Flow Shala

I just completed my 6 week challenge with Flow Shala and I am extremely happy with the results. Throughout the experience of eating clean and consistently working out, I found support from not only the accountability coaches but the members as well. I had a family emergency during my challenge and I experienced nothing but kindness and support.

Flow Shala is a great place to work out. The classes offered vary in difficulty and intensity. The team is very knowledgeable and can help you reach the goals you want to reach. I participated in the six week challenge and the structure and accountability it provided allowed me to get out of my own way and make change. I would recommend this studio to you if you are looking for a wholistic approach to health and wellness.

As a yoga practitioner and teacher myself, I was struggling to find ways to challenge myself within my own practice and bring a sense of freshness to my practice after moving from place to place. Flow Shala did just that. I was hesitant to sign on to the 6 week challenge but now at the end of it, I can say I am oh so happy I took that leap. The flow shala team is there to help you throughout the whole process, from the nutrition end of it, inviting daily meditation into your schedule, and even down to the financial part of it, they're there to work with you to make this experience available and effective. I’m excited to continue working with Flow Shala after my 6 weeks to continue experiencing even more growth within my yoga practice and myself. ☀

Flow Shala is a top-notch training facility (and this comes from a very picky former personal trainer). Their knowledge and experience are reflected in everything they do. It's so much better than a gym...It is a community of supportive individuals working together towards health and wellness. As a 6-week challenger, I've not only experienced the bonus of weight loss, but also the many benefits of daily meditation, journaling, and healthy eating. This experience kick-started me back into taking better care of my physical and emotional health. So, if you're trying to figure out where to go to reclaim your health, look no further, Flow Shala is hands down the best.

My experience with Flow Shala has been very positive. All of the classes I have attended have been excellent. I particularly enjoy Simon's Core Conditioning Class, Summer's Steel Mace Vinyasa class, and Adrienne's Yoga/HIIT class, but I've gotten something out of every class I've attended and all the teachers are passionate and knowledgeable. My wife encourages me to go more often because I'm frequently in a better mood after class. I love being "in the flow."

I am proud to say that I have finished my 6-Week Transformation Challenge at Flow Shala. This was a new experience for me in many ways: I’ve never trained with a group (other than with traditional sports teams); most of the movements were totally new and foreign to me (squats and yoga are not typically part of my life!); and I’ve never coordinated efforts to control my diet with a formal exercise routine before.My Flow Shala experience got off to an unpleasant start as the sales pitch at the “In Person FREE consult” felt extremely high-pressure to me. Though I had heard good things about Flow Shala going in for the consult, after signing a contract and handing over my credit card to cover the “deposits” for the Challenge, I got home and sheepishly told my wife that I was just glad there were no timeshares for sale.Despite the bad taste that the sales pitch left in my mouth, I worked very hard to separate that experience from the actual Challenge experience. While I didn’t find the classes fun by any means, I sweated and worked my way through them and feel proud for sticking with it. I often felt out of my element, having very limited range of motion and not having done anything like these classes before, but was rewarded with knowledge regarding new movement and strengthening exercises. I feel similarly proud of myself for sticking with the practical and effective Flow Shala nutrition plan.I enjoyed all the coaches whose classes I took throughout the challenge. They were all knowledgeable, energetic and effective instructors. I can’t say, however, that I felt so supported outside the classes as I didn’t receive any contact from Flow Shala other than some generic emails which mostly advertised new course offerings. (Admittedly, I’m not a big social media user which it seems is where a fair amount of outreach is done.) After sharing this sentiment at my mid-way check-in, I did receive an additional one-on-one session that I very much appreciated.All in all, I lost some weight, learned some new movements and stretches, and feel a little better about the reflection I now see in the mirror.

I really enjoy Flow Shala! I signed up looking to expand my movement practice and in hopes of meeting like-minded people. Success there! I’ve gained more strength, lost some pounds, improved posture and form, and I feel more connected to myself than before I started — it was JUST what I needed in my life and I look forward to furthering my practices and continuing to better myself with this supportive atmosphere!The people are welcoming and friendly and the instructors each bring their own individual aspects to the studio. I respect and appreciate the solid knowledge they each have to give. Love them all!

The last six weeks with Flow Shala has been so important and meaningful for me. I always thought that group fitness classes would not be for me (because it's just like PE class right?). Training at Flow Shala completely changed that perspective for me, for the better! I LOVE going to class, the instructors are knowledgeable, welcoming and inclusive of everyone's journey. I never thought I would be someone who enjoyed working out. Even though my 6 week challenge is over, I am so excited to stay connected with this studio. I can't recommend Flow Shala enough!

I started the six week transformation challenge 1 week before Christmas. The studio is clean and bright and welcoming. The coaches are ALL amazing. They are all so understanding and welcoming and helpful. They often start off classes by asking everyone how their bodies are feeling and will sometimes change an exercise or at least give specific modifications. I have FIA-a hip and knee issue- and it has been really hard to find workouts that are intense but low impact. Flow Shala offers exactly what I need. I am just a couple days away from the end of my six weeks and I have lost 15 pounds. I followed the nutrition guide almost 100%(had 2 cheat days), and I am amazed at some of the yoga poses I can hold that were impossible when I started. I have found a place where the workouts are fun, challenging, different every time with excellent coaches and I have no hip or knee pain., so I would say I’m a fan :)

Flow Shala was just what I needed to get myself back into a healthy routine. The work outs are very progressive depending on the fitness level you are at. I continue to be challenged each class with the levels offered. The instructors are all very talented, caring and attentive. The studio is beautiful with views of the mountains and the bay. If you are looking to get yourself into a routine, I recommend the 6 week challenge. I am so glad I decided to check out flow shala, it has changed my life!
