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.

Yin is a slow, mindful practice that targets the connective tissues, such as ligaments, joints, and fascia. Working with the energetic systems of the body, Yin Yoga brings the body into balance, and improves its natural range of motion. Most poses are done while seated or lying down supported by the use of props, and are held in stillness for several minutes. As we move into stillness, we bring body, breath and soul into harmony. It’s a perfect complement to physical yoga practice. You will leave class feeling refreshed, renewed and restored.

5 star rating Terry 5 star review for Flow Yoga Westgate March 12, 2025

Flow is a wonderfully unpretentious studio. The rooms are especially spacious with homey touches and plenty of gear to borrow like bolsters, blocks, and blankets. I really appreciate that the instructor area is raised so the entire class can see if they need help! Every instructor/class type I've tried thus far has been to welcoming, inclusive, and knowledgeable. I prefer this studio as a home base over all the others that I have tried.

5 star rating Amelia S. 5 star review for Flow Yoga Westgate March 6, 2025

The teachers I've experienced at Flow Yoga are some of the best in Austin. There are more traditional yoga practices - which I prefer. Some classes are educational and spiritual in nature - which I love. As a trained yoga teacher, Flow yoga classes are the real deal.

Lovely studio! You have a lot of variety of options and it is welcoming to all skill levels of yoga. I enjoy their sunday wellness session the most, it is a lovely way to intentionally reset for the week ahead. The cacao and tea are also two great bonuses to attending :)
