What to expect

Yin Yoga is a contemplative style of yoga that involves holding poses for an extended period, typically three to five minutes or more. It is a slower-paced, more meditative form of the physical and spiritual discipline of yoga. Unlike other types of yoga that focus on engaging the muscles, Yin Yoga aims to target the connective tissues through passive holds and little muscular effort.

Yin yoga is meant to help promote balance within your body by working the deep connective tissues. It is a branch of hatha yoga, an ancient Indian practice that focuses on stretching and strengthening the physical body to prepare for sitting meditation.

Yin Yoga is based on three fundamental principles known as Tattvas: Edge, Stillness, and Time that are to be expected in every class. The edge refers to how deeply you go into each pose, which varies for each individual and is determined by the natural limits of your body. Props, such as blocks or blankets, can be used to support the body and help you find your edge. Once you find your edge, the goal is to remain still, and breathe deep and consistently, in the pose for an extended period of time, allowing the deep connective tissues to release. The length of time spent in each pose is an essential aspect of Yin Yoga, as it provides ample time to fully release and obtain maximum benefits.

Flow Yoga is a lovely place to do yoga and re-build strength/muscle after some physical issues that have come with age and stubbornness. At 65 it's nice to find a judgement free zone with super knowledgeable, kind instructors and students.

This studio is the best I’ve found in Austin! The classrooms are large with high ceilings, have soothing lighting and lots of plants keep the space feeling so fresh and restorative. The classes are full but not crowded so there’s always a place, even if you decide to pop in for a class at the last minute. The best part is the variety and schedule they offer! So many types of yoga to try, different intensity levels and classes well into the evenings. They even offer specialty classes and sound healing and fun seasonal classes that help us connect with each other, expand our practices and build community. The acceptance and inclusion you feel as soon as walk in the door makes you want to keep coming back. ❤️ Truly restorative - Flow really understands what we need!

Flow Yoga Cedar Park community member networking at Casa de Luz in Austin Texas

Monday is busy, but it can also be enjoyable! I love working and hanging at Casa de Luz and @thirdeyemeditationlounge having meetings over a wonderful cup of cacao, catching classes (included with Flow Yoga membership btw 👀) and it’s also a great place to network and meet people. If you haven’t been, definitely come visit this hidden sanctuary in the middle of the city!
Flow Yoga Cedar Park instructor Carolina in yoga pose outdoors Austin Texas

If you have told 2012 Carolina, that the studio she just started teaching at, would one day be hers and not only that, it would expend all over Austin to 6 more locations. She would have laughed and laughed and tell you that was impossible. Dream big, even when you can’t see the whole picture. Do the work, especially when you don’t feel like it. Keep showing up, even on the days it feels like nothing is happening. Stay teachable, especially when you think you’ve already figured it out. Trust consistency. The magic isn’t in doing something extraordinary once, it’s in doing the ordinary, over and over again. The life that feels impossible now may just be waiting for the version of you who’s ready for it. Sometimes your future doesn’t need you to believe. It just needs you to take the next step. 🤍

Flow Yoga Cedar Park outdoor group yoga class in park Austin Texas

I LOVEEE what I do and I’m SO grateful to share ALL the things that bring ME so much joy, so others can CHANGE their lives like I did mine✨ My client sent me the sweetest message about how she loves watching me achieve my dreams, About how I look at home teaching yoga 🧘🏼‍♀️ Reading it, it meant so much to me🥹 I really sat with it thinking, I walk the walk as MUCH as I do BECAUSE the role I play is a BIG deal to me. I talk with my 1:1 clients ALL the time about their DREAM lives. Creating healthy habits, consistency, joy, boundaries, openness to opportunities, the list goes ON and on. It’s CRITICAL I always do the same 👑 Today all in all was such a vision board day for me. Truly because I just LOVE what I do and the thought of touching dozens of souls, even if it’s just with 60 minutes warms my heart. I was told early on in my self development and weight loss journey I was going to be a yoga teacher, I denied it to my CORE, I could never talk… let alone “exercise” in front of people…. Today…. I can’t even deny how ACCURATE the shaman was 👀 Thank god he led me here anyway 💖✨
Flow Yoga Cedar Park yoga Austin Texas

I’m back to my personal practice, routine and slowly catching up with all the work (be patient with me if you are waiting on my replies 😮‍💨) Coming back home after 6 weeks of traveling feels so weird, like I’m limbo, ungrounded… My mat is always the best place to land, feel at home in my body and mind, it felt amazing to be led by @zainabzakariyoga and her masterful skill of storytelling while leading a Flow class themed around the goddess Durga. Durga is one of the most revered goddesses in Hinduism. She represents divine feminine power (Shakti)—the force that creates, protects, and transforms. Rather than embodying only gentleness or only strength, Durga symbolizes the union of both. Which was a fun coincidence to have this practice right after my post from yesterday 👀 Zainab will be sharing all about the Goddess Durga in her classes at Flow Cedar Park this week, highly recommend! It’s good to be back…

I’ve been feeling so stiff, disconnected, and overdue for something just for me… so I spontaneously tried hot yoga. 🧘‍♀️✨This was my third time ever doing yoga in my 35 year old life and @flowyogatx did not disappoint! I feel great! 😊 . I was able to join this class for free - though it does not mean I will not be returning 😉 - thanks to ClassPass! I reactivated my account and got 43 free credits so I was ecstatic to get back into classes. Here’s 20 bonus credits on me if you join @classpass through my referral link below. Cedar Park has grown enormously since I was last on, so the pool of studios and classes available are 🫶🏻. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ https://classpass.com/refer/QN0F2H4J28?placement=OnDemand . Also, please, anyone, help me find the name of this song! It was beautiful and I was too shy to ask the instructor after class. 😭 . #HotYoga #GrowthSeason #MomLifeBalance #35AndThriving #TryingSomethingNew
