About This Class
This 88-minute Sunday flow class with Bryan Kest opens on the back with breath awareness, gentle twists, and bridge pose before progressing through shoulder stand, plow, and seated forward folds. The class builds steadily through down dog, cobra, locust variations, and a thorough sun-salutation-style vinyasa sequence. Dynamic standing work includes side-body stretches, warrior two, extended side angle with a deep shoulder-under bind, and bird of paradise on both sides — each preceded by multiple preparatory hip-opener and hamstring stretches. Three variations of locust and repeated plank-to-chin sequences develop back and core strength. Throughout, Bryan weaves in philosophical reflections on self-love, body acceptance, media programming, and the practice of gratitude, culminating in a seated eyes-closed meditation with the mantra "I am beautiful." The pacing is deliberate and breath-synchronized, with constant reminders to personalize effort, never force, and keep the breath deep and free regardless of intensity.

They will stop at nothing. I was in the “they” world of Big Pharma for over 25 years. Bribing medical practices with doughnuts and steak dinners and trips to the Bahamas. All for the “science” of medicine. Its Crazy what manipulated people feel they have do in a yoga class….and what they do to their bodies ….the manipulators will stop at nothing to control what people do. And most manipulators dont look bad or “act bad”. They are actually the most suave . Glad you have these classes to empower people to use their wisdom. Namaste!

I started the practice at 5 am today and am grateful for the 40 minute warm up. This made my awakening especially smooth. Thanks for the practice, but I’m sorry, Bryan, I changed the order of the Bird of Paradise pose: the right one first was more convenient for me. ????????????
