About This Class

This class opens in Child's Pose with an extended grounding in nasal breathing, deep-breath awareness, and the role of focus as a meditation gateway. From there, Bryan builds a multi-round warm-up through Downward Facing Dog, Cobra, Plank, and Crescent Lunge, progressively adding Warrior/lunge twists, standing balance sequences (including hand-to-big-toe pose, bent-knee balancing, and Warrior III-style airplane), and dynamic lateral side stretches. A core-heavy bicycle-crunch sequence bridges the vigorous flow to the cool-down. The floor sequence includes Bow Pose, shoulder stand, plow, supine twists, happy-baby-style hip openers, and a wide-legged seated forward fold. The class closes with a seated gratitude meditation and a long Savasana. Throughout, Bryan consistently frames the practice around self-listening, moderation, breath freedom, and mental equanimity — making this as much a mindfulness class as a physical one. Modifications and permission to skip or rest are offered repeatedly, though the cumulative heat and balancing demands make this genuinely challenging.
