Nervous System Care: Yin, Somatic Movement, Hypnagogic Guided Meditation At Flow Yoga Westgate with Sam P.

In today’s world, chronic stress feels like a constant weight—tightening the chest, fogging the mind, and leaving tension locked in the body. Without regular care, this imbalance can sap resilience, disrupt health, and lead to exhaustion that affects your entire being.

This restorative Yin practice is a tactile journey inward, designed to help you feel grounded, clear, and renewed. Through breath practices, somatic movements, and restorative Yin poses, you’ll feel tension ease from your body and a sense of calm flow into your mind. The session concludes with Tension & Trauma Release Exercises, a sound bath that resonates through your body, and hypnagogic guided meditation to gently guide you into a deep state of relaxation. Together, these practices work synergistically to retrain the autonomic nervous system (ANS) to move more naturally between activation and recovery. The benefits of committing to this practice include:

• Building Resilience: Feel your body settle into its natural rhythm, oscillating between effort and ease, reducing the long-term impacts of stress.

• Preventing Burnout: Release the heavy grip of accumulated tension, allowing your body and mind the chance to fully reset and recharge.

• Promoting Long-Term Health: Sense the body’s vital functions—digestion, immunity, and energy—come back into balance as you find space to truly rest.

• Enhancing Self-Mastery: Deepen your awareness of your body’s signals, uncovering clarity and confidence as you reconnect with your inner world.

This practice isn’t just an escape from stress—it’s a tactile journey back to yourself. A sensory reset for your nervous system. Through the sounds, sensations, and stillness offered in this session, you will tap into a deeper part of yourself .

Vinyasa keeps you constantly moving through creative sequences that never feel repetitive. The combination of heat and continuous movement creates an energizing practice that quickly builds internal warmth, promotes detoxification through sweat, and helps muscles stretch more deeply.  The hot environment intensifies the experience, creating greater flexibility and a purifying sweat without the extreme temperatures of some other hot yoga styles.Read class details

Kundalini Yoga combines powerful breathing techniques, dynamic movements, and focused meditation to awaken energy in your body. Classes typically include repetitive movements (called "kriyas"), specific breathing patterns, chanting, and meditation that work together to balance your glandular system and strengthen immunity. Unlike other yoga styles, Kundalini sessions often feature rapid breathing, rhythmic movements, and holding positions while breathing in specific patterns. These practices help release stored tension, increase mental clarity, and create a sense of emotional balance and wellbeing. Suitable for all abilities - every exercise can be modified to match your current fitness level. Pro tip: Each teacher brings their unique approach to Kundalini Yoga. Try at least 5 different classes to experience the wide variety of exercises and techniques this practice offers.Learn more about KundaliniRead class details

The new moon is the darkest night of the month. It's a time when we can illuminate the darkest parts of our being, including emotions like grief, loss, and anger.Drawing from the practice of Nada Yoga, the yoga of sound, we will use singing bowls as a way to relax deeply & tap into into the deeper layers of ourselves.This relaxing event is a mini-journey into yourself, we begin with a short discussion on the New Moon, followed by a short meditation as we move into the sound bath. Whether you're feeling stagnant, overwhelmed, or simply seeking solace, this event offers a sanctuary for self-care and rejuvenation. The New Moon can be an invitation to pause, reflect, and nurture yourself amidst the company of kindred spirits.Read class details

Easily the best, most affordable, and most welcoming yoga studio I've ever been to! I just joined about a month ago on the new member plan, the fact that I've gone to dozens of classes already for only $30? ... insane! Honestly, I think the unlimited plan is so so worth it if you're looking to go more than once a week, too. I used to frequent another studio in austin and eventually stopped my membership because the cost was not sustainable for me and I never really.. clicked with the classes. Every class there either felt too challenging or too relaxing. But here, I don't feel that at all! Every single teacher has been so welcoming, always include plenty of options to modify poses and have very unique touches to their classes. Plus the actual space is gorgeous at the Westgate studio!! I've already renewed my membership for the next month and can easily see myself staying for a long time to come

Ariana V. May 20, 2025

Have been to several classes over the past 2 months and have greatly enjoyed this studio. Several different teachers with different styles and flows available. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. Would recommend for beginners and/or seasoned yogi's. Will be back for more.

Christina A. May 13, 2025

I started going to Flow Yoga on their 30 days for $30 pass which is such a good means of introducing their studio. I am more than likely going to sign on as a regular attendee as I’ve so enjoyed the classes. The space is beautiful and the instructors are welcoming and kind. I am a bodybuilder so dynamic movement isn’t as common for me in my day to day and have been using this as a means of getting back to my dancer roots, relieving aches and pains, and connecting with my body and it has been wonderful. Can’t recommend this studio enough. My favorite class so far is JJ’s flexibility + mobility. Check them out!

alexa s. May 14, 2025

Flow has a great variety of class types & levels and special events. I returned to yoga with reduced abilities after many years away and felt very welcomed here, even in classes with more demanding content.

Alexa C. May 2, 2025

I am loving the variety of classes offered at Flow Yoga. There is a wonderful community gathering at the Westgate location and all of the yoga instructors have been very knowledgeable and welcoming.

Mary L. April 30, 2025

Flow Yoga has become a safe space for me and part of my daily ritual, and for that I am so grateful! Every class I have taken - Flexibility + Mobility with JJ, Flow with Jillian, Somatic Movement and Self Massage with Venus, and many others - has been very fulfilling and exactly what I need. Each teacher seems to be in tune with the students and what we need for that day, and I walk out of class feeling better than going in. I have only been to the Westgate and 3rd Eye locations, but the quality and care at both are consistent and incredible. I highly recommend Flow to any Yogi, whether you are just getting into your Yoga journey or you have been practicing for a long time!

Lucy H. May 1, 2025

This studio is awesome. The room is one of my favorites, the staff is friendly, helpful and I always have a great session no matter which class I take. The accommodations are clean and I appreciate not having to lug my yoga mat and props around.

Cynthia April 22, 2025

Great yoga studio with a lot of different class options

Amanda N. April 22, 2025

So lucky to have been a part of this beautiful community for the 30 day trial period they are currently offering! I spoke with the manager on my first day in and she was kind enough to inform me of the 30 days for $30 deal. She showed me around the studio and I was surprised to see they have everything a yogi needs (mats, bolsters, blocks, and blankets) available to borrow during every class. This creates a safe space and community for beginner and advanced yogi’s alike. I’ve been to four or five classes a week during my trial and every instructor at the Westgate location is extremely kind, knowledgeable, and patient; offering modified poses throughout the class. The energy of everyone in the building is so warm and inviting. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Via F. April 24, 2025

Just recently my wife and I joined here at Flow Yoga and I have to say I’m super pumped on the overall vibe of the space and the community who practices here. The flow classes are perfect for a chill practice with great pace and as hard as you want them to be. The teachers whose classes we have attended are all highly knowledgeable and attentive. Definitely recommend coming!

FAQ

Yoga can help with fatigue like a shot of energy for your body. It can help improve blood flow, increase energy levels, and reduce stress. Plus, it's a lot more fun than drinking a cup of coffee every day.
