Humble Warrior #2

About This Class

This eclectic, full-body flow with Bryan Kest opens in Child's Pose and immediately establishes its foundational philosophy: deep, fluid breathing as the real yoga. The class builds through multiple rounds of Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutations), then expands into a rich standing sequence featuring Crescent Lunge, Warrior One, Warrior Two, Humble Warrior, Triangle, Twisted/Core Twist, and extended one-legged balancing (airplane balancing and half-moon variations). Arm balancing is introduced via Crow/Elbow Balance and Tripod, keeping the practice dynamic and playful. A prone backbend sequence including Cobra and Bow Pose warms the spine, followed by a grounding floor series of supine Figure-Four hip openers, a gentle spinal twist, and knee-to-chest releases. Throughout, Bryan consistently invites practitioners to dial intensity up or down, discarding force in favor of gentleness and presence. The class closes with a seated gratitude meditation and Savasana, framing the entire practice as training for a calm, present, and grateful mind in daily life.
