About This Class

Tension Buster with Bryan Kest is a full-body flow class that uses continuous breath awareness as its anchor, inviting students to dial down mental noise while moving through a well-rounded sequence. The class opens in Child's Pose and Down Dog to establish nasal, deep, smooth breathing before layering in a sun-salutation-style flow (Cobra, Plank, Down Dog, forward folds, and standing rises). The middle portion is rich with hip-opening and twisting work: one-legged Down Dog variations, knee-to-elbow core work, arm-balance prep on the tricep, Runner's Lunge, Balancing Lunge, Crescent Lunge, Warrior, and Extended Side Angle / Lateral Stretch. Wide-legged standing forward folds and a squat (Malasana) target inner thighs, groin, hips, and hamstrings. The class closes on the floor with a wide-legged seated forward fold, supine happy-baby, plow/legs-overhead variations, a shoulder-stand-style inversion, supine twists, and a generous Savasana. Throughout, Bryan emphasises moderation, self-compassion, and using sensation rather than aesthetics as the guide — making the class equally accessible to beginners and experienced practitioners willing to scale up.

    Excellent class, I feel awesome as I always do after Bryan’s class. I appreciate your gentle reminders to make each practice our own unique expression of what feels right in our own body…thank you!

    Missed this… got lost over the years in my yoga journey, and different intonations of it ….. but coming back to Bryan’s classes is like coming home (started with his videos 20 some odd years ago). His no BS, do as you feel and laughter filled classes are liquid gold……. glad to be back. PS The squatting in India comments made my day 😀

  • Virginia

    The BEST class for when you’re a lot stressed with only a little time. The longer holds really burn out the tension. Total bliss.I love this for lunch breaks or after work when I’ve had a hectic day or week.

    A well balanced class with a slow start, energetic middle, and relaxing end. A few of my favourite poses in one compact class.
