About This Class
This abbreviated Long, Slow & Deep Yin session by Bryan Kest distills the essence of Yin practice into roughly 30–40 minutes without sacrificing depth. Starting in Child's Pose and moving through Down Dog as the sole heat-building transition, the class settles into a sequence of long-held floor-based poses: a wide-knee supported recline targeting the ankles, knees, hips, and psoas; a wide-legged forward fold with lateral walks to each leg; supine hamstring stretches with optional strap use; a deep hip-opener pulling the foot across the upper chest toward the ear; a seated-style supine head-to-leg crunch; and a spinal twist for release. Bryan consistently coaches seven-to-ten-second inhales and exhales (as few as three to four breaths per minute), framing stillness and breath-focus as a gateway to meditation. The class closes with an extended Savasana and a gentle reminder to transition slowly back into the world. No warm-up or prior heat is needed — only time, patience, and a willingness to sit with discomfort rather than react to it.

Amazing beautiful class to drop within and practice to be in present time with what is and allowing yourself to connect and letting your nervous system decompress and indeed coming out stoned ….

Thank you, Bryan, for this shorter LSD class! The original class is an exquisite indulgence and journey into body, mind and soul. This class is a wonderful taste of the original, a pause, a breath, an indulgence to embrace the self in mindfulness, kindness, compassion, and care, with all of the spirit of LSD. namaste, beth

Great class B! Haven’t taken an LSD class in a long time there’s definitely hit the spot as I make my road and come back! Slow and steady still love the LSD class live and in person nothing can top that. My favorite part of the classes at the end when you say just remember the gas is on the right and the brake is on the left lol

Don’t take this the wrong way, but I cried through this whole class the second time I did it. I think I was just allowing myself to release so much that… I ended up with tears trimming down my face the whole time. Felt great! Thank you!

Thank you,, Bryan, your class is a special way to help transcend from 2020 into the next year. Your Long, Slow, and Deep title reminds me of my first introduction, many years ago, to you and your “Bootlegged” audio classes. Long, Slow, and Deep was and is a remarkable practice. Happy New Year to all!

Great class! This was just what I needed to stretch my legs and hips and release some tension/stress. I chuckled to myself a bit during the class though. Bryan’s deep breaths/moans reminded me of the Friends episode where Phoebe says she can’t give Monica massages anymore 🙂

If you have never practiced Yin before this might be the gateway to a new path. Forget the time, close your eyes, listen and breathe. Don’t do anything but breathe and let your body sink in the poses by relaxing and releasing. You can get places you never thought possible not by pushing but by releasing. Bryan is an amazing guide.
