Reach for Eternity

About This Class

Bryan Kest leads this vigorous 71-minute flow beginning in Child's Pose with an immediate emphasis on deep, conscious Ujjayi breathing as the anchor of the entire practice. The class builds methodically through three progressively layered warm-up flows — each cycle adding crescent lunges, chair-style squats, standing side stretches, twists, and low lizard-style forearm variations — creating genuine cardiovascular heat without impact. Standing sequences include Warrior, Triangle, extended side angle variations, and wide-legged forward folds with clasp binds behind the back. Balancing and core work appears through "awkward airplane" (bird-dog variations on hands and knees) and single-leg balance. The cool-down moves through seated wide-leg forward fold, Camel, supine spinal twists, knees-to-chest, and a rolling transition to a comfortable seat. The class closes with a guided gratitude meditation (Pranayama released into natural breath) and a long Savasana with explicit instruction on breath-as-mindfulness. Throughout, Bryan frames the practice philosophically — equanimity, self-mastery, and non-competition — making mindfulness and relaxation as central as physical effort.
