  • Power Flow

    Power flow is a vibrant ten-phase arc that will challenge and strengthen your practice. Your instructor will guide you through centering, warm up, Sun As/Bs, standing poses, core, backbends, twists, forward folds/hip openers, inversions, and a gentle closing. A majority of classes are heated to 80-85°F. Instructors provide hands-on assists for those that opt into the support at the start of class.

    We also offer amazing classes outside of Power Flow, check us out!
