.  We had a fun time chatting with Erin Motz on this episode.  Erin and her partner are the founders of Bad Yogi. In her 13+ year time as a yoga teacher, she's always jokingly called herself a Bad Yogi because she didn’t fit in with the stereotypical yoga drones who all dressed, looked, and acted alike no matter what city she visited.  Erin is the original creator of the Inhale Tacos Exhale Negativity meme so yeah she's super cool.   Enjoy this episode and make sure you visit Erin at the links below: Bad Yogi instagram - https://www.instagram.com/badyogiofficial Bad Yogi TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@badyogiofficial    Website - https://www.badyogi.com Learn more about The Yogi Show at www.theyogishow.com
