About This Class

Bryan Kest leads a 67-minute dynamic flow that opens on the mat in Child's Pose and Downward Facing Dog before building through a progressively warmer sun-salutation-based sequence. The class layers Cobra, Locust (Shalabhasana), and Bow Pose to systematically strengthen the entire back body, then moves into an extended standing series on each side featuring Parsvakonasana (Extended Side Angle), Extended Triangle, deep low lunges, Lizard-style hip openers, Noose Pose (Pasakonasana), and arm-balance explorations with the knee on the tricep. Supine twists and a wide-legged seated forward fold round out the active work before a generous Savasana with guided breath-focused meditation. Throughout, Bryan emphasizes gentleness, moderation, and breath as the single unifying pose — framing the practice as a tool for dissolving physical tension, building suppleness, and cultivating calmness under challenge. The class is designed to leave practitioners feeling lighter, more mobile, and deeply relaxed.
