Fiery Dragon Flow

About This Class

Fiery Dragon Flow is a long, unrelenting dynamic power yoga class that keeps students moving for roughly fifty minutes before a measured wind-down. Bryan Kest opens with an extended breathwork orientation, establishing deep nasal breathing and present-moment awareness as the non-negotiable priority above all movement and form. The standing sequence builds progressively from Down Dog through Cobra/Baby Cobra repetitions, then into a "power yoga stroll" (a walking-inspired arm-and-leg strengthening flow), crescent lunge, balancing lunge, warrior, and an ambitious balance series including standing splits, airplane pose, bent-knee balancing, and a standing leg-raise sequence. Hip mobility is addressed through wide-legged frog pose (Crog/core-muscle frog), a deep squat with shoulder-wrap twist, and runner's lunge transitions. The floor-based cool-down covers reclined twists, supported/full camel, seated forward folds, half-lotus forward fold, seated pigeon, and Savasana with a mindfulness breath-awareness game. Throughout, Bryan repeatedly frames the physical challenge as a vehicle for strengthening mental calmness, using accessible metaphors and humor. Props are not used. Modifications (knee-down, child's pose, backing off) are consistently offered, and students are encouraged to find their personal degree at every stage rather than compare or compete.
