What to expect

“A spiritual energy or life force located at the base of the spine”

Kundalini yoga is a unique, stress-relieving practice, described as a sleeping, dormant potential force in the human organism. A component of the “subtle body”, the Kundalini practice is deemed to awaken the energy and consciousness, coiled in the root chakra at the base of your spine, and ascend to the 7th, enlightened crown chakra...

Chakra? Enlightened? .. what?

If you’re new to Kundalini, or yoga in general, no worries! In layman’s terms, Kundalini is a spiritual practice as much as it is physical, and it is a cherished option from beginners to advanced yogis alike. So, if this is your first time here, you’re in the right place! And, if you’re a returning, die-hard practitioner, welcome back.

Let’s start with the basics. In a typical Kundalini class, there are three parts:

  • An opening chant, or “tuning in”
  • A “kriya”, which is a sequence of postures paired with breathing techniques, and a brief warm-up for your spine
  • A closing meditation with the sound of gong or song

Different kriyas use different breaths, and the most popular breathing technique is “Breath of Fire”. With sealed lips, you take short, quick breathes, in and out of the nose, at the rate of about two to three breathes per second (yes, a bit like a dog panting…). As you breathe, air is expelled in powerful spurts, engaging your core, as well as reducing stress, boosting brain function and improving respiratory health.

Chanting and singing are major components of Kundalini, and while there are endless mantras and songs, most classes start with Adits Mantra, which means - “I bow to the subtle divine wisdom, the divine teacher within.” Another common chant is Sat Nam, which means - “I am truth.”

Kundalini classes are meditation-heavy. Each set has different poses that involve movement, breathing techniques, mindfulness and a mantra. Between postures, you have a minute or two to relax, reflect, focus inward, and after the entire set, relaxation is followed by meditation, and a closing mantra to take with you.

According to research, Kundalini yoga can impact cognitive function, boosting both concentration and memory, and the Alzheimer’s Research and Prevention foundation even recommended a Kundalini kriya for improvement of memory retention. It is no surprise the practice’s seen a meteoric rise, and we’re here for it!

One last question… why do the Kundalini yogis where white? The color white is thought to ward off negative energy and extend your own aura. You do not have to wear head-to-toe white, but you’ll see it’s quite common! Teachers often wear a white head covering, such as a hat, scarf or turban to contain the energy in the body.

So… what do you think? Kundalini can be a bit odd at first, we know. But, we love it. Given a chance, we think you will, too.

I am OBSESSED with this place. If I wasn't traveling / moving again I would have easily made this my go-to spot living in Austin. Every instructor, class and fellow student was so kind and warm. I can't wait to come back every time I visit Austin

5 star rating Brooke F. 5 star review for Flow Yoga Westgate February 11, 2025

This is a proper yoga studio! In the age of performative spirituality and competitive mindsets, the teachers at Flow Yoga bring grounded, authentic, creative, and healing energy to every class. My favorite class is Meg's Sunday morning Mobility & Flexibility class but I'll also do anything taught by JJ Pepper.

5 star rating Paige L. 5 star review for Flow Yoga Westgate February 12, 2025

I’ve been going to Jillian’s amazing flow classes on Tuesday and Thursday evenings for over a year and can’t say enough about them. Recently, having more time on my hands, I’ve been checking out daytime classes and have been consistently impressed by all of the instructors. The studio is truly a magical place where no matter what is going on in your life, if you make it there and onto a mat you will always be so glad you did.

5 star rating Victoria H. 5 star review for Flow Yoga Westgate February 4, 2025

I’m so glad I found Flow Yoga Westgate! All of the instructors are caring and truly love what they do. Not only do they offer a great variety of classes and schedules but they have wonderful special events and retreats. I love the sense of community I feel when I’m there.

5 star rating Lisa G. 5 star review for Flow Yoga Westgate February 4, 2025

Every class I’ve attended at Flow Yoga has been better than the last! Truly a great spot to get your yoga fix-whether you want to relax, build strength, build flexibility, or just get a really good workout, Flow Yoga has it all.

5 star rating Alicia C. 5 star review for Flow Yoga Westgate February 5, 2025

I wanted to get back to a regular yoga practice at a studio, so I tried Flow Yoga Westgate with their new student special. The studio staff, instructors, and clientele are very welcoming. There are a variety of instructors, yoga styles, and classes available at times that work with busy schedules. I love it so much that I continued with the Unlimited option. One of the nice things about this "membership" is there are no contracts, no sign-up fee, and no cancellation fee. A bonus is their tasty yogi tea!

5 star rating Janet R. 5 star review for Flow Yoga Westgate February 6, 2025

Flow Yoga is everything you want in a yoga studio/community. I am so grateful I found them! The classes are transformative and healing, every single one! And the instructors are encouraging and soothing, challenging and nurturing. I feel like I'm floating when I walk out of each class. Even with a busy schedule, I am able to find a class/studio I can make it to, and kept my 30 day daily commitment to yoga. Now that 30 days have passed, I'm completely hooked and fully committed to Flow Yoga.

5 star rating Sherry K. 5 star review for Flow Yoga Westgate January 29, 2025

I love it here! I've never belonged to a yoga studio and I've felt welcomed. This is a great place for a beginner (such as myself) to enjoy yoga and not feel intimidated.
