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.

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.

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.

This place is amazing and so value to my personal practice and life. I appreciate the range of intensity they have for their classes as well as the range of type of classes from yoga to meditation to sound baths across all their studios. And their studios are an incredible vibe. I love spending time in their lounge drinking the chai they always have available. This place has become a second home to me and I enjoy it so much.

I’ve been a member of Flow Yoga Westgate for over a year now primarily attending Yin and Sound classes. My experiences with Sam P and Laura F have been extremely beneficial to my life. The studio space is gorgeous with beautiful filtered light and live plants. I am very happy with the quality and value for my money 🙏🏽

I LOVE this place! Great instructors and vibe with plenty of offerings all day, 7 days/week. I’m pretty new to Austin and was hoping to find a home studio and this has become the one. Yoga Flow is a happy, clean and calm place.

I just started Flow Yoga a few weeks ago. It is my favorite studio! It is a beautiful place with big windows and plants. The classes are not overcrowded so there is room to move. The instructors are so kind and encouraging. I go to classes about 3 times/week and look forward to each one. So happy to be here!!!

I started going to Flow Yoga after being sick for a few months, and it's been just what I needed to feel like myself again. The studio is beautiful and has such a calming vibe. They offer a great variety of classes, and all the teachers are fantastic. Parking is super easy, and their prices are affordable with no contracts! When I was adjusting my membership, Annie was super helpful—I got all my questions answered and everything set up quickly over chat on their website. Thanks, Flow Yoga, for being such a great support on my healing journey!

5 star rating Mindy H. 5 star review for Flow Yoga Westgate November 13, 2024

I'm so glad I found Flow Yoga. I started with their 30 days for $30 offer and tried out a lot of classes and have loved all of them. I appreciate that the yoga instructors take their time, are thoughtful with their guidance, and let you move at your own pace. I've been out of practice for a while and have never felt intimidated in a class. Instead I feel like I've found a nurturing community and relaxing place to visit when I need to take care of myself. Thanks, Flow Yoga!
