About This Class
This class opens with an extended emphasis on deep, smooth, uninterrupted breathing as the foundation of all movement — framing the practice explicitly as a meditation in motion rather than a physical workout. From Child's Pose and Down Dog, the flow builds through Sun Salutation-style vinyasa sequences with Baby Cobra, Plank, and a series of modest push-up variations. The middle of the class explores one-legged balancing (Warrior III / Airplane), low lunge with deep hip opening, a challenging bound squat toe balance, half-pigeon-style hip openers, Lizard Pose, standing forward folds with arm binds, and Half Lotus seated forward folds on both sides. Supine spinal twists and a gentle knees-to-chest sequence lead into a long, guided Savasana where the instructor coaches the transition from controlled deep breathing to natural, subtle breath and true mental quieting. Throughout, Bryan frames difficulty — whether physical or logistical — as an opportunity to practice calm, repeatedly using the metaphor of "calmness as a muscle." Modifications (blocks, bent knees, skipping poses) are offered consistently. The class is especially well-suited to people who carry stress, tension from sitting, tight hips and hamstrings, and anyone seeking a meditative, grounding movement experience.

As always, this class provides plenty of opportunity to move in ways that strengthen, stretch and relax the physical body. Added technological challenges provide the opportunity to integrate the Yoga into the Asana — practicing calmness amidst difficulty. I agree with Alyson, and I thank you, Bryan, for humbly modeling the real work, showing up authentically to provide effective, thoughtful instruction as you navigate the limitations of an online teaching platform.

Beautifully balanced class !! Loved the mix of balancing, strengthening, deep stretching everywhere and deep breath! Sidenote… even resisted the urge to swipe away a stray gray away from my yoga mat and left it there to remind me to stay out of my ego….LOL Thanks Bryan for always reminding us to respect our boundaries and stay out of the ego!!

Listening to the tones and undertones of conversation as I flowed through today’s practice made me grateful for my own growth in practicing calmness. I attribute my growth from being a part of this wonderful online program. Thank you Bryan for your vision and your constant modeling.
