Exploring Empowerment with Power Yoga

February 4, 2019August 7, 2020 by Devinder KaurNo Comments

International Speaker Bryan Kest: This March 29-31, 2019, at PranaShanti we have the pleasure of hosting the founder of Power Yoga, Bryan Kest, for an exhilarating full weekend seminar. This is sure to be a Power Yoga weekend like no other but before we get into the details let’s debunk the true meaning behind this powerful practice as explained by the founder himself. For many students this style is often overlooked as the term "Power" is often attributed to negative thoughts of physically challenging sequences with no end. When Kest created this style in the 90's he named it Power Yoga after it's incredibly Empowering nature. Instead of thinking of this style as just Power Yoga, shift your perspective to think of it as EmPOWERment Yoga. To Kest, Power yoga is not only about the physical nature of his classes but of the post- yoga feeling of complete empowerment. How many times have you stepped out of a class feeling...

By Victoria Lynes, Certified Children's Yoga Teacher and Mindfulness Educator Maybe you have you heard the latest catchphrase in regards to kids and technology? “Digital Heroin”. Whoa. It’s a harsh term. Very scary if you are a parent watching your child loose themselves in cyberspace…and it plays into our parental guilt and fear. Dr. Nicholas Kardaras, used this terminology recently in his article that went viral last summer from the New York Post, titled ‘It’s ‘digital heroin’: How screens turn kids into psychotic junkies’. The article suggests that, “iPads, smartphones and Xboxes are a form of digital drug. Recent brain imaging research is showing that they affect the brain’s frontal cortex — which controls executive functioning, including impulse control — in exactly the same way that cocaine does. Technology is so hyper-arousing that it raises dopamine levels — the feel-good neurotransmitter most involved in the addiction dynamic.” ...
