About This Class

Bryan Kest leads a rich, philosophy-infused vigorous flow that treats the physical practice as a vehicle for mindfulness and meditation. The class opens on the floor with reclined hip openers, a sustained shoulder stand, plow, and fish variations, then moves through repeated down dog–cobra flows layered with dolphin, one-armed down dog variations, and three-legged dog progressions. Standing sequences include Warrior-based flows, airplane balance (Warrior III), side-angle and triangle poses, and the playful "Bruce Lee Asana" (standing figure-four balance with a twist). Strength peaks with bow pose variations, awkward crow-entry push-ups, and crescent lunge "crunches." The class winds down with seated figure-four hip and neck stretches, supine spinal twists, and a guided gratitude meditation before Savasana. Bryan consistently frames every pose as an act of self-care rather than performance, encouraging moderation, breath awareness, and non-comparison throughout. Props and modifications are offered freely; blocks are suggested for side-angle work.
