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.

Instructors are amazing. It's such a cute small studio that leaves a lot of room for community building and socializing. It is super easy to sign up for classes, sometimes even 30 minutes before they start. They just expanded one of their rooms and added a stage which has been a huge help when you are learning new poses.

I'm loving the studio. Besides being a very beautiful space, all the teachers and all the classes I have taken I really enjoyed. After not doing yoga for 6 years I was a little scare to start taking classes, but I have been feeling very comfortable at FlowYoga and teachers are very nice and offer modifications. They have a variety of c=yoga classes and styles. All levels and many many classes 7 days a week. I know they have many locations but I have been going to North Loop because is the one closest to me. As a yoga certified teacher myself I highly recommend this studio.

I move around and travel a lot so I’ve experienced lots of different types of yoga and studios - I have never loved a studio as much as I do Flow! The studio itself is a beautiful, airy space that already helps you orient yourself before class. The teachers are thoughtful, intentional and knowledgeable about yoga from a physical and spiritual lens - I never feel any pressure to keep up appearances in this studio and I’ve never felt more comfortable to take any variation. I am building so much more strength and mobility because the teachers here encourage you to feel your body and find the intent and activation in each pose rather than just making the text-book shape without truly connecting to your body. I can’t reccomend this studio more - it’s a strength, connection and awareness practice for the body and mind 🙏

Finally decided to return to yoga after too many years break, and this studio offers an amazing 30 day unlimited introductory package to new students. The class choices are fantastic and the studio feels like home -- very warm vibe! Highly recommend for anyone new to yoga or returning after a break. I have not tried the advanced classes yet, but I'm sure they are amazing, too!
