Will Power

About This Class

Bryan Kest leads this aptly named "Will Power" flow through a rich, vinyasa-less sequence that prioritises sensation over performance. The class opens in child's pose with an extended focus on deep, calm breathing before moving through a thorough warm-up of cobra pulses, locust variations, and twisted down-dog variations. The bulk of the practice is upper-body intensive — plank holds, modified chaturanga, cobra, and locust progressions — intertwined with creative one-armed down-dog balances (supreme balancing), Vasisthasana (side plank), and arm-balance entries. Hip-opening low lunges with elbows to the floor, standing figure-four squats (ankle-over-knee), bent-knee airplane balancing, and deep toe-squat shoulder-bind twists round out the standing and transitional work. The floor sequence targets the hips and hamstrings with happy-baby, goddess-leg spreads with toe holds, supine core scissors, and supine spinal twists before settling into a seated gratitude meditation and a full savasana. Throughout, Bryan consistently encourages students to back off, be gentle, and treat the body with humility — framing the practice as healing rather than performance.
