About This Class

Bryan Kest leads a rich, meditative-yet-vigorous flow class structured around three layered warm-up sequences that gradually accumulate poses — Sun Salutations, Chair Pose, side stretches, crescent lunges, core twists, one-legged balances (Warrior III / airplane), and deep hip openers — before culminating in shoulder stands, plow, fish pose, supine spinal twists, and a quiet Savasana. Throughout, Bryan weaves in philosophy about the ego, finding personal "sweet spots," and protecting the breath as the most important boundary. The class systematically moves the spine in every direction: forward folds, backbends, side bends, and twists, while also challenging the upper body with repeated Cobra and plank sequences. Balancing poses progress from three-legged dog to full standing splits and airplane, with hands-behind-the-back heart openers and bound variations offered. The sustained emphasis on deep, free breathing makes it simultaneously demanding and meditative, suitable for practitioners who want a complete, full-body practice that builds strength, mobility, and mindfulness in equal measure.
