About This Class

This 66-minute dynamic flow with Bryan Kest begins gently in child's pose with a focus on deep nasal breathing before moving through progressive warm-up rounds of downward dog, cobra, plank, and standing forward folds. The class builds steadily into more complex sequences featuring crescent lunge, balancing lunge, warrior-style standing poses, and a rich series of one-legged balances — including hand-to-big-toe pose and airplane — interspersed with hip-opening low lunge variations and lateral side stretches. Arm-balance transitions (knee-to-elbow and knee-to-tricep) lead into crow-prep movements and forearm down-dog. The peak portion includes bow pose and a deep final cobra before transitioning to the floor for wide-legged forward folds, single-leg hamstring stretches, core scissors, plow/shoulder stand, and closing supine twists. Throughout, Bryan emphasizes breath quality, self-guided intensity, and a meditative, non-straining mindset — making the class as much a moving meditation as a physical workout.
