Why we don’t heat our studio 🔥
Absolutely no shade to heated studios - I myself started my Yoga journey in a hot yoga studio, and I have so much respect and love for heated studios. At the time, 12 years ago, it was the latest trend in the Yoga world (and still is), but I learned it wasn’t what I really needed. And there are some of you who do need that - the heat, the detoxification, the challenge - power to you, and there are some great new studios in the both Blue Mountains and Port Macquarie areas! But we’ve curated Flow State intentionally to not have artificial heat, and here’s why.
Our practices are rooted in tradition - a traditional that has withstood the test of time (a few thousand years actually). In both Yoga and Pilates, we’re not here to push the body through performance — we’re here to connect to it. To listen. To feel. To become fully embodied in movement.
Yes, movement in a heated space can feel stronger, more intense, even harder. But harder doesn’t always mean better.
At Flow State, we prioritise nervous system regulation, proprioceptive awareness, and somatic control. We value the quality of breath, the integrity of movement, and the development of a deeply embodied connection between mind and body.
For us, practice isn’t about performance — it’s about presence. We’re also not trying to be everything for everyone - just the right place where we can practice traditional and authentic Yoga + Pilates with a holistic approach to physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health and wellbeing.
If you’re seeking movement that supports regulation, awareness, and embodiment so that you can enjoy the true beauty of life, join us in studio.
