Mon, 10/05/20 – Although there are not any one legged balancing poses in this sequence there is plenty of challenge. Without warm-ups leading us into arm balances then into a lunge sequence then a core triangle then into a spread leg sequence and ending in a deep hip stretch! Wow this is very complete.
About This Class
Bryan Kest leads a full-body, breath-centered flow class designed to stimulate circulation and nourish every joint and connective tissue in the body. The class opens in child's pose with a meditation on deep breathing and stress reduction, then builds through a repeating six-movement warm-up sequence (child's pose → downward dog → plank → cobra → standing forward fold → return to down dog).
From there, Bryan layers in progressively deeper work: one-armed down dog shoulder stretches, spinal twists in down dog, hip-opening lunges with elbow-to-floor pigeon-style holds, runner's lunge with grandma twists, balancing lunges, side-angle and extended side-angle variations (Uttanasana), Warrior-style hero pose with lateral side bends, three rounds of Chaturanga push-ups, prone back extensions (Shalabhasana / locust), a reclined ankle/quad/hip stretch (Vajrasana-style), camel pose (Ustrasana), and a final supine sequence of spinal twists and knee squeezes before Savasana.
Throughout, Bryan consistently returns to the mantra "once you're feeling it, it's working," coaching students to stay within a zone of sweet sensation rather than strain, and to honor asymmetry between sides. The class closes with a guided Savasana emphasizing natural breath and meditation.
