About This Class
Bryan Kest leads this juicy, full-body flow that builds steadily from child's pose and downward dog through progressively layered sun salutation sequences — adding chair pose (Utkatasana), crescent lunge, and eventually crow/tripod balancing — before moving into standing balance work with wrapped arm binds, hand-to-big-toe extensions, and wide-leg standing forward folds. The floor section visits camel pose (Ustrasana), seated twists, double pigeon (fire log) variations, supine knee-to-chest twists, and a rolling spinal massage. Throughout, Bryan weaves a consistent philosophical thread: breath as the anchor through life's vicissitudes, sensation over aesthetics, self-care over ego-driven progress. The class closes with an extended seated gratitude meditation and a full savasana. Props are not required, and modifications are actively offered at every stage — knees down in plank, tripod headstand as a crow alternative, tucked toes in camel. The overall tone is candid, warm, and deeply anti-performative, making it equally suited to seasoned practitioners and those simply needing a mindful reset.

Looked up “vicissitudes” after 3.5 years practicing with Bryan and was not disappointed – circumstances, mostly unwelcome in life… love all who read this note and have the courage to continue ❤️???????????
