Strength & Stamina

About This Class

This one-hour power yoga flow with Bryan Kest is built around a core sequence — sun-salutation-style movements linking Downward Dog, Plank, Cobra, Crescent Lunge, and Warrior-balance variations — repeated and progressively enriched with additional poses each round to steadily deepen strength and stamina. The class weaves in standing balances (single-leg airplane, knee-to-chest, standing twist), deep hip-opening lunges with elbows on the floor, deep quad stretches in low lunge, Camel pose, a supported inversion (Plow/Shoulderstand), and supine core work before settling into supine spinal twists and a brief Savasana. Throughout, Bryan emphasises nasal breathing as the heart of the practice, frames every pose as a "buffet" — take what serves you, leave the rest — and consistently encourages moderation over depth, making the class accessible to a wide range of levels. The session is framed as a wellness practice targeting stress reduction, general mobility, and full-body conditioning, with particular attention to the hips, hamstrings, quads, spine, and core.
