Isauro Fernandez
Creator of ki power vinyasa™ Yoga
Born and raised in New York City, ki power vinyasa creator Isauro Fernandez practiced law for 20 years before experiencing the transformational effects of yoga. Isauro's martial arts experience, which he began practicing at age six, led him to yoga in his adult years, which he quickly learned was a life-changing habit and began practicing on a daily basis.
After reaching a deeper level with his yoga practice, Isauro began teaching regularly and later created and trademarked ki power vinyasa, which fused his two passions – the movement and breath of Vinyasa Yoga with the grace, focus and physical intensity of martial arts. In each class, he challenges his students to embark on a journey of personal development to uncover their authenticity through a powerful blend of sweat, strength and spirit. Through this, Isauro seeks to connect students with their ki – their life force, authentic self and essential energies.
Isauro teaches ki power vinyasa at Earth Yoga and Pure Yoga, located on the Upper East Side and Upper West Side of New York City. He is also available for private classes. In addition to teaching in New York City, Isauro frequently offers domestic and international yoga retreats. In 2011, he plans to release his first DVD so yoga practitioners across the world can also benefit from ki power vinyasa.
Isauro is certified in Vinyasa by Power Yoga Works, an affiliated Baron Baptiste studio and is registered with the Yoga Alliance as a Power Vinyasa teacher. He also holds certifications in Yogic Arts by Duncan Wong and is certified in Thai yoga massage bodywork. Isauro has been an Ambassador for Lululemon Athletica since 2009 and regularly teaches classes at their in-store studios. He was recently selected to represent New York City in Lululemon’s first Ambassador Summit held in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Isauro's style of yoga has gained a significant following in New York City area and some of his better known clients include New York Giants Linebacker Gerris Wilkinson, New York Red Bull and 2010 World Cup Player Andrew Boyens, Judo World Champion Greg Gutman, and celebrity stylist Mark Garrison.
When Isauro is not busy helping yoga students with their physical and personal journeys, he remains deeply rooted in martial arts where he competes in national and international Judo Master Tournaments. Isauro continues to practice law and savors spending time with his two children. Isauro currently lives in New York City.
