What to Expect
Stretch: Yin is your reset button — slow, deep, and way more powerful than it looks. This yin yoga class balances out your high-intensity workouts (and high-intensity life). Class often starts with a gentle flow to get you warm, then drops you into seated or reclined postures held for 3–5 minutes. These longer holds stretch and hydrate connective tissues, release deep tension, and give joints the space they need.
It’s not about cranking into pretzel shapes — it’s about breathing, softening, and finding that sweet spot where “ahhh” meets “oh wow.” Stillness isn’t easy… it’s spicy in disguise. Instructors offer props (blocks, bolsters, blankets) and supportive options so you can settle in without stress. No rushing, no competing — just you, your breath, and that “I didn’t know I was this tight” realization.
Who It’s For
- Athletes needing recovery and mobility
- Desk warriors with stiff hips and shoulders
- Stressed-out humans craving calm
- Anyone who wants to move better, feel looser, or hit pause
Tight muscles are welcome here — maybe even more than flexible ones.
What to Bring
- Yoga mat, water, comfy clothes
- Props provided (blocks, bolsters, straps, blankets)
Music & Vibe
Grounding playlists set the tone — mellow beats, acoustic, ambient layers. Calming but not snoozy, with a touch of Popflow personality to keep it real. The room feels peaceful but still alive.
What Makes It Popflow
Other studios make Yin feel like a monk retreat. Not here. We keep the depth and benefits while dropping the overly serious vibe. Expect humor, warmth, and cueing that feels human, not robotic.
What You’ll Get
- Deep release of tension and tight spots
- Improved flexibility and joint mobility
- A calmer nervous system (bye stress, hello balance)
- The perfect counterbalance to your sweaty workouts
Stretch: Yin FAQ
Do I have to be flexible?
Nope — the tighter you are, the more you’ll get out of it.
Will I fall asleep?
Probably not. The vibe is grounding, not nap time… but let’s be real, we’ve all dozed off in savasana at some point.
How long are poses held?
Usually 3–5 minutes for max release.
Is this a workout?
Not really. Think recovery, not sweat.
Why Popflow Yin?
Because we make slowing down approachable, fun, and effective — not boring or precious.
Stretch: Myofascial
Release + mobility with targeted tools.
Want to learn more?
What to Expect
Stretch: Myofascial is recovery, but make it Popflow. This stretch + release class blends yoga-inspired warm-ups, targeted stretching, and myofascial release using props like straps, blocks, and therapy balls. You’ll start with dynamic movements — light flows, pulsing stretches, bouncing drills — to get blood moving. Then you’ll dive into shorter, repeated stretches and trigger-point work designed to unstick what’s stuck, open what’s tight, and restore mobility.
Think of it as part spa day, part “hurts so good.” It’s recovery that actually works — more effective (and way more fun) than rolling around at home wondering if you’re doing it right. Every class adapts to what your body (and the group) needs most that day.
Who It’s For
- Athletes and lifters who need legit recovery
- Desk warriors with chronic stiffness
- Curious movers exploring mobility techniques
- Anyone who wants to feel looser, lighter, and better overall
If you love performance but hate feeling tight, this one’s your secret weapon.
What to Bring
- Yoga mat, water, and curiosity
- Props provided (therapy balls, straps, blocks)
Music & Vibe
Upbeat tracks for warm-up, mellow beats for release. The vibe is relaxed, playful, and approachable — not clinical. And when the therapy ball hits just the right spot, we’ll probably laugh with you, not at you.
What Makes It Popflow
Recovery doesn’t have to be boring. We mix proven techniques with creativity, variety, and personality so you actually want to come back. No sterile vibes, no cookie-cutter sequences — just results.
What You’ll Get
- Major tension relief (goodbye knots, hello freedom)
- Improved mobility and range of motion
- Faster recovery from tough workouts
- That mix of “ahhh” and “ohhh” you’ll crave weekly
Stretch: Myofascial FAQ
What’s the difference from Yin?
Yin uses long, static holds. Myofascial adds tools and shorter, repeated stretches for deeper release.

Sometimes — in the “hurts so good” way. Always safe, always guided.
Do I need experience?
Not at all. We’ll walk you through every technique.
What areas get targeted?
Hips, shoulders, spine — all the usual suspects where stress hides.
Why Popflow Myofascial?
Because we make recovery fun, approachable, and addictive in the best way.
