All for One (Leg) and One (Leg) for All

About This Class

This 68-minute dynamic flow class is devoted almost entirely to the lower body, cycling through both sides with single-leg standing balances (airplane/warrior III variations), twisting triangle, half-lotus forward folds (Ardha Baddha Padma Paschimottanasana), deep one-legged squats, and seated wide-leg stretches with bow-pulling variations. Bryan Kest opens with child's pose and down dog to establish breath awareness, then threads in push-ups and cobra sequences as a deliberate heating technique before shifting into the main lower-body work. Arm balances (elbow balance / Bakasana, tripod) and spinal twists in a deep toe-squat appear mid-class, warming shoulders and hips for the increasingly demanding leg sequences. The class closes with supine figure-four hip openers, a spinal twist, and a restful savasana. Throughout, Bryan emphasizes finding "sweet sensation" over maximum effort, enforcing personal boundaries of calmness and safety, and maintaining deep nasal breathing even in the most demanding moments — making this class as much a mindfulness practice as a physical one.
