About This Class

This one-hour power yoga flow with Bryan Kest opens gently in Child's Pose, establishing deep, smooth breathing as the primary practice before any movement begins. The class progressively layers in three rounds of a sun-salutation warm-up sequence — Downward Dog, Forward Fold, Cobra, and Plank — before adding Crescent Lunge, a squat-and-reach, and a strolling bird-of-paradise-style balance. The standing sequence features single-leg balances, figure-four chair pose, standing leg extensions, and Warrior III / Airplane transitions with optional half-moon variations using a block. Floor work includes locust/airplane prone backbends, bow pose (grabbing ankles), seated forward fold (Baddha Konasana), a gentle reclined squat/Saddle, a tabletop bridge, core leg lifts with seated twists, seated forward fold with wide legs, plow-to-shoulderstand, and supine spinal twists. Throughout, Kest repeatedly invites students to honor their own boundaries, take breaks freely, and treat calmness as the true measure of effort. The class closes with a generous Savasana and a meditation on observing thoughts without reacting.
