Power Yoga Master Class with Bryan Kest
This is classic Power Yoga: strong, steady, and intelligently paced—without the performative nonsense. Expect a well-rounded, flowing asana practice that builds heat, strength, and focus in a warm (about 80°) room, while quietly training your mind to be a little less reactive off the mat.
The emphasis is on process, not outcome. You’re not here to nail poses—you’re here to pay attention. That’s what makes this class accessible to all levels and genuinely challenging no matter how long you’ve been practicing.
The workshop begins with about an hour of Bryan sharing his no-BS philosophy on yoga and life, followed by a 90-minute physical practice that puts those ideas directly into your body.
Come ready to work, listen, sweat, and think a little differently.
Space is limited. Advance registration recommended.
$75 before April 12th, $85 thereafter.

🧘♂️ Long. Slow. Deep. with Bryan Kest
📅 Monday, May 4th
🕠 5:30 PM – 8:00 PM
The wait is over—our annual masterclass with the legendary Bryan Kest is back at Bend Yoga!
This isn't your typical yoga class. Long, Slow, Deep (LSD) is a powerful and transformative experience designed to take you beyond the surface—without a single Sun Salutation or Standing Series in sight. Instead, Bryan guides you through an intentional, floor-based journey that invites deep release in your hips, hamstrings, shoulders, and beyond.
🔥 Expect intensity—but not in the way you’re used to. This class challenges your mind far more than your muscles, asking you to slow down, stay present, and breathe through discomfort. It’s unlike anything else on the yoga schedule.
All levels are welcome—whether you're brand new or seasoned in your practice, you’ll walk away changed.
⚠️ Space is limited.
Register ahead—your hips will thank you later.
$75 before April 12, $85 thereafter.
