Yoga Flow SF - Noe

Review for Rowena & Gregory's Hips & Pelvis Release Workshop As an observer of the hips and pelvis tension release workshop, I found it an enriching and novel experience to see two distinct physical practices—yoga and myofascial release therapy (MFR)—integrated so thoughtfully. This combination provided a valuable addition to the wellness toolkit, demonstrating how MFR can serve as a complementary tool to yoga in supporting overall wellness and managing physical health. The presentation, along with the slideshow and Q&A session, was informative. We learned about fascia as a system that supports our daily well-being, how it moves, and how releasing it can help our bodies better respond to stressors. The opportunity to ask questions and hear insights from others with different backgrounds broadened my perspective on the impact of mobility. Although I attended as an observer, I found the workshop highly insightful and would recommend it to others. There's enough depth in the material to attend more than once and still gain new insights. Rowena and Greg generously bring their expertise to offer students a unique and holistic practice. You are literally in great hands during this workshop. Rowena’s compassion and dedication as a healer/practitioner shine through as she skillfully attunes to the needs of her students. During the workshop, she thoughtfully provided modifications tailored to individual needs, ensuring that the poses were not only accessible but also comfortable. Greg’s intuitive approach allows him to pinpoint areas of tension in participants’ bodies and accurately target treatment areas for deeper release. His hands-on guidance was clear and descriptive, making the practice of MFR with a partner both practical and approachable. Greg encouraged participants to listen to their partner’s feedback as well as their own limitations, ensuring that the practice remained safe and comfortable for everyone involved.

Yoga flow SF is a fantastic hot yoga studio! The interior is such a vibe with the color changing LED lights and minimal decor. The instructors keep the studio at a good temperature, hot but not overwhelming. I’ve been going for a year, the classes are always solid. My favorite instructors are Rowena, Natalie, and Brad. I really appreciate their focus on breath in combination with the practice and their insightful pose corrections. I’ve also taken classes with Danimal and Jim, both are good instructors their classes are more workout + yoga than traditional yoga. I recently did Rowena’s “progression to headstand” January program and had an amazing experience. I went from struggling in dolphin to getting into my first tucked headstand all within a few short weeks! I appreciate that all the instructors offer modifications and poses at different levels.

I am in love with Yoga Flow Noe! First off, the space is magical. It's immaculate, warm, relaxing. The low lighting changes colors to set a great mood. There are even showers! I've taken several classes and among my faves are Jackie's mellow flow class on T/Th morning and Lane's Yoga Nidra class on Friday morning. I always leave relaxed and energized at the same time. I really can't say enough good things about the studio.

I'm not very experienced with yoga or pregnancy but Jane Austin offers a genuinely welcoming, pleasant and enjoyable prenatal yoga class. Her outgoing demeanor, sense of humor, and level of comfort and confidence around pregnant people makes the sessions seem extra special. You're not just signing up to do some moves on a mat--Jane often shares a series of helpful pregnancy and baby-related tips and funny anecdotes throughout the sessions and during poses. Despite her large volume of session participants he also appears to have that natural skill of remembering names. I've only attended two of her sessions so far and it already feels like spending time with a caring friend.

Just WOW! AMAZING CLASSES/BEAUTIFUL STUDIO! It's a complete sanctuary that has a warming feeling the moment you walk in the door. Studio has beautiful exposed wood beams, mood lighting of changing hues as you flow through your class, and a lovely washroom with wood/stones accents creating the perfect space for harmony/balance. I'm an instructor for YFSF (Union St) and have taken most of the classes from teachers on the schedule at this studio. They are all ROCK STARS that are sure to get you bending, binding, floating, twisting, sweating, and feeling better! Had a great time at this studio and excited to return again soon!
