Funky Camel Flow

About This Class

Bryan Kest leads this 68-minute dynamic flow through a thoughtfully layered practice that begins in child's pose and builds organically through repeated sun-salutation variations — including low lunges, cobra, down dog, and chair pose — before expanding into more creative and demanding territory. Highlights include one-legged standing forward folds, warrior-like balance sequences on the knees with lateral reaches and side stretches, elbow balancing (crow/tripod prep), deep hip and inner-thigh openers with elbow-to-the-ground low lunge variations, bound and twisted low-lunge sequences, and a fully expressed double-handed camel pose approached from both sides. The class closes with a wide-legged seated forward fold, supine twists, and an extended savasana. Throughout, Bryan frames the physical work as a vehicle for meditation — instructing students to treat breath awareness as the primary practice, to back off at the first sign of pain, and to work at their own personal degree rather than forcing any outcome. The tone is warm, philosophical, and deeply non-competitive, making the class simultaneously accessible and genuinely challenging.
