About This Class
Bryan Kest leads a richly paced flow class built around the philosophy of deep, free breathing as the foundation for every movement. The class opens in Child's Pose with breath awareness, moves through a methodical Sun Salutation-style warm-up (Down Dog, Cobra, Plank), and progressively layers in balancing poses, side-body openers, spinal twists, and an extended seated hip-opening sequence that works both sides symmetrically. Back-strengthening locust and bow pose variations challenge the posterior chain, while a deliberate hip-opening series — including straddle forward folds, half-lotus folds, and supine happy-baby variations — targets the hips, hamstrings, groin, and pelvic floor. Shoulder and neck stretches address upper-body tension directly, and a shoulder-stand/plow inversion sequence followed by supine spinal twists rounds out the practice before Savasana. Throughout, Bryan emphasizes listening to the body, modifying freely, and maintaining meditative focus through breath, making the class accessible to a wide range of practitioners while still offering meaningful challenge.

That was fantastic!! I did this one years ago and am very happy to revisit. Nice basic flow to warm up, and then a whole mess of delicious stretches. Many thanks Bryan!!

I completed this practice the day after running 9 miles in preparation for a half-marathon. The combination of back strengthening and leg lengthening/stretching was EXACTLY what my body needed! Thank you, Bryan!????????️

Ah, my old frenemy the fire log pose! This was a lovely practice – warmup and then mostly floor poses to care for the tight areas

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Excellent lower body and back focus. I practiced this class 2 days after strength training legs when my legs were pretty sore. The floor work allowed me to focus on the stretch without taxing my tired legs with standing poses. The pace was just right, allowing me to warm and go deep. Exactly what I was looking for and I will practice via this class again. Bryan is the best. His philosophy and approach connects with me and this class offers value across the body-mind spectrum.

lovely class that starts with the usual flow, but halfway thru becomes almost like a yin class. lots of floor work. perfect for an end of week practice.
