Read tips and learn everything you need to help you get started and enjoy your time at River Flow Yoga and Wellness

Every week we welcome people who are absolutely brand new to yoga and group yoga classes. We completely understand how starting something new can be intimidating, especially if you don’t really know what to expect in your first class.

But don’t worry! Although yoga can be challenging, it really isn’t about doing the poses “perfectly.” Our teachers are there as guides, but it’s up to you to listen to your body and practice at your own pace and comfort level. Don't know how? Again, it's nothing to be anxious about! Just reach out to our teachers or staff with any questions or concerns, so we can help you get comfortable ASAP!

We want you feeling better than you did before walking into class, but that doesn’t mean we expect you to change into something you are not. You are you and you start where you start. At first, it may feel uncomfortable to enter a room full of strangers and move in ways you might not have in years, but no one's going to judge you for learning something new, or what your body can and cannot do, or for seeking relief from pain, or, really, for anything at all. 

Our studio is a safe place to re-discover who you truly are, what you're capable of, and how to find peace from within.

Yeah, that might sound deep to someone who just wants to increase flexibility or get a quick workout, but after a few classes we hope you’ll begin to understand what yoga can do for your entire life, and how a consistent practice will open doors to new possibilities and experiences you never thought possible!

We even have a NEW STUDENT SPECIAL to give you plenty of time and opportunity to become more comfortable in your yoga practice!!
