Plankdogs, Push-ups, & Dobrushups

About This Class

This class opens with Child's Pose and intentional breathwork to settle the mind before moving into a progressive warm-up of Down Dog, Plank, and low push-ups. The heart of the class is a signature upper-body strengthening sequence Bryan calls "Dobrushups" — fluid cycles of Plank, chin-to-floor push-ups, Cobra, and Down Dog — punctuated by Dolphin Pose and airplane-arm backbends. Standing balance work includes one-legged forward folds, Warrior-style Crescent Lunge, Half Moon variations, and bent-knee balancing, all emphasizing breath synchronization and quality over quantity. The floor sequence covers Bow Pose, wide-legged forward folds, seated half-lotus forward bends, supine figure-four hip openers, gentle spinal twists, and core boat-style leg lifts. The class closes with a long Savasana framed as an active gratitude meditation, with the instructor encouraging a shift from deep intentional breathing to a natural, subtle breath as the focal point of rest.
