About This Class
Bryan Kest leads this wide-ranging dynamic flow with a philosophy-first approach: the breath and a calm, present mind are the true yoga, and the poses are simply the vehicle. The class opens in child's pose to establish deep, free nasal breathing before moving through a progressive warm-up sequence — downward facing dog, forward folds, baby cobra, plank, and crescent lunge — repeated and layered until a full sun-salutation-style flow is established. Standing sequences include warrior, hero, and a bound half-forward-fold that targets hamstrings and hips deeply. Upper-body strength is developed through multiple plank holds (including an extended one-minute hold), push-up-style lowering, and arm-balance exploration (crow-style knee-to-arm play). The floor portion closes with bow pose for a chest and spine opener, seated forward fold, supine figure-four hip stretches, and a spinal twist before a long savasana. Throughout, Bryan weaves in reminders to stay at 60% effort, honour bodily change, and resist ego-driven pushing — making this class equally accessible to a 16-year-old and a 66-year-old practitioner side by side. Props such as blocks are demonstrated as options. Ideal for practitioners who want a meaningful, sweat-inducing flow grounded in self-inquiry and sustainable movement.

I love the words as much as the physical practice. I’m 72 and my body is changing. Good reminders to keep the practice mine. Thank you. Always good.

Very strong re-entry back into Power Yoga for me. It’s been (almost three months?) too long! Love the unpredictability at 60 percent — Brian, Peoria Heights, Ill.
