Studio Policies & Guidelines

Welcome Home

Welcome home to Flow Yoga & Wellness.

At FLOW we believe in trusting your inner guide and listening to the wisdom of your body.

We believe that following your own flow, allows all of us to follow what is true, authentic and nourishing to all -

self, community and environment. We ask that you leave judgment at the door (Especially of yourself) and do your best to move through your practice—and your presence—with heart, mindfulness, and compassion in body, speech, and mind.

Studio Etiquette

  • Please remove your shoes upon entry. Our studio is a sacred space, and shoes are not permitted on studio floors.

  • Kindly silence your cell phone before class and, if possible, leave it outside the yoga room.

  • Please refrain from bringing food or open drinks into the yoga studio.

  • To support those with sensitivities, we ask that you limit fragrances and avoid wearing strong perfumes or colognes.

  • Please arrive with enough time to settle in peacefully and respect the quiet atmosphere of the space.

Props & Equipment

We provide blocks, straps, blankets, bolsters, and chairs for student use.

  • You are welcome to bring your own towel or pillowcase to place over community props if preferred.

  • Students are encouraged to bring their own yoga mat.

  • A limited number of loaner mats are available if needed.

  • If using a studio mat, please spray and wipe it down after class using the cleaning supplies provided.
