Flying Over Wherever You Happen to Be

About This Class

This 70-minute dynamic flow with Bryan Kest opens in child's pose and progressively layers on heat through repeated down dog sequences enriched with leg lifts, knee-to-elbow core activations, and side-plank-style hip openers. The standing section features single-leg balancing (warrior III / airplane arms, standing splits prep), "Bruce Lee" karate-chop lateral leg extensions, extended-hand-to-big-toe pose with leg opens, bent-knee balancing, crescent lunge with a twisting variation, and deep low-lunge hamstring folds. Hip flexors and glutes are targeted through pigeon pose on both sides with extended hold cues. A squat-balance section (tiptoe malasana-style with bound arms) adds a spinal twist component. The class closes with a floor-based core sequence—leg lowers, scissor crunches, and hollow-body reaches—before moving into supine spinal twists and a final savasana. Throughout, Bryan frames every pose as an opportunity to challenge mental calmness rather than physical extremes, emphasizing breath depth, gentleness, and personalization. Props and modifications (blocks, fists for wrists, knee drops) are offered frequently, making the class accessible despite its dynamic intensity.
