Let the Young Ones Have Some Fun

About This Class

Bryan Kest guides a lively, vigorous 70-minute flow class using two live yoga models to demonstrate. The class opens in child's pose and downward facing dog to establish breath awareness, then builds through sun-salutation-style sequences (cobra, plank, chaturanga) into a demanding standing series. Each side features an extended single-leg balance progression: three-legged dog, standing splits prep, warrior III (airplane), karate-chop lateral leg extension ("Bruce Lee Asana"), figure-four balance (ankle-over-knee), crescent lunge, hero/warrior II, low lunge with forearms down, triangle, and twisting half-forward fold. Upper-body work includes dolphin pose and one-handed down-dog variations (hand behind back while leg lifts). A camel pose sequence follows on the knees, leading into supine figure-four twists (spinal twist/reclined twist) and a full savasana with explicit mindfulness and breath-awareness instruction. Throughout, Bryan frames every pose as a personal negotiation with sensation, repeatedly encouraging modification, early exits, and smiling through challenge. Breath and present-moment focus are the class's central teaching.
