Hollering Hips

About This Class

Bryan Kest leads this 69-minute dynamic flow class — titled "Hollering Hips" — that balances heat-building vinyasa sequences with extended floor-based hip openers and spinal stretches. The class opens in child's pose and progresses through three increasingly layered warm-up flows incorporating down dog, cobra/baby cobra, crescent lunge, core twists, standing backbends, and camel pose. The floor work features deep hip-opener combinations (one knee bent back into a modified straddle, figure-four/reclined pigeon variations, seated forward folds over straight and bent-leg configurations), spinal twists in supine, and a shoulder-stretch arm-clasp sequence in kneeling. Throughout, Bryan weaves in extended philosophical teaching on the yoga of the mind — emphasizing deep, free breathing as the vehicle for mental quiet, gentleness over force, tuning into sensation over ego-driven depth, and releasing culturally conditioned desires for "more." The class closes with a long, intentional savasana framed as the culmination of all the physical effort. Ideal for anyone seeking both a substantial physical practice and a grounding, perspective-shifting mental reset.
