Yoga Flow is a dynamic, breath-driven style of yoga that links movement and breath in a continuous sequence of postures. Often called Vinyasa Yoga, this class builds heat, strength, and flexibility while promoting mindfulness and body awareness. At the YMCA of Greater Cleveland, Yoga Flow is designed to meet you where you are—whether you're exploring the flow for the first time or returning to a regular practice.
This style of yoga is energizing, grounding, and adaptable, making it a favorite for those seeking physical challenge and mental clarity in a single practice.
All of our instructors are highly trained and hold a minimum of 200-hour yoga certification or equivalent discipline-specific credentials, ensuring that every class is led with expertise, safety, and care.
