Our Heartfelt Thanks
It is an appropriate time for us at Flow to extend our deep gratitude to you, those who have sustained this studio and communtiy over the past six years. Flow continues to change and shift, but what has always been so essential is the love, joy, and spirit that infuses the atmosphere. We are so honored and grateful for the loving support that allows Yoga to continue to prosper and touch the lives of so many.
We are so thankful for our amazing sangha/community here at Flow. Celebrate with us Thanksgiving Morning for a special Gratitude class at 9:15 am featuring Live Soulful Acoustic music with Michelle Goguen (90 Minute Intermediate Flow Class). This class will feature less instructional cues so we can enjoy the music, so its not appropriate for first-timers. Stephanie is teaching and Connie will be adjusting/assisting.
Turkey Burn Cycle Class 8 am Thanksgiving - sign-up early - this one sells out!
Deeper Flow monthly theme class w/ Jody Friday morning 9:15-11:15 am.
All afternoon/evening classes cancelled on Thursday & Friday. Regular class schedule Sat & Sun.

December Theme
THEME: Svadhyaya: study of self
PRACTICE: silent meditation
Svadhyaya is the movement to understand one's self on an intellectual, emotional, and mental level. As we become more conscious of our body, mind, and breath, our yogic practice allows us to become more aware of how we react or rejoice to each moment of success, challenge, or stillness.
It is when we can understand the nature of our thought and feeling that we can discover what we are not. Finding out who you are not gives rise to the spaciousness in which you find your Self as you really are--Unknown, Mysterious, and Unconditioned.
Svadhyaya allows us the opportunity to learn about all the little ins and outs of our little person, and how we've come to believe in this story called "me". When we see that our lives have been toward living out this little story, there is the grace of something much more vast taking over our lives, our being.

The JOY of Life with Sybil
Nov 30th - Dec 4th
Consider this a stay at home yoga retreat. We will be practicing every morning from 6 until 8 am Mon Nov 30th until Fri Dec 4th. Each morning will have a theme to contemplate while moving through Asana. Each day we will take with us some mindfulness practices to integrate into our lives. This retreat will give you a wonderful opportunity to finish out the year with a re-commitment to, and a remembering of, a consistent, living, Yoga Practice.
Price - early bird $95 Before Nov 15th, $125 thereafter
Our intention is to set a practice before work/life begins each morning. We will be looking into various themes each day and allowing some deep listening into how it feels to be practicing every morning for 5 days.
~ Ask and you shall receive
~ Divine Order - the path to freedom
~ Passionate living within the paradox
~ Exploring pure thought
~ Relationship of oneness and autonomy
We will be touching on these and more juicy themes
