Sweet, Packed, Flow!

About This Class

Bryan Kest leads this "sweet, packed" vinyasa flow that earns its title: the class is genuinely dense with movement yet never loses its characteristic warmth and humor. The session opens in child's pose with an extended invitation to establish nasal, full-lung breathing as a moving meditation anchor — a thread Bryan pulls on throughout. From there, the class builds steadily through repeated sun-salutation-style rounds (downward dog, plank, cobra, down dog) interspersed with bird-dog balancing, push-up variations, and locust/bow-prep backbends. The middle section transitions into a rich standing-kneeling sequence featuring camel variations, lateral side-body stretches, and shoulder openers. The floor work then takes center stage with lizard-pose hip openers on both sides (including forearm variations and quad stretches with a bind), a deep seated forward fold in butterfly, a table-top shoulder/neck balance, legs-up/plow/shoulder-stand, and a closing spinal twist. Bryan consistently frames every pose as a personal "coloring book outline" — students are coached to find their own degree of intensity, keep the neck soft and breath free, and treat the practice as healing rather than performance. The class suits anyone seeking a full-body mobility and strength session with a strong meditative undercurrent.
