About This Class
Bryan Kest leads this full-body flow class with a strong philosophical thread: yoga is about the quality of your mind and the gentleness you bring to movement, not how deep or extreme you go. The class opens in Child's Pose with extended breathwork and mindfulness cues to quiet the mind, then progresses through tabletop warm-ups (Bird Dog), Cobra, Downward Facing Dog, and multiple rounds of Sun Salutation A. The standing sequence includes One-Legged Forward Fold, Airplane/Flying Warrior, Crescent Lunge, Warrior Two, a low lunge hip opener with extended side-body stretch ("conge" / core lunge), Triangle Pose, Ardha Chandrasana (Half Moon), and a Bent Knee Balance. The floor sequence features a prone back-strengthening series with Locust variations and Bow Pose, followed by a Dolphin Pose shoulder opener. The class closes with supine reclining twists on both sides and a full Savasana. Throughout, Bryan repeatedly encourages students to find their personal "sweet spot," honor their own body's needs, and use moderation as the guiding principle. Props such as blocks are mentioned. Cautions are offered for knee discomfort in Child's Pose. The overall mood is grounding yet energizing, with a warm philosophical undertone that suits practitioners of all levels.

This practice was surprisingly challenging, albeit simple. Definitely touched a lot of places and helped create a lot of strength and length. It was a welcome opportunity to meet some difficulty with gentleness and sensitivity, and breathe through the vicissitudes.
