You Choose The Pose

About This Class

Bryan Kest leads this richly philosophical flow class with an unwavering emphasis on tuning inward — treating breath awareness as the primary practice and physical movement as its vehicle. The class opens in child's pose and builds through foundational sun-salutation-style sequences (cobra, down dog, plank, forward folds) before layering in standing balances, one-legged standing poses, and an extended bird-of-paradise preparation sequence with deep hamstring and hip openers. Highlights include Bruce Lee Asana (standing leg extensions), airplane-wing balancing, eagle arms on the knees, camel pose, and supine twists. A seated hip-opening sequence with foot-on-knee and foot-under-knee variations rounds out the active work before a grounded, extended savasana with guidance on quieting the mind. Throughout, Bryan repeatedly invites practitioners to find their own "right degree," keep the breath free and deep, and approach challenge with equanimity — framing the entire class as a moving meditation and antidote to stress.
