About This Class

Bryan Kest leads a vigorous 70-minute flow class in which deep, uninterrupted nasal breathing is the central discipline — framed as the gateway to a quiet mind and genuine relaxation. The class opens in child's pose to establish breath awareness before moving into a progressive series of sun salutations (Salutation A and Salutation B) with cobra and down dog. The intensity builds through three rounds of increasingly complex flows incorporating crescent lunge, core twists, forearm drops on the inside of the lunge, one-armed down dog balance, a side-plank-like arm balance, camel pose (including a one-handed variation), chair pose on tiptoes, and a prone locust-inspired lift. Core strength is addressed through boat pose with rotation, leg lowers, and reverse table-top hip lifts. The class winds down with bound-angle forward fold, seated wide-leg forward bend, supine twists, and a knees-to-chest squeeze before a seated gratitude meditation and savasana. Bryan encourages constant self-regulation — offering knee-down, fist, or forearm modifications throughout — and closes with an extended gratitude practice and savasana.
