Yoga with Brad is a breath-centered, heart-opening, peaceful invitation to healing and transformation. This is a kind practice, full of patience, ahimsa, and the willingness to adapt yoga to you--- not force you or your body into a particular yoga pose or practice.
Brad has studied Hatha yoga with Max Strom, Saul David Raye, Sarah Powers, Georg Feuerstein, Gabriella Giubilaro, and Tias Little. He has taught yoga at Exhale since its opening and has also instructed at Maha Yoga, Dance Home, and Brentwood Yoga. For Brad, yoga is a transformational and healing practice for and from the heart. This is what inspires and motivates him to share this path with others. With a background as a symphony and opera conductor, Brad has been profoundly influenced in his life and teaching by the heart-first example of his mentor, Leonard Bernstein.

Questions? Contact me directly at bradkeimach@gmail.com!
See you on the beach!
3. Yoga Quartets
Brad hosts Yoga Quartets at his home in West Los Angeles, on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings 7-8:30pm, and Saturday mornings, 10-11:30am. These are various workshops/intensives that are taught in his apartment, which snugly has space for 4 mats, thus the quartets. The advantage of only 4 yogis is in the amount of attention and detailed practice each of you can receive, compared to a large workshop or class. Invitations are sent out monthly. Please write to Brad directly at bradkeimach@gmail.com to be included on that mailing list.
4. Private yoga sessions
Brad is available for private yoga sessions, to deepen your practice, to fine-tune poses, or to learn variations and adjustments to accomodate special needs, such as recovery from injury/congenital birth defects/emotional trauma. If you are seeking such assistance, please contact Brad directly at 310.826.6958, or bradkeimach@gmail.com

Special Yoga Classes/Workshops
SYMPHONIC YOGA
This is an All-Level Vinyasa Flow class, set to classical music. The composers whose music will accompany this special class include Mozart, Beethoven, Debussy, Verdi, Puccini, Ravel, Tchaikovsky, Brahms, Strauss, and Mendelssohn, among others. Come and see how your practice feels, and how your breath moves when accompanied by some of the towering geniuses of classical music! This is an extraordinary experience!
WHAT THE ^%$#*&^% WAS I THINKING?
Where is your mind in your practice? Where is your mind in your life? Do you find your mind is leading you around to do its bidding, either in dictating your feelings, directing your thoughts, or urging your actions---in conflict with your highest good? Do you wonder what part the mind should play in your life? And if so, HOW can you teach the mind to play the right part?
This workshop is a chance to look at the mind and its workings, and learn how to train the mind to make it work for your highest good. Choosing one's thoughts is not as easy as it sounds, but it is possible. You can take control of how you think. The applications of this skill to one's everyday life are infinite, and the results make happiness, contentment and fulfillment possible, perhaps as never before.
Controlling the mind is a conscious practice, just as learing any art or skill is.
The workshop will include a lecture on the workings of the mind, followed by a yoga practice, and will conclude with a discussion and Q and A session, with a chance to explore your experience and relationship with your own mind.
This workshop is suitable for all levels. No prior experience required. Just bring your mind, and the willingness to change.
To book either of these workshops at your facility, contact Brad at 310.826.6958 or bradkeimach@gmail.com
