About This Class
This full-body flow class moves systematically through an upper-body strengthening sequence, a lower-body strengthening sequence, and a rich variety of standing balances, lunges, twists, and backbends — all unified by Bryan Kest's signature insistence on calm, deep, uninterrupted breath. The class opens in Child's Pose and Down Dog before building through cobra progressions, plank variations, and knee-to-tricep core work. Standing sequences feature Crescent Lunge, Twisting Lunge, Warrior-style transitions, and extended balance work that culminates in a modified Dancer's Pose on each side. The floor sequence includes a Saddle/Reclined Hero Pose for deep quad and hip-flexor opening, a wide-legged forward fold, a gentle Shoulderstand, and Plow. The class closes with a seated meditation on gratitude and a supine Savasana. Throughout, Kest explicitly frames the practice as a moving meditation: breathwork is the primary tool for quieting the mind, and students are repeatedly invited to back off rather than push through discomfort. Props such as blocks are mentioned as options, and modifications (dropping knees, using hands for support) are offered constantly.

A perfect sequence for a stiff morning. Easing gradually into the more challenging poses and the back strengthening that I always want! Thank you!
