![]() ![]() I, Agent PYT (Cristo Burciaga), DJ for yoga classes and make mixes that match the energy of the poses and help students sink deeper into their practice. Power Yoga TV is a pop-up yoga event but also a platform for instructors to showcase their flows and help promote/grow their brand. Let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. ![]() I’m dealing with mental health issues, depression, and loneliness, and as a Hispanic man, it’s even harder because I wasn’t taught to talk about my feelings. And they know that as long as they stay true to their passions and keep an open mind, there will always be new opportunities to learn, grow, and inspire others on their yoga journey.Īlright, let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what challenges have you had to overcome? I aim to share my love of music and yoga with anyone open to receiving it. I continue to refine my craft, blending different styles of music with various yoga practices to create an ever-evolving experience for students. Students raved about the transformative power of the music and the way it helped them connect with their bodies and minds on a deeper level. But to their delight, the classes quickly gained a following. I would DJ live for yoga classes and make mixes that would match the energy of the poses and help them sink deeper into their practice.Īt first, I was nervous about how people would react to my unconventional approach to yoga. I started offering yoga classes incorporating live music, using my skills as a DJ to create a unique and immersive experience for the students. That would interrupt my yoga flow, so then I started creating mixes that would flow with the yoga that I was doing.Īs I grew more confident in my mixes, I decided to share my unique approach to yoga with the world. I would play music on shuffle but caught myself stopping my yoga flow to find the right song for that moment of the yoga flow. When COVID happened, virtual yoga became a thing. The result? The origin story of Power Yoga TV. Hi Cristo, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.Įveryone has a story here’s a glimpse of mine: It all started with a lump that led to doctor visits, that lead to uncertainty, that lead to depression and loneliness, and, eventually, my surgery. We also provide free filtered water.Today we’d like to introduce you to Cristo Burciaga. At our yoga studio, we provide blocks, blankets, bolsters, and straps. ![]() ![]() Just yourself, your mat, and your water bottle. Pregnant people should NOT practice in a super-heated yoga studio (100 degrees or more) but we have found that the 88-degree temp works fine for most of our pregnant yogis! Of course, we encourage you to listen to your body and what feels good to you. However, if you are used to the practice, please keep coming! Just drink more water, modify, and take breaks when needed. Our Restorative, Flow + Restore, and Alignment classes are great for pregnancy! We recommend not starting Power Yoga if you haven’t taken Power classes before. We have one shower at our Laurel location. Our heated classes are warmed to 85-90 degrees in our yoga studio and our unheated yoga classes are to 75 degrees. In yoga, a warm environment promotes detoxification and deeper release into the poses. Since our number one priority is to keep students safe, we find that mirrors allow students to adjust their alignment based on the teacher’s cues throughout class. We hope that you practice at our yoga studio with us for a long time, and in order to do so, it’s important to practice with correct alignment. There is ½ inch of firm cushion under the knees, elbows, etc, plus the thickness of your Yoga Mat at all times. We have found that wooden yoga studio floors are uncomfortable on the joints of the body, particularly the knees, thus we provide anti-microbial Zebra Mat floors in both of our locations. Our yoga studio in Grand Lake is located at 3702 Grand Ave, Oakland CA and our yoga studio in Laurel is located at 4148 MacArthur Blvd, Oakland, CA. ![]()
