About This Class

Bryan Kest leads a richly layered 62-minute dynamic flow rooted in the philosophy that there are "seven and a half billion right ways" to practice. The class opens in Child's Pose with an immediate invitation to establish deep, fluid, unobstructed breathing that persists through the entire session. A progressive warm-up cycles through Down Dog, a series of Baby Cobras, Locust variations, and basic sun-salutation flows, carefully synchronising breath with movement. The middle section builds into standing one-legged balance sequences — Warrior III / Airplane, Standing Hand-to-Leg extensions, and a karate-chop lateral leg lift — before transitioning into a demanding arm-balance sequence that includes Crow-prep knee-to-elbow hovers and Wild Thing / Flip Dog. Crescent Lunge and a long hamstring / hip-flexor stretch flow into deep Pigeon-like hip-opener holds on both sides. The class closes with a wide-legged seated forward fold targeting the groin, inner hamstrings, and pelvic floor, followed by supine spinal twists and a final Savasana. Throughout, Bryan explicitly cues effort at 40–70% maximum, emphasises calmness as a training goal, and frames sensation — not pain or depth — as the guide. The result is a class that is simultaneously challenging and deeply meditative, suited to building strength, mobility, and mental equanimity.
