From 16 to 66

About This Class

This class, anchored by the inspiring pairing of a 16-year-old and a 66-year-old practitioner, demonstrates that yoga is truly for every body at every stage of life. Bryan Kest leads a 65-minute dynamic flow that begins gently in Child's Pose and Down Dog, warming up through multiple rounds of a sun-salutation-style sequence including Cobra, Plank, and Uttanasana. The class progresses into standing balance work (airplane pose, half-moon variations), Warrior One, Warrior Two, and extended side angle, then dives deep into hip-opening work with pigeon-style poses and hamstring stretches. A backbody strengthening sequence on the stomach — including locust arms, Bow Pose, and progressively deeper Cobra — builds heat and spinal awareness. Core engagement is woven in through leg-lift sequences and twisting. The class closes with supine spinal twists and a full Savasana. Throughout, Bryan emphasizes personalizing every pose to your own degree, listening to sensation over achieving depth, and using the breath as the primary tool for both physical and emotional release. Modifications and props (fists instead of flat palms for wrist sensitivity) are actively demonstrated by the models.
