Flow and Glow Yoga

Flow and Glow Yoga has quickly become one of the most popular yoga classes at Yoga Now Chicago. It offers a fantastic way to unwind from the stress of the week and let your mind and body rejuvenate. The class focuses on breathing and encourages guided movements as you stretch and strengthen each of your key muscle groups. 

What is Flow and Glow Yoga?

Flow and Glow is a Vinyasa style yoga class, which means that you will flow through a variety of yoga poses and movements with your breath always at the center of your movement. Vinyasa Yoga classes are typically less structured than other yoga types, allowing you and your instructor the space to move and breathe in the way that feels right for you.

As the name suggests, Flow and Glow Yoga is designed to help you flow smoothly through the poses and to let your energy shine through. Rather than solely being a tough workout, Flow and Glow Yoga is more about renewing your energy by tapping into your breath and letting it fuel your movements.

Flow and Glow Yoga is the perfect class for those looking to enjoy a fun-filled, faster- pace session in the studio. As you continue your yoga practice, you’ll learn more ways to develop the fluidity of your movements and how to keep your breath at the forefront of your practice. These principles will allow you to recharge and energize after a busy or stressful day.

Importance of Flow and Glow Yoga

We all know what it feels like when tasks start piling up at home or at work. We get stressed, tense, and anxious–all of which can take a toll on our physical and mental health over time. We aren’t doing our best when we’re carrying stress, feeling run down, or low on energy.

This is when Flow and Glow Yoga becomes so important. Flow and Glow Yoga gives you the space in a supportive environment to release stress from the mind and body. As you move through a Flow and Glow sequence, you are instructed to tune into your breathing, which offers vast meditative benefits and reconnects your body and mind after a hectic week.

Flowing smoothly through the movements of a Flow and Glow class is meant to help you release built-up tension and stress and restore your energy to face the next week with a renewed mind and body. Nothing can be more important than taking the time to check in with your physical and mental health.

Benefits of Flow and Glow Yoga

All types of yoga come with their own host of benefits for the mind and body. As long as you are taking the time to connect with your breath and energize your body, you will be sure to notice the benefits of a regular yoga practice. 

Flow and Glow Yoga is a unique class that will offer you a range of powerful benefits, including:

Deeper mind-body connection

Flow and Glow Yoga is all about restoring the connection between the mind and the body through focused attention on the breath and slow, deliberate movement sequences that challenge you to concentrate on each move. This kind of sustained attention on your breath and movement requires effort and focus that will strengthen your mind-body connection over time. You will hopefully begin to notice the rewards of this practice seeping into the rest of your life.

Increased flexibility

While fun and relaxed, Flow and Glow Yoga still involves holding poses and flowing through the movements in ways that challenge your body and improve overall strength and flexibility. You can look forward to a full-body class that will help you stretch out and relieve muscular tension from a busy week. If you’re looking to improve your overall fitness, Flow and Glow Yoga is a great way to relax, get in shape, and reconnect with your body.

Boosted mental well-being

Flow and Glow Yoga is definitely a physical experience, but it brings about just as many mental benefits. Vinyasa yoga classes encourage you to tune into your interior self, which can help you unwind from a chaotic work schedule that pulls you in different directions. A relaxing Flow and Glow Yoga class is a great way to get some mental clarity and approach your next week with a renewed mindset.

Improved physical health

When you exercise your body and clear your mind, your physical health gets a boost, as well. Carrying around stress can start to wreak havoc on the body, leading to problems like weaker immune responses, poorer cardiovascular health, and lower quality sleep. Luckily, Vinyasa yoga classes like Flow and Glow involve sequences of moves that challenge your strength, balance, flexibility, and range of motion, which can lead to better overall physical health outcomes for those who regularly take some time for themselves and build up their yoga practice.

A friendly yoga community

After a long work week, one of the best ways to unwind is by joining a fun community of fellow yoga lovers at Flow and Glow Yoga. Being part of a supportive class environment can give you the added boost you need to power through and reconnect with yourself and with others around you. While yoga is a predominantly inward experience, a friendly, fun-loving yoga community can add to the experience and enhance your connections with others who share your passion.
