Humming from Temples to Toes

About This Class

This vigorous yet mindfulness-driven morning flow class with Bryan Kest opens on the ground in Child's Pose and Down Dog before building methodically through a multi-round Sun-Salutation-style sequence of Cobra, Plank, and Down Dog. The class then advances into a creative upper-body strengthening series that weaves Dolphin, knee-to-elbow core work, side arm balances, Wild Thing (Flip Dog), and Crow/tricep-balance variations into a flowing sequence on both sides. Standing work includes Crescent Lunge, Prayer Twist, Warrior, Twisting Triangle, and a wide-legged forward fold with arm-wrap. Hip mobility is deeply addressed through Lizard-style hip openers and Splits (Hanumanasana) on both sides. The class peaks with Bridge and optional Wheel (Urdhva Dhanurasana), then winds down through supine spinal twists and a philosophically rich Savasana (Corpse Pose). Bryan consistently instructs students to match effort to personal degree, keep the neck soft, and maintain deep, fluid breathing as the primary measure of doing the class "perfectly."
