30 Minutes & Done #5

About This Class

This 30-minute flow class with Bryan Kest opens in Child's Pose with a strong emphasis on nasal breathing, breath depth, and quieting the mind — framing the breath as the foundation for both physical and mental wellness throughout the practice. The sequence moves through Down Dog, gentle push-up variations (chin-to-floor), Cobra, and a prone backbend series including a full-body lift and bow-like shape with interlaced fingers, targeting the spine and back muscles. A substantial standing balance section is woven through both sides and includes forward-fold hamstring work, Warrior III-style Airplane Balancing, Standing Hand-to-Foot, Tree Pose, and Standing Twist — all cued with strong reminders to go only as far as sensation guides. A floor-based core sequence follows, featuring leg lifts, scissor-like movements, and Plow/Shoulderstand-adjacent inversions, always with neck safety prioritized. The class closes with supine twists and a knees-to-chest squeeze before Savasana. Bryan's coaching voice is warm, humorous, and consistently mindful-over-muscular in tone, making this ideal for practitioners who want a well-rounded flow that builds strength, balance, and flexibility without ego-driven effort.
