About This Class
Bryan Kest opens this approachable gentle flow by framing it as a consistency practice — something you can always return to, even on low-energy days. The class begins in Child's Pose with a focus on nasal breathing and presence, then moves through Downward Facing Dog, a series of balanced side-body openers with arm and leg extensions, repeated Cobra variations to warm the spine, Camel variations on the knees, a seated butterfly forward fold, reverse tabletop (reverse plank), leg-lowering core work, seated twists, supine figure-four hip stretches, and spinal twists — all ending in a full Savasana. Throughout, Bryan consistently invites students to modify, exit early, use props like blocks, and honor their own range of motion. The tone is warm, philosophical, and deeply non-competitive, making this ideal for anyone craving gentle movement, hip and spine relief, or a consistent daily practice without pressure.

My first time doing a gentle class. I’m having a peroneal tendonitis (ankle) issue — and I think down dog is exacerbating it. First I tried I yin class. Didn’t like it. Then did this one. Loved it. I modified the little bit of down dog that was there. Really relaxed me — got into sweetness of chest opening and breathing deep. But still burned 114 calories.

I love these shorter classes. It’s a sweet option for those of us with full time jobs, families etc. Perfect practice before work. Thank you for the option to do what is approachable, on any given day. 15 minutes or a mammoth 90 min class, it’s all beneficial.
