About This Class

This sweeping flow class builds methodically through three warm-up sequences — each adding new layers of movement — before moving into lunges, twists, warrior variations, triangle pose, bird of paradise, and deep hip openers like pigeon-style seated hip stretches. The practice includes prone back-strengthening work (cobra, locust, bow pose), arm-balance play (knee-to-tricep), inversions (plow/legs-overhead), supine twists, and an extended savasana paired with a guided gratitude meditation. Bryan Kest consistently emphasizes breathing deeply and freely through the nose, erring on the side of gentleness, honoring personal limits, and taking breaks as needed. The class is framed entirely around health and wellness — not aesthetics or performance — and closes with a philosophical meditation on gratitude, benevolence, and mindfulness. The sequence warms the spine and back body thoroughly before asking for deeper range of motion, making it well-suited for those seeking full-body mobility, stress relief, and a meditative movement experience.
