Light post holiday flow

About This Class

This 69-minute dynamic flow is designed as a gentle but comprehensive reset after holiday indulgence. Bryan Kest opens with an extended child's pose and breathwork to settle the mind, then builds methodically through down dog, cobra, plank, and a sun-salutation-style vinyasa before branching into a rich asymmetrical sequence on each side: one-armed down dog variations, side arm balances, three-legged dog, lizard/low-lunge hip openers, runner's lunge, crescent lunge, standing splits, warrior/airplane balance, figure-four standing balance, and a supine core series. Long holds in pigeon-style hip openers and crescent lunge give space to feel the stretch deeply, while repeated cobra and locust variations pump heat into the spine and kidneys. The class closes with supine twists, a knees-to-chest squeeze, and an extended savasana with guided breath-awareness meditation. Throughout, Bryan emphasizes finding personal sensation over conforming to a pose shape, modifying freely, and using the breath as the primary tool for both physical release and mental stillness — making this equally suited to experienced practitioners and mindful beginners recovering from a big meal.
