A Spicy Little Flow

About This Class

Bryan Kest leads a rich, hour-long flow class that opens in Child's Pose and immediately establishes deep nasal breathing as the non-negotiable foundation of every movement. The class progresses through a carefully layered sequence: Sun Salutation-style vinyasas (Downward Facing Dog, Plank, Cobra, Locust), one-legged balancing flows on each side (airplane/Warrior III variations, standing knee-to-chest, twisting balance, and straight-leg extension), low lunge and deep hip-flexor work with bound shoulder variations, seated and standing side bends, core-intensive boat-pose-style leg lowers, a gentle Plow Pose, and Shoulderstand before closing with supine spinal twists and a final savasana. Throughout, Bryan frames every pose as an invitation to sensation and moderation rather than performance, repeatedly cuing students to back off if something doesn't feel right and to prioritize a calm, free breath over depth or height. The philosophical thread running through the class—feel and respond, care for the body rather than change it, challenge the mind state rather than the muscles—makes this a deeply mindful practice that suits anyone seeking to balance effort with ease, build full-body mobility, and decompress mentally and physically.
