About This Class
This 57-minute gentle flow with Bryan Kest is built around one foundational principle: feel the right amount, not go the furthest. Beginning in child's pose and downward facing dog, the class eases into a slow sun-salutation-style sequence (cobra, plank, forward fold, standing) repeated several times at a leisurely, breath-led pace. Standing work includes warrior-adjacent balances, twisting standing poses, figure-four squats, and airplane balance — all framed as playful exploration rather than achievement. The floor-based second half moves through wide-legged seated forward folds, single-leg forward folds, a bridge/wheel progression (with full wheel offered as optional), supine figure-four hip openers, and spinal twists, closing in a long savasana with a guided breath-focus meditation. Throughout, Bryan consistently cues deep, free nasal breathing as the central practice, encourages modifications (blocks, fists for wrists, dropping knees), and frames the session as nourishment and stress relief rather than a workout. The pace is slow and conversational, making it ideal for anyone needing to decompress, recover, or simply move gently after a period of stress or stillness.

I am so happy that you are safe with the tree coming through your home (last year!) – I know what a scare that must have been! I have had the pleasure to remotely take almost all of your pre-recorded classes, and this one was a highlight for me! I am not sure why, but it was exactly what I needed today – thank you!!

Loved the pace of this class to honor the fragility being felt today! Loved the combination of balancing, stretches and the wheel! Just realized for. the very first time that as you closed the class with Adios… in Spanish, goodbye actually means.. to God– A Dios:) … Beautiful…. So very grateful !!
