About This Class

Bryan Kest leads a full-spectrum vigorous flow class that begins gently in Child's Pose and Downward Facing Dog before systematically layering complexity across multiple rounds of a core vinyasa sequence — Cobra, Plank, Crescent Lunge, standing side stretches, and progressive balancing poses including standing splits prep, Warrior-style lunges, half-moon variations, and bent-knee balance work. The class then moves to the floor for wide-legged forward folds, seated hamstring stretches, core work, Plow, Shoulderstand, supine twists, and a seated gratitude meditation, finishing in Savasana. Throughout, Bryan emphasizes deep nasal breathing as the primary tool for presence and stress reduction, consistently inviting students to find a personal "sweet spot" between effort and ease rather than comparing or competing. The instructor frames the class as a complete physical and mental wellness practice, calling out the stress-disease connection and explicitly weaving mindfulness and gratitude cultivation into the cool-down. No explicit contraindications are named beyond informal cues to skip movements that don't feel right.
