Go for It – As You Wish!

About This Class

Bryan Kest guides this marathon flow through an extended warm-up of Sun Salutation-style sequences, progressing into single-leg balances (standing splits, airplane/Warrior III variations), lunges with twists and side-angle variations, arm-strength work including Chaturanga push-ups and one-handed Down Dog, dynamic knee-to-elbow core flows, deep hip openers culminating in Pigeon Pose on both sides, intense backbends including Cobra, Bow/Dhanurasana, and a full Locust series, forward folds and wide-legged forward bends with shoulder stretches, seated half-lotus forward folds, Plow, Shoulder Stand, and a supine spinal twist cool-down. Throughout, Bryan emphasizes breath quality, self-pacing, non-competitiveness, mental focus, and working intimately with personal sensation rather than chasing aesthetic form. The class is explicitly framed as a sanctuary — a practice for calming the mind under physical challenge, releasing tension stored throughout the body, and building practical, sustainable strength and mobility for everyday life.
