NO REALLY THIS ONE TOUCHES IT ALL!

About This Class

Bryan Kest's "Sunday Morning Church" is an expansive, spiritually-framed Vinyasa flow that earns its subtitle — it genuinely touches almost every area of the body and every major aspect of fitness. The class opens on the floor with a long, contemplative warm-up: supine butterfly, bridge variations, shoulder stand (Sarvangasana), plow (Halasana), and a wide-leg seated forward fold before transitioning to the mat for Down Dog. The middle section builds heat through multiple rounds of flowing sequences: Down Dog to side-plank variations, crescent lunge with arm balances and backbend exploration, standing balance work (including bow-like quad stretches in lunge), twisted crescent lunge, Warrior sequences, extended triangle, a lizard/low-lunge hip opener with forearms to the ground, a wide-knee frog stretch, Goddess/standing frog, side-angle with deep crunch variations, and standing Warrior flows. Upper-body strength is addressed through cobra repetitions and slow push-up (chin-to-ground) sequences. The class then transitions to seated work: half-lotus forward fold, seated twist, double-pigeon/fire-log pose with a gomukhasana-style shoulder stretch and neck/trapezius side-stretch. The session closes with wheel pose (or bridge as a modification), a counter-pose knees-to-chest, and an extended savasana. Throughout, Bryan emphasises deep nasal breathing, radical gentleness, self-awareness over competition, and moderation as the foundation of both physical health and personal growth.
