Virgoasana

About This Class

This dynamic flow class with Bryan Kest builds heat progressively through a rich sequence of one-armed down dogs, balancing poses (airplane, crescent lunge, bent-knee balancing), repeated push-up/cobra cycles, twists, hero pose with side stretch, standing forward folds, core work, and a supported shoulder-stand inversion — all woven into a single unbroken moving meditation. Bryan emphasizes breath freedom above all else: if a listener couldn't tell from your breathing that you were challenged, you're doing it right. He repeatedly frames the practice as healing rather than performance, urging students to find their personal degree in every posture rather than chasing depth for vanity. The class closes with supine twists and a guided meditation on following the soft breath at the nostrils. It suits anyone wanting a well-rounded full-body challenge that simultaneously cultivates mental calm, core and upper-body strength, hip and hamstring opening, and balance — with the clear message that modification and skipping poses are always valid choices.
