From the reviews

If you feel called to Riverflow: go. Truly, it has changed my life in every single way. I have been going for a little more than a month now, and I wanted to wait to write this (long) review so that it could be genuine and authentic to my experience.

Riverflow is the best yoga studio in the country. It focuses on your spiritual and physical development for a very fair price. It’s extracurricular activities and events with its expert yoga instructors keep you coming back for more.

★★★★★ — Zach, May 2022

I just finished my 212th class at River Flow, so I feel like I’ve officially earned my right to write this review. When I first walked in, I couldn’t touch my toes. Not even close. I’m a military vet with some back issues as souvenirs, and I wasn’t exactly sure yoga was for me. Spoiler: It is.

★★★★★ — Cody, Jul 2025

I cannot say enough good things about this place. It’s more than just a yoga studio it’s a community. I’m a beginner yogi and I have always felt welcomed in every class I took here. Before you even enter you can start to feel a sense of calm and comfort. The instructors are amazing.

Your first hot yoga class at River Flow Yoga and Wellness

Nervous about your first hot class? Almost everyone is, and a good studio expects beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: the room is heated, so it feels intense for the first few minutes — rest in child's pose any time you need to, no one will bat an eye. Hydrate: drink water through the day before class, not just as you arrive, and bring a bottle. What to bring: a mat and towel (or rent them here), water, and a change of clothes; wear something light you don't mind sweating through, and skip a heavy meal in the couple of hours beforehand. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and set up. It gets easier fast — most people say their third class feels completely different from their first.

Heat and intense exercise aren't right for everyone — if you're pregnant or have heart, blood-pressure, or other health concerns, check with a doctor before your first hot class.
