About This Class

Bryan Kest leads an extended, vigorous all-levels power yoga flow that opens with child's pose and deep pranayama before building into a nonstop sequence of down dog, cobra, plank push-ups, crescent lunges, standing balancing poses, hip openers, twists, arm balances, shoulder stand, and a seated gratitude meditation. The class is framed entirely around mindful self-inquiry: students are repeatedly invited to listen to sensation rather than ego, breathe freely through difficulty, and choose their own intensity — "to a sweet degree." Major body areas addressed include the hamstrings, hips, glutes, quads, spine, shoulders, and core. The floor-based closing sequence moves through happy baby, supine twists, plow, shoulder stand, and savasana. Throughout, Bryan layers meditation philosophy — awareness, non-reactivity, and gratitude — into every physical cue, making this simultaneously a strong physical workout and a contemplative practice.
