What to expect

The intention of these classes is to provide a container of healing by supporting the body with the use of postures and props designed to facilitate the release of mind-body tension and bring the central nervous system to a state of balance and recovery.

Restorative yoga, also known as gentle yoga, is a type of yoga that aims to relax, revive, and refresh the body, mind, and spirit. 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.

During a restorative yoga session, you will experience slow and gentle movements, extended poses held with the help of props such as blankets and blocks, and an overall atmosphere of tranquility and ease. The poses can be held for a duration of two to twenty minutes. While restorative yoga may be similar to yin yoga, the two practices have differences. Yin yoga is intended to stretch deep layers of the body through long-held poses that apply a deliberate amount of stress while restorative focuses more on relaxing and supporting.

One of the most popular yoga myths is the belief that you need to be flexible before ever setting foot on a mat. The truth is, flexibility isn’t a prerequisite. In fact, a regular yoga practice will actually help you become more flexible over time. Increased flexibility can help decrease the risk of injuries, create a better range of motion of joints, lengthen muscles, improve balance and overall health!Flexibility + mobility is a fun, judgment-free space, suitable for all levels. In this class we will work on different muscle groups and joints each week, using Functional movements, CARs (Controlled Articular Rotations), Kinstretch techniques as well as Myofascial release to improve range of motion and flexibility. Props such as straps, bolsters, blocks, and tennis balls will be used to target specific areas and help ease your body into the poses and stretches. Modifications and options will be offered throughout the class.

Yoga means union, and also union of opposites...effort and ease, strength and flexibility. To find balance in the body, we need both movement and stillness. Flow +Chill is a combination class, starting with a slower paced vinyasa, followed by restorative poses (supported by props). We will flow for half of class to warm the body up, then take the second part of class to stretch, release tension and dive into a deeper state of chill.Some classes might include sound healing, breathwork or meditation.

Wonderful range of class offerings and locations. Definitely recommend!

5 star rating Krista M. 5 star review for Flow Yoga Westgate April 2, 2025

I can't believe I've lived in Austin for so long without discovering Flow Yoga. I love this studio, the staff, the instructors, the clients. Everyone I've come into contact with have been open, warm and welcoming. The Ra studio is light, airy and large. I like the built in stage and when the instructor uses it, it helps that everyone in the class can see them. I like that the instructors can be hands on as being manipulated into the correct postures is a key to understanding and practicing to your best ability. I would highly recommend anyone to give this wonderfully inclusive, spiritual studio a try. I'm also excited to be taking my first teacher training class here with Angie. I've been waiting for years to find the right course. I hope its everything I have been waiting for.

5 star rating Sasha P. 5 star review for Flow Yoga Westgate April 1, 2025

Great range of classes and the events on the weekend makes this studio different from others and help foster community. The space inside is very beautiful and smells nice. It’s affordable and I even found a great masseuse who works from a beautiful room there. They always have mats to borrow for free if you forget yours. Sometimes there are some technical glitches on the mindbody app where it won’t allow you to sign up for weekend or one-time events, but if you come to the studio you can sign in easily there.

I arrived at the studio by a happy accident, and ended up staying for the entire day. Flow Westgate is a spacious, clean, and vibrant studio with friendly staff and comfortable amenities. With plenty of options for all levels of yogis, I highly recommend this Austin studio.
