FLEX & FLOW PDX
Your home in Portland for yoga, HIIT, run club, and more
GET TO KNOW US
This studio has been life-changing for me. The instructors always bring incredible energy to their classes and creative powerful flows that stretch you out and get you sweating. On top of all that you gain the most supportive community and your biggest cheerleaders. Whether you love power flows and HIIT or some chill stretchy classes, Flex & Flow has it all.

This isn’t your typical snooty yoga/barre studio or gym (and we’ve all felt intimidated by those joints.) People come here to work but also to feel like a supported part of a group. Teachers know your name, students smile at you, and any question or concern is surfaced and addressed. Even if you don’t come with a friend like I did, you will feel connected.

FAQ
-
What should I bring to class?Bring a mat, towel, water bottle, proof of vaccination (if it's your first visit), any props you'd like, and positive attitude! For HIIT & Flow, bring gliders or something to slide on, or you can rent gliders at the studio. Members can use rental gliders and mats free of charge if they forget them.
-
What should I wear to class?Wear something that you’ll feel comfortable in—anything that you can move, sweat, and breathe in is great attire for yoga! And if you’re coming in for bootcamp, don’t forget to bring your sneakers!
-
What should I expect in my first class?When you arrive at the studio, check in at the front desk. Your instructor will greet you, help with any mat or glider rentals, and show you where to put your shoes and other belongings. You'll see our instructor set up in the corner - with our web cam and fancy lights for virtual classes - and students arrange their mats facing that corner. If you're taking your first HIIT & Flow class, read this student's review!

For a religious accommodation, members must provide a written attestation. A doctor's note or religious attestation must be provided to the studio at least 48 hours prior to your class via email or in person. This will only need to be provided one time.

-
What information are you storing? Will my vaccination status be shared with anyone?We will review your proof of vaccination, but we will not make or store a copy of the proof itself. Instead, we will note in our system that your vaccination status has been verified, which allows us to avoid having to ask you for proof each time you come in for class. We will not share your vaccination status unless we are required by law or court order to do so.

Can I show proof of a negative COVID-19 test instead of proof of vaccination?No. Proof of a negative COVID-19 test is accepted for entry only if you have been granted an accommodation for a medical or religious exemption.

-
I’ve never done yoga. And I’m slightly terrified. What can I expect?We’ve all been there. Whatever hesitations you have, throw them aside, grab your mat, and just come to class and trust that you’ll be in good hands. We provide a welcoming, safe, and inclusive space for all levels, all ages, and all bodies. You don’t have to be flexible and you don’t have to have any sort of introduction to yoga to get started – you just have to begin! If you’re brand new, arrive a few minutes early for class, let the instructor know you’re new, and get ready to have some fun. And once class starts, remember, it’s just yoga. Don’t take it or yourself too seriously. Just come ready to breathe, sweat, explore your body and movements, and play. And if you need to sit on your mat and just breathe, that’s perfectly fine – in fact, as long as you’re breathing, you’re doing yoga.
-
Can you suggest classes that are good for beginners?We suggest starting with a Flow & Chill class, a Vinyasa Flow class, or a Chill class. Can’t make it to any of those times? Don’t fret! Our Power Vinyasa classes are also suited to all levels.
-
I want to take a livestreaming class. How do I access it?When you sign up for any class that offers a livestreaming option, the Zoom link will be sent to the email address associated with the account you used to register. Having trouble finding it? Send us a text 971-251-2612 or email hi@flexandflow.org
-
Do I need to keep my camera on?Nope! Whether you keep your camera on or off is totally up to you - although it's fun to get to "meet" you through the screen. We do ask that you keep your microphone muted while class is in session though.
-
Can I watch an on demand class without a membership?Yes! Visit our on demand library to find the perfect class for you and then purchase it as a single class. Unlimited on demand library access is included in Unlimited, Pay-It-Forward, and Digital Studio memberships.
-
What should I bring to a HIIT & Flow class?Bring a mat and something to slide on like gliders, socks, or small towels if you're practicing on wood floors. If you're practicing on carpet, try paper plates.
-
What if I can't do the whole class?Modifications are always welcome and we highly encourage you to listen to your body and take breaks when you need. While the workout is meant to be challenging, it's up to you to determine the appropriate level of challenge for yourself during a given class. Nobody will judge you for making the right decision for yourself! Above all, we want you to leave class feeling strong, accomplished, and healthy.
-
I've never done yoga. Can I do HIIT & Flow?Definitely! Many of our students started with HIIT & Flow before they ever stepped into a yoga class. Be prepared to move quickly through the power vinyasa warmup, but don't worry if you can't keep up with the poses. It'll feel more and more comfortable the more classes you come to. Remember, this is designed to be a challenge, just take things at your own pace!
-
Where can I learn more about HIIT & Flow?We suggest jumping right into class with us. All classes are welcoming, motivating, and filled with modifications and amplifications for all levels.
-
What if I don't have gliders?No problem! If you don't have gliders, you can use socks to glide on hardwood floors or paper plates to slide over carpeting. If neither of those options work or you prefer otherwise, you can do all of the movements without sliding. Instructors will offer options throughout class. We also have gliders available to rent in the studio, if you're joining us for in person classes. Purchase your own gliders here.
-
I want to teach HIIT & Flow. How do I get certified?That's awesome! You'll need to come to one of our NASM-AFAA certified 35-hr HIIT & Flow teacher trainings. Since the workout creator is our co-founder (Jamie King!), you'll be getting the best training possible! Head over here to learn more about trainings and get notified about the next opening.
