About This Class

Bryan Kest leads a full-bodied, 96-minute dynamic flow that builds gradually from gentle supine twists and bridge-like hip lifts through shoulder stand and plow, then rises into a vigorous standing sequence of downward dog, cobra/chaturanga flows, crescent lunges, standing twists, airplane and bent-knee balancing, and triangle-family poses — all layered on both sides. The floor work includes wide-legged forward folds, deep pigeon-style hip openers, low lunge quadriceps stretches with spinal twists, bow pose, and a strong core series (leg lifts, scissors, hollow-body). Throughout, Bryan weaves philosophy about breath as the true yoga practice, the importance of a quiet mind, modest effort, self-discovery, and humility. The class closes with supine twists, a rocking seated transition, and an extended seated gratitude and compassion meditation followed by savasana. The breath — kept deep, smooth, and synchronized with movement — is framed as both the method and the goal.
