Balanced & Strong

About This Class

This 67-minute vigorous flow with Bryan Kest wastes no time, diving straight from Child's Pose into a structured warm-up sequence that evolves through multiple rounds of Downward Facing Dog, Cobra, Plank, Crescent Lunge, and standing balance work. The class is organized around progressive "flows" — each round adding complexity such as core twists in the lunge, airplane-wing arm variations, split-leg lifts, and side-plank explorations — while Bryan continuously returns attention to deep, free nasal breathing as the primary tool for focus and stress relief. Floor work in the second half addresses the full posterior chain through supine leg stretches, happy-baby variations, spread-leg holds, a plow-to-shoulderstand sequence, supine twists, and a seated forward fold. The class closes with an extended gratitude meditation and Savasana. Throughout, Bryan frames the practice as a personal investigation — encouraging students to modulate intensity, use modifications freely, and treat calmness as the highest achievement rather than depth or height of a pose. The result is a class that delivers cardiovascular challenge, strength, flexibility, and balance work alongside genuine mindfulness and stress-relief content.
