About This Class

This class opens in child's pose and immediately establishes its core teaching: a deep, fluid breath through the nose is the foundation of everything. From there Bryan moves through progressive warm-up rounds — down dog, side-angle variations, plank flows, cobra, and crescent lunge sequences with twists, heart-openers, and forearm-inside lunge variations. A dynamic "warm-up three" sequence introduces chair pose, standing side bends, one-legged down dog, airplane balance (Warrior III variant), bent-knee balance, and hand-behind-back down dog. The second half shifts to deep floor work: wide-leg seated forward fold, single-leg forward folds, reclined figure-four (supine pigeon), supine twists, happy baby, and a reclined leg-spread hamstring stretch. The class ends with camel pose, a seated gratitude practice, and savasana. Throughout, Bryan emphasizes going to a "modest degree," listening to the body, taking breaks freely, and treating the practice as a healing rather than a workout. No explicit contraindications are named, though he repeatedly encourages modification and backing off whenever something doesn't feel right.
