Kiss From a Lover

About This Class

This full-length dynamic flow with Bryan Kest opens in Child's Pose and Down Dog before building into a rich standing sequence of Sun Salutation variations, Runner's Lunges, Warrior-style poses, extended Triangle, and Twisted Triangle. The middle of the class features demanding one-legged balancing work — including bent-knee balancing, airplane (Warrior III), and side-plank twists — paired with hip-opening low lunges and Lizard (Chasana). Arm-balance flirtations (knee-to-elbow and crow prep) keep the upper body engaged throughout. The class then moves to the floor for Bridge and Wheel (for those who choose), followed by supine figure-four hip stretches, spinal twists, and a long Savasana. Throughout, Kest frames every pose around deep, fluid breathing as the true foundation of practice, repeatedly inviting students to back off, modify, and tune in to sensation rather than push for depth. The overall arc is: warm, flow, balance challenge, floor release — holding a yin-quality attentiveness inside a yang physical experience.
