What to expect
“A moving meditation”
When you hear the term “yoga flow”, or “a flow”, the type of yoga probably being referenced is Vinyasa. A Vinyasa flow is a strung together series of posture + breathe, moved through in a rhythmic flow. With a variety of poses and transitions available, nearly no two classes are alike.
A bystander with no background knowledge may look upon a vinyasa yoga class and think it is all free-flowing movement with no sequence or series, and, well, that’s the fun of it!
The derivative of the word Vinyasa:* “nyasa” means “to place”* “vi” means “in a special way”
There is consciousness and purpose to each pose, position, transition, breathe. Vinyasa is a playground - we can run around freely, feel wind in our bodies and fire in our souls, in a controlled environment, set by sequence.
While no two vinyasa yoga classes are alike, there are commonalities that streamline through each of them:
In a Vinyasa yoga class, you engage your Ujjayi Breathe. This is the act of inhaling deeply and exhaling thoroughly, all through your nose. This generates a feeling of relaxation, giving intention to each and every inhale..… and exhale.
Ujjayi Breath also helps build heat in your body during the practice, which coincides with another factor of the Vinyasa flow - it can be a bit of a cardio workout. The Sun Salutations, along with Chaturanga Dandasana, add some aerobatics to the vinyasa flow, and this is where you typically work up a sweat.
Sun Salutations - the standard warm up of a Vinyasa yoga class; a set series of movement that, physically, bring you up into a mountain pose and down, again, onto your belly, within the course of a few breathes. There are two components - Sun A and Sun B - and, typically, you move through each set three times.
Chaturanga Dandasana - this is the key transition that ends / begins each section of the series. It engages the core, arm muscles, back muscles…. well, let’s just say it engages the entire body.
Limited breathing? Cardio workout?? Excuse me, what?
No worries - like every practice of yoga, a sacred child’s pose is always available to you. And, your instructor will guide you through each piece of the practice, advising ways you can alter or adjust to fit the flow into the practice your body needs.
And, again, no two classes are alike - your instructor will take the standard blueprint and make it their own, based on their own teachings, experience, intention and general individuality.
A Vinyasa flow is a great way to engage strength, sweat, body and mind. It provides joy and peace, all in one. A moving meditation.
So, what are you waiting for? Let’s play.

I can't say enough wonderful things about Yoga Flow - North Loop! From the moment you step through the door, you feel an incredible sense of belonging and community. The studio does an amazing job of fostering a warm, welcoming environment that feels like a second home. Many of us live around the area and walk to classes. I get to meet up my friends here and share a cup of tea with after a class. The instructors here are top-notch. Michael's classes are my personal favorite. Each one brings their unique style and expertise, making every class both enriching and inspiring. Each instructor genuinely cares about each student, offering personalized guidance and encouragement to help you grow in your practice, no matter your level of experience. What truly sets this studio apart is its focus on learning and mindfulness. Whether you're working on the basics or exploring more advanced techniques, every class feels like an opportunity to deepen your understanding and connection to yourself. The sense of local community is palpable here. From fun events to friendly conversations before and after class, Yoga Flow is a place where connections are built and nurtured. This isn't some uptight boujee studio - this is community, this is all people from all walks of life meeting for a common love and goal. Highly recommended! 🌟

This is a really special studio. There is a true sense of genuine community, and all of the instructors are friendly and bring their own unique vibe and style to practice. Rates are super flexible and affordable as well. Right now, it’s only $50/month for 1 class per week. And it truly is easy to cancel or take a break if you need to. That’s hard to find at other studios and gyms. Highly recommend Flow Yoga!

Great classes for a variety of levels, and dedicated people. This studio is really welcoming and they do try to engage everybody in different ways -- such as holding community events, free yoga mats for classes and a constantly-updated website that makes it easy to sign up for classes or cancel if you can't make it.

Just started my first month and I am so glad I signed up! All of the teachers have been so warm and friendly, and I love that the studios don't have mirrors - I can feel myself connecting with my body so much more, and thinking less about how I look. Highly recommend Kundalini with Gurudhan or Vinyasa with JJ, and looking forward to trying more classes ✨
