Open Your Legs

About This Class

Bryan Kest leads a brisk, self-exploratory flow class designed to open the hips, hamstrings, pelvic floor, and inner thighs. Starting in Child's Pose and moving quickly into Downward Dog, the class builds through several rounds of a gentle Sun Salutation-style flow (Downward Dog, Forward Fold, Cobra, Plank) before progressing into dynamic standing sequences: high leg lifts with knee-to-elbow core work, low lunge variations with arm-wing extensions, standing balance poses including twisted knee-to-chest, single-leg standing balance, and bent-knee warrior balance. Floor work includes locust variations, bow pose, a supine spinal twist, and a seated Baddha Konasana (butterfly) forward fold explicitly chosen to access the hips, pelvic floor, and upper inner hamstrings. Throughout, Bryan frames every cue as a suggestion, prioritizes breath freedom, and encourages students to find their personal range rather than force depth. The class closes with a brief Savasana. Ideal for those with tight hips, tight hamstrings, or stiffness from sitting, and for runners needing post-activity recovery.
