what is Real Flow Yoga?

Real Flow Yoga is a training school and a growing community of yoga teachers that share a vision.

 

Our ethos is to take a flow-state approach to teaching and practicing yoga. The concept of Flows-State is universally understood, tangibly experienced yet less understood. Recent breakthroughs within positive psychology and neuroscience have shown how flow-state improves learning, wellbeing, optimises productivity and performance and increases overall happiness.

 

We bridge the gap between these contemporary findings from psychology and neuroscience and explore the parallels with the ancient teachings of yoga in order to keep yoga relatable, authentic and REAL.

 

Rather than ‘style’ of yoga, we flow between many styles and lineages to enable us to adapt to our students needs.

 

Our training considers intelligence as three-fold; instinct of the body, intellect of the mind and intuition of the heart. We unlock the 3-aspects of intelligence throughout our training methodology by cultivating mindfulness, trust and authenticity.

 

We offer 12  Real Flow Yoga Signature sequences heat flow yoga which are inspired  by ashtanga, prana flow, tripsichore and jivamukti and cool flow yoga which are inspired by sivananda, hatha, yin, restorative and lunar yoga.t

Research from the field of positive psychology on the flow state was first described in the 1960’s by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi.

 

He identified the factors that when combined, encompass the state of flow.

 

Commonalities in the flow-state are described within the experience such as complete involvement, being fully focused, with all of one’s attention unto one thing, being receptive and attentive to the moment.

 

This brings a vibrancy, creativity, joy and deep involvement within ordinary daily life.
