Mary’s Delight

About This Class

Bryan Kest leads a rich, 68-minute dynamic flow that opens with grounding breathwork and Down Dog, moves through three rounds of sun salutations, and builds into an extensive standing balance sequence featuring figure-four standing, half-lotus forward fold, and a deep squatting balance — all inspired by a student named Mary. The class weaves knee-to-elbow core warmers, low lunge hip openers, runner's lunge twists, twisting triangle, and wide-legged forward folds throughout, punctuated by Cobra, Bow Pose (Dhanurasana), and locust-style backbends. A sustained two-minute bicycle-crunch core sequence and supine twists lead into a seated gratitude meditation and Savasana. Throughout, Bryan's philosophy of sensitivity, humility, gentleness, and breath-as-guide shapes every transition — making this a class that challenges without forcing, and heals through consistent, embodied attention.
