Flow's infrared hot yoga takes the best elements of traditional hot yoga and adds an extra layer of comfort and care. The gentle warmth from infrared panels envelops you in a cocoon of relaxation, making each pose feel like a comforting embrace. Unlike traditional hot yoga, where the air is heated, infrared heat targets your body directly, offering all the benefits of warmth without feeling stifled.
I don’t think we were poolside for more than 5 minutes before my friend and neighbor, James (a year younger and much bigger), pushed me in. I don’t think he did it to be mean, it’s just something little boys do. I have never been so terrified in all my life.

When I stepped onto the rock, it never occurred to me that I might be swept off of it. Initially, I tried to hold my ground when the wave hit, but then the water rushed over my head and I realized how helpless I was to its sheer force. I remember reaching for the rocks, trying desperately to find something to hold onto and failing. I didn’t feel my body hit the rocks though I know it did. I had no choice but to surrender and ride the wave, and I was filled with a sense of both panic and calmness. I didn’t know if I would come up – I didn’t even know where up was.
