Lets See What the Cat Dragged In

About This Class

Bryan Kest leads this characteristically irreverent yet deeply intentional 86-minute dynamic flow, framed around "figuring out what the cat dragged in" — i.e., tuning into how your body actually feels today before deciding how hard to push. The class opens in child's pose and downward-facing dog, then builds through a multi-movement sun-salutation flow (cobra, plank, crescent lunge, forward fold, chair/utkatasana) that is repeated and layered with progressive complexity. Standing balance work includes airplane pose, warrior-style balancing sequences, and single-leg variations with arm extensions. The standing sequence progresses into warrior II, extended side angle, twisting triangle, and triangle pose on both sides. A seated floor section covers butterfly/baddha konasana, tabletop, reclined leg lifts, core rotations, seated forward fold, happy baby, reclined wide-leg stretch, and a plow/shoulder-stand transition. The class closes with a ten-minute seated gratitude meditation and a gentle supine spinal twist before final savasana. Throughout, Bryan emphasizes deep, fluid breathing as the primary meditation tool, calmness over effort, and moderation over ambition — repeatedly discouraging comparison and encouraging self-directed practice.
