About This Class
This class opens with a grounding breath focus and moves methodically through three escalating rounds of sun salutations, beginning with a classic Salutation A, adding chair pose and crescent lunge for Salutation B, and culminating in a full third flow that layers in three-legged dog, standing side bends, crescent lunge with a core twist, low lunge with forearms inside the foot, and a twisting down-dog bind. Between and after the flowing sequences, the instructor introduces longer holds — chair pose, tiptoeing balance, crescent lunge, and forearm-inside-lunge — to deepen mobility and build stamina. A notable mid-class segment targets balance and posterior chain strength with one-legged down dog, "awkward airplane," and a reclined quad stretch/bind in plank. The class closes with a wide-legged seated forward fold, supine figure-four hip openers, supine spinal twists, and a brief Savasana with a breath-focused meditation cue. Throughout, the instructor emphasizes finding your personal edge, breathing freely, and never working through pain — making the class accessible across experience levels while still being genuinely challenging.

Wonderful vibrant class! Worked out the deep muscles of the body. Old school – ???? When there is such deep rich content, a beautiful wrapper is not needed … Thank you, B&M!

Very lovely long slow flow through the three salutations. Very safe, strong and perfect after a hectic hectic day. Fantastic evening flow.

I love every class! But I loved how this one started pretty intense but I was still able to go at my own pace. I’ve done it twice now. Feel better, Brian! Sending you healing energy while you recover from your injury!

Whew… wonderful cardio flow. Missed doing these 3 warm up sequences … it’s been a while. Def challenge to the stamina, but loved seeing the dew of sweat on the yoga mat. Totally invigorating on a cold morning!

I thoroughly enjoyed the little bit of banter between you and Melissa. She has to be the greatest yoga model of all time!!!! It was a nice class physically and pretty amusing too. Thanks Bryan and Melissa 🙂

this forearms down for a millisecond and bounce back up is purely detrimental UNLESS someone is extremely warm – which Bryan – we are not here in this sequence – not cool bro – I am pretty advanced and I would hate to see “grandmas” / “omas” you always speak of – like Rudy Mettia says – you wouldn’t teach like that if you had to do it yourself – but then maybe you would as a 45+ yr practicioner – phooey
