No Ego Amigo

About This Class

Bryan Kest leads this philosophy-rich, full-body dynamic flow in which the central theme — "no ego" — is woven into every physical and verbal cue. The class opens in Child's Pose with an extended invitation to quiet the mind, deepen the breath, and cultivate calmness as a practice in itself. From there, students move through multiple rounds of a foundational sun-salutation-style flow (downward dog, forward fold, Chair Pose, Cobra/low push-up), progressively layering in Crescent Lunge, Warrior, Twisted Lunge, Reverse Warrior lean-back, low Lizard with forearm variations, Triangle, a bound side-angle variation, and Pigeon. Standing balance sequences challenge students to find steadiness through leg lifts, airplane pose, and lateral leg extensions. The floor cool-down features a supine spread-leg stretch, Plow/Legs-Up-the-Wall inversion (Shoulderstand progression), supine twists, and a full Savasana. Throughout, Bryan frames intensity as sensation-guided rather than performance-driven, repeatedly cueing students to find a "sweet spot" rather than push to an extreme, making the class accessible across levels while still physically demanding.
