Inhale the Good Shit, Exhale the Bullshit

About This Class

Bryan Kest guides an unusually contemplative power-yoga flow in which the breath—steady, nasal, and deep—is the true centerpiece rather than any physical achievement. The class opens in child's pose and builds through several rounds of a simplified sun-salutation flow (mountain, forward fold, plank, cobra, downward dog) before moving into standing sequences featuring Warrior One, Warrior Two, triangle-adjacent side-angle variations, half-moon-style arm extensions, and a standing-frog wide-squat series with lateral crunch pulses. Single-leg balances woven into downward dog include knee-to-elbow, knee-to-forehead, and a brief crow-touch option. Standing sequences are mirrored on both sides and punctuated with forward folds, spinal twists, and a clasped-hands forward bend that targets the shoulders and hamstrings. The floor sequence includes seated figure-four forward folds (double pigeon / fire log variations), bridge pose with a transition into shoulder stand (supported inversion), plow, and supine spinal twists on both sides, finishing with knees-to-chest, spinal rolling, and a seated gratitude meditation before Savasana. Throughout, Bryan frames the practice as stress relief, spinal decompression, and mindset cultivation—explicitly connecting breath mechanics to the release of tension and the cultivation of gratitude.
