A Radiant Flow

About This Class

Bryan Kest leads a radiant, full-body flow class that frames every physical movement as a meditation practice — the breath is the anchor and barometer throughout. The class builds through three layered warm-up sequences rooted in sun salutation-style flows, progressively adding leg lifts, side stretches, crescent lunges, standing twists, and heart-opening backbends. Key highlights include a 10-rep crescent lunge pulse series on each side, a dolphin/forearm down dog, camel pose traveled through in a full spinal circle, eagle arms, a wide-legged seated forward fold, and supine twists before settling into Savasana. Bryan consistently encourages students to find moderation — the sweet spot between too much and not enough — and to treat sensation as the body's language. The class closes with a mindfulness game in Savasana focused on quieting mental fluctuations, referencing Patanjali's Chitta Vritti Nirodha. Suitable for practitioners who want a challenging yet introspective flow that builds strength and flexibility without ego or performance.
