About This Class
Bryan Kest guides this extended flow class as a "maintenance practice" — not a workout — framing every pose around the principle of finding the personal edge between too much and not enough. The class opens in child's pose with a sustained focus on deep nasal breathing, which Kest returns to constantly as the foundation of the entire session. From there, the sequence moves through gentle Sun Salutation-style flows (cobra, plank, downward facing dog), crescent lunges, standing balance poses including one-legged balancing and warrior/hero variations, a wide-leg forward fold, a deep malasana-style squat, and a supported camel. The floor-based closing section covers a deep frog/hip-opener sequence, supine twists, seated forward folds with one leg extended (half-seated forward bend), plow pose and shoulder stand transitions, and a brief core sequence. Throughout, Kest discourages aggression and straining, explicitly coaching students to back off rather than jam deeper. The mood is candid, philosophical, and deeply anti-competitive, making it ideal for stress relief, maintenance of general mobility, and recovery from the tensions of daily life — especially for those who sit a lot or carry habitual tension.

Thank you, Bryan, even though you suggest focusing on our breath and trying to maintain a meditative yoga practice, Donald Trump and politics arose into the general consciousness. My our next President be guided to assist in the healing of our country, its inhabitants, our environment, and our relationships with the world, which were sickened by the toxic agendas of Trump.

not a fan of any politicians. I am currently having a challenging time with a politician who keeps closing small yoga studios but leaving McDonalds and liquor stores open, but that’s not why I am posting this. every living being that is alive is to be honored and respected. Every one. Just like every pose is to be honored and respected. It is the challenging people (poses) in our life that challenge us to “not judge”. The “easy” people (poses)in our life are really no challenge to our judgementalness muscle . Well , maybe easy going personalities (poses) are a challenge to our ego. Like thinking we are a better person because we are non-judgmental with this ‘easy to understand” person (or we are a better person because we can do the “easy”pose). Love the challenges. Feel the disrespect for the challenging poses and challenging people. Love it all. Final Relaxation comes to soon
