muck_a_luckTuesday: Brian Kest: Power Yoga One
Yoga Trance Dance: All Trance Dance Segment
OK. You all know me here. The one thing I don't talk masses about is religion. While doing Trance Dance today, I had something like a religious experience. Very odd. I suddenly got very emotional and weepy during the Dance for Transition, or whichever one it was, and it took me a minute not to just break down and sob. This is an experience I often have when talking about religion. It is NOT an experience I have, say, while doing step aerobics.
Huh.
On the Brian Kest DVD. I put it on my Christmas List because I was looking for some variety in my yoga practice and his DVD was way cheap.
As I was saying to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
zats_clear, I did the beginner routine. Very basic, but he has you hold the poses for a long time, and I was sweating hard. There were couple of poses that were new to me, including a (probably fairly simple) bind somehow related to Side Angle Pose that I had never tried before and MAN was it hard. He's got a kind of interesting teaching style. The only instructor in my (small) repertroire that spends a lot of time emphasizing the importance of ease and relaxation v. "achieving" better postures. It's good to be reminded.
In a side note, this might be a really, really pretty DVD to just watch. The class is incredibly attractive and all dressed in skimpy white outfits. Mixed group of male and female. Alas, I was, as usual, doing not watching, but that was the impression I got the times I WAS looking at the screen.
The DVD seems to be a bit of an ego trip for Mr. Kest, who seems to think he is hot stuff. *rolls eyes* If he's your type, you'll squee like crazy, though.
Also, he has a weird accent. Much heavier when he's lecturing at the beginning than when he's instructing during the exercise.
