Make a prayer mala with your body by doing 108 Sun Salutations and donate items to a good cause. Be carried by the group energy to create positive change. 108 Surya Namaskar traditional Sun Salutations (you can also meditate, stretch or be still during any of the four rounds of 27 salutations). A mala is 108 beads strung together on a prayer necklace for the repetition of mantra. In a yoga mala, your body forms the prayer, the 108 sun salutations represent the 108 beads and your breath represents the string holding the mala together. It is traditional to make a wish or set a particular sankalpa (intention) for your mala, the tapas (heat and austerity) of your practice represents the fire that devours impurities and obstacles. This is a wonderful chance to experience a yoga tradition. BEGINNERS WELCOME!

Bryan Kest started practicing yoga 26 years ago with David Williams who was the first person to bring Ashtanga Yoga to America. From his Ashtanga roots, Bryan devised his own dynamic style calling it Power Yoga. Bryan's master class is fun, informative, and most of all light-hearted. Bryan’s highly successful studios are in Santa Monica, CA. 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."

~ "Ralph, thank you for your short course in meditation. I was pleased with your clarity and compassion. You said it well and covered the basics -- the basics it takes years to grow into. :) I have been meditating daily for about two years and it is the deepest and most powerful "activity" that I do."
