Strengthen Your Calmness

About This Class

Bryan Kest guides students through a richly layered flow that begins in Child's Pose and builds progressively through Sun Salutation-style vinyasas, single-leg balancing sequences (Warrior, Crescent Lunge, Triangle, and Airplane/Warrior III variations), deep hip-opening lunges with shoulder wraps, a bound quad stretch, standing side stretches, wide-leg forward folds, Bow Pose, Cobra and full backbends, Plow, Shoulder Stand, and an extensive supine core and hamstring series with twists. Throughout, Bryan emphasizes breathing deeply and freely as the primary tool for staying calm amid physical challenge — framing the practice as training for life's difficulties. The class closes with approximately five minutes of seated gratitude meditation, explicitly developing mindfulness and mental well-being alongside the physical work. Modifications and rest are consistently offered; the instructor encourages students to personalise every pose to what feels right rather than pushing to pain.
