Full Circle Flow

About This Class

Full Circle Flow is a richly layered 90-minute class led by Bryan Kest that literally and philosophically comes "full circle," opening and closing in a supine spinal twist. The class begins on the back with deep diaphragmatic breathing and gentle knee drops, then builds methodically through shoulder stand, plow variations, wide-leg seated forward folds, and table-top core flows before rising into dynamic standing sequences. Multiple rounds of a sun-salutation-style vinyasa (plank, cobra, down dog) are layered with crescent lunges, prayer twists, twisting triangle, and standing balance work including warrior variations, airplane/warrior III, dancer's pose, and Bruce Lee Asana (standing leg extension). Arm balances—crow/crane (Bakasana) and tripod headstand prep—appear mid-flow, alongside camel pose on the knees and a table-top backbend. The class winds down with supine leg lifts, seated boat-pose core twists, rocking massage along the spine, and a final supine twist before a guided gratitude meditation and Savasana. Bryan's central teaching is that the deepest challenge is not the postures but maintaining a calm, deep, fluid breath throughout—using the practice as a rehearsal for navigating life's vicissitudes with equanimity. Modifications and props are consistently offered, and students are continually reminded to honor personal limits and avoid pain.
