Yoga and Creative Writing At Flow Yoga Westgate with Sanieh M.

Have you ever wanted to more freely express yourselves in movement or within the space of stream of consciousness writing? In this workshop, we’ll explore the association between movement and how it’s associated with non-linear thinking and the creative process.

This is a guided, all-levels workshop open to all regardless of one’s experience or lack thereof where it relates to yoga asana and/or writing.

The intention of this offering is to teach attendees how to adopt an intuitive movement practice with the aim of “priming” or activating the right hemisphere of the brain for creative writing and other art forms and self-expression.

Please bring your favorite journal, pen and yoga mat.

You'll learn how to use props like blocks and straps to make poses accessible. Perfect for complete beginners or those returning to yoga after a break. The relaxed atmosphere welcomes questions and supports your individual journey, whether you're just starting out or wanting to revisit yoga fundamentals.Read class details

Hot Vinyasa yoga offers a dynamic hot yoga experience where poses flow together with breath in a hot room (85-90 degrees). 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

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

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

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

Flow Yoga Westgate in Westgate Austin Texas Sam L.

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.Read class details

Sydney R. June 17, 2025

I enjoy coming to this yoga studio, it has really beautiful energy and I had a big breakthrough with breath work here. Thank you to everyone who makes this place so special.

a k. June 17, 2025

Flow Yoga has a bunch of different yoga styles and it's beginner friendly. The facility is clean and calming. I highly recommend!

Bart F. June 8, 2025

I've been going to Flow Yoga for a couple months now and it's been an awesome experience! The instructors are knowledgeable, the energy is always positive, and the studio space always feels welcoming. Highly recommend.

Logan S. June 10, 2025

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.

FAQ

The breath is like the DJ of your yoga practice - it sets the rhythm and keeps everything flowing smoothly. It helps you stay focused, calm, and connected to your body as you move through the poses.

Yoga for mental health and emotional healing is like a warm hug for your soul. It can help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, while also promoting self-awareness and inner calm. It's like a mental health spa day, but without the cucumber slices and fancy robes.

Yoga is like a soothing balm for stress and anxiety, helping to calm your mind and relax your body. It teaches you to focus on your breath and be present in the moment, which can help to reduce stress and anxiety. Plus, it's a lot cheaper than a lifetime of therapy sessions.

How often you practice yoga is like how often you brush your teeth. Ideally, you should aim for at least 3-5 times a week for optimal benefits, but even once a week is better than nothing. Just like brushing your teeth, the more you do it, the better you'll feel. And trust me, nobody likes a smelly yogi.

Yoga can definitely help with weight loss, but it's not a magic solution. It burns calories, builds muscle, and can help reduce stress-related eating. Plus, it's a lot more fun than spending hours on the treadmill.
