Floorying Extended!

About This Class

Bryan Kest leads this extended, unhurried flow that earns its "Floorying" title through a rich floor-based architecture: child's pose settling, repeated downward dog sequences, cobra flows, locust lifts, bow pose, and a substantial seated and supine chapter. Throughout, Bryan emphasizes nasal breathing, deep diaphragmatic inhales, and jaw softness as the connective tissue of the practice — framing every physical shape as a vehicle for focus, calm, and self-inquiry rather than performance. The class moves through dynamic asymmetrical arm-balance play (knee-to-elbow, knee-to-tricep, one-legged plank variations), crescent lunge, a long standing balance series (warrior III / airplane, bent-knee airplane, three-legged half-moon progressions), hip-opening low lunges with forearms to the floor, bound-angle forward fold, wide-legged forward fold with lateral crawls to each leg, supine core work (scissor legs, double-leg lift), plow, shoulder stand, and supine twists — all punctuated by Chaturanga / cobra vinyasas. The class closes with a guided Meditation of Gratitude and a long savasana. Bryan repeatedly invites students to back off, modify, or skip poses, and explicitly acknowledges wrist fragility as a reason to fist-up or skip arm-balance shapes. The tone is candid, philosophical, and warmly irreverent, with a strong mindfulness and stress-reduction undercurrent.
