This slower-paced flow class connects breath with movement. You'll be constantly moving from one pose to the next, without stopping between positions. The teacher guides you through a series of positions that build strength, improve flexibility, and help with balance.Classes typically start with simple stretches, move into a sequence where you're always in motion, and end with relaxing poses. The teacher gives step-by-step instructions and shows easier or harder options for each position. This class works for everyone - beginners get simpler options while more experienced students can try more challenging versions. You'll leave feeling stronger, more flexible, and more relaxed.Read class details

Flow Yoga Westgate in Westgate Austin Texas Jacq S.

Vinyasa yoga is a creative form of yoga. Yoga poses are linked together with the breath in a flowing sequence. Expect to move, sometimes vigorously, from pose to pose. This practice stimulates and energizes the mind and body through asanas (poses), with focus on the breath. This class will help you to build strength, increase endurance, create flexibility, and release tension.If you appreciate having things a little loose and like to keep moving, this style is definitely worth a try.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

Yin Yoga in Westgate Austin Texas on 2025-06-07 at 1:30 - 2:30pm

 
Flow Yoga Westgate in Westgate Austin Texas Maggie M.

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.Read class details

Flow Yoga Westgate is wonderful! They have lots of different classes and tons of time frames to fit a busy schedule. Everything about the studio is top notch!

Kelly M. May 27, 2025

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!

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 is like a circus performer, juggling multiple tasks at once. It improves your balance by strengthening your core and leg muscles, and it enhances your coordination by teaching you to move your body in sync with your breath. Just don't expect to run away and join the circus after a few classes.

Yoga helps with mindfulness like a GPS for your mind, guiding you towards the present moment. It can help you learn to focus your attention, reduce distractions, and increase self-awareness. Plus, it's a lot more relaxing than listening to a robotic voice telling you where to turn.

There are many different types of yoga, each with their own focus and approach. Some of the most common include:

  • Ashtanga: a dynamic and physically demanding practice
  • Bikram: a series of 26 postures and two breathing exercises, practiced in a heated room
  • Iyengar: a meticulous style that emphasizes proper alignment and the use of props
  • Kundalini: a spiritual practice that involves chanting, meditation, and dynamic movement
  • Restorative: a gentle practice that uses props to support the body in passive postures.

Yoga can help with depression like a ray of sunshine for your mind. It can help reduce stress and anxiety, improve self-esteem, and increase feelings of happiness and well-being. Plus, it's a lot more fun than sitting in a therapist's office all day.

Expect to feel like a human pretzel at times, but don't worry, you'll eventually become a master of the art of twisting and bending. You'll also likely experience a sense of calm and relaxation, and possibly even a newfound appreciation for your body and its capabilities.
