Deep Butt Burn

About This Class

In "Deep Butt Burn," Bryan Kest guides students through a long, richly sequenced flow designed to comprehensively work and then open the entire lower body — with special emphasis on the glutes, hips, and hamstrings. The class opens in Child's Pose with an extended focus on deep, fluid breathing before moving through repeated Downward Facing Dog, Cobra, and plank transitions to warm the body. The heart of the class involves demanding standing-balance sequences performed on each side: students lift and hold one leg in a Warrior-III-like airplane position, pulse the torso up and down with arms spread like wings, then flow into hip-flexor and glute-targeting poses including a standing figure-four (Busyasana), before finishing with a straight-leg hold and reaches. Floor work includes Bow Pose (Dhanurasana), a wide-legged seated forward fold, Baddha Konasana, a tabletop hip bridge, leg lifts and twists in boat-like balance, and supine figure-four hip openers with spinal twists. Throughout, Bryan weaves in teachings on moderation, the "middle path," and sensation-based self-discovery, encouraging students to find their personal sweet spot rather than push to extremes. The pace is dynamic but breath-led, making it as mentally grounding as it is physically challenging.
