Reverse Warrior

About This Class

Bryan Kest leads a short, accessible tutorial on Reverse Warrior, framing it as a "sweet, sensual pose" focused on creating length rather than intensity. The sequence builds logically from Child's Pose to a gentle Downward Dog, then lifts into a Balancing Lunge before pressing up through Warrior One and transitioning into Warrior Two. From there, Bryan carefully guides the right arm into a sweeping overhead arc — palm down, arm close to the ear — while the left hand slides down the left leg to a personally appropriate depth. Key alignment cues include spreading the right knee and right hand away from each other to lengthen across the pelvis, keeping body weight off the outer left knee, and optionally rotating the chest open toward the ceiling. The instructor emphasizes personal comfort throughout, offering options for heel alignment and neck position, making this an ideal class for anyone looking to gently release the side body, hips, and quads.
