About This Class
Bryan Kest leads this fully supine, gentle-yet-substantive class he calls "Yinish" — longer holds than a typical flow but shorter than traditional Yin — meaning you get broad coverage of the body without ever leaving the floor. The class opens with a butterfly-legs grounding pose and progresses through bridge (with heel raises and interlaced fingers), supine spinal twists, a detailed single-leg sequence (figure-four, half lotus, straight-leg hamstring stretch), core-intensive scissor and hollow-body variations, a three-minute shoulder stand, fish pose with optional leg lift, a full-body stretch with arms overhead, and closing supine twists before Savasana. Throughout, Bryan weaves in extended mindfulness guidance — using the deep breath as a meditation anchor, framing the class as a practice of quieting the mind, and encouraging students to stay within the twin boundaries of calmness and safety. Props (block and strap) are offered as optional modifications. The tone is philosophical and nurturing, making the class equally suited to stress relief, hip and hamstring tightness, post-sitting recovery, and anyone seeking deep relaxation with just enough challenge to feel alive.

Been practicing with Bryan for 27 years, the sweaty, the intense. LOVED this all-floor practice. Very Yin-ish.

Classes like this are hard to come by, online and otherwise. But, this is frequently exactly what I’m looking for. Thank you!

Once again you’ve done it Maestro! Wow! Just Wow! This is a deliciously lite version of long, slow and deep and I’m feeling mighty, stretched, and free. I give a mighty thumbs up to Yinish, definitely a new favorite for me…??

Loved this class! Healing a broken left hand and injured right shoulder (overcompensating for the gimpy left limb). Hardest thing is giving myself permission to use a pillow and strap and get out if my ego. This is a gentle class – but BK gentle.?

This practice made me feel so light and stoned afterwards. Another good one B! ??

Really great class. The Yinish touch is really nice. The blast of abs in the middle is a real test. It is amazing how if you can get in touch with the breath every thing is achievable. As always Bryan is straight up telling you it’s within you and not about how the pose looks. Everyone needs this class more than they know.
