Simply Repeat

About This Class

Bryan Kest opens this full-length flow class with an extended child's pose breathwork foundation, establishing nasal breathing and meditative focus as the through-line for everything that follows. The class moves methodically from downward facing dog into a carefully rehearsed six-movement flow (sun-salutation-style) before expanding into one-armed balancing variations, low lunges with deep hip openers, crescent lunge with twists and heart-opening backbends, and repeated locust/bow pose sequences to strengthen the posterior chain. Kneeling backbends (camel) are explored in three progressive rounds, giving students time to find their own depth. The floor sequence includes a pigeon-like hip opener, supine twists, a seated staff/boat pose (Navasana), a playful archer pose (Akarna Dhanurasana), plow/shoulderstand inversions, and a long savasana. Throughout, Bryan constantly cues softness in the neck and jaw, deep free breathing, and personal moderation — explicitly inviting students to skip or modify anything that doesn't suit them. The class is framed squarely around stress relief, spinal health, and hip mobility rather than fitness performance.
