Our new yoga studio at the Sojourn location has been welcoming clients since April, offering infrared, rhythm-based vinyasa classes that reflect FlowCorps' love of experiential, functional movement and a commitment to innovation and a value add for our members. We’re also excited to bring yoga to our 4th location in Durham this fall. And looking ahead, the incredible Madison Cronk will be opening and operating our 1st West Coast studio in San Diego, offering both reformer and heated mat Pilates. North Carolina members, look for heated mat Pilates on our Durham and Raleigh schedules later this year!

Let’s talk about the “why” behind bringing yoga to FlowCorps. Our yoga program is born out of a collective love for the practice, and it serves as a complement to our Pilates and tread formats. Across all modalities and class types, we incorporate functional fitness and a steadfast focus on alignment, paired with the rhythm and compositional structure of music. This allows you to experience a class that is equal parts safe, effective and fun. We talk a lot about “flow state” at FlowCorps - the opportunity to be fully present and immersed in the task at hand, so much so that time and preoccupation melt away - and our yoga classes are a perfect opportunity to get out of your head and be present to your body and the moment.

The Sojourn mat studio is equipped with infrared heat panels, which create a gentle warmth that helps detoxify your body, boost circulation, relieve muscle pain, and enhance flexibility. The choice to use infrared heat was intentional. At FlowCorps, our goal is to ensure a challenging, yet joyful and immersive experience. The use of heat provides the opportunity to sink deeper in poses and further your practice.

As we continue to grow, we're excited about expanding our yoga offerings and introducing new classes. Our Durham location will open this fall, followed by our first franchise in Charlotte and our new West Coast location in late 2024 or early 2025.

Come join us at Sojourn and experience the immersion and intentionality of our rhythm-based yoga classes. At FlowCorps, it is our pleasure and privilege to be a part of your life, bring joy to your day and help you find your flow state. Thanks for being part of our community and for your continued support as FlowCorps works to provide the best fitness experience in the Triangle and beyond!

Emphasis on Rhythm::

The Unique Experience of Our Classes at FlowCorps

At FlowCorps, our mission is to create joy. Over six years and innumerable classes, we're steadfast in our knowledge that movement to the beat, the rhythm, and the basic compositional structure of music is a pathway to joy and a pathway to flow state. Rhythm is at the heart of what we do at FlowCorps. It's more than just a background beat; it's the pulse that drives our classes and connects our community. This rhythmic approach is especially impactful in group fitness settings, where the collective energy of moving to the same beat enhances the workout experience in profound ways.

Flow state is a mental state where you are fully immersed in the activity at hand, losing track of time and external distractions. It's a state of being where everything clicks, and you perform at your best. In our rhythm-based classes, the synchronization of movement and music helps participants enter this flow state more easily, making workouts not just effective but deeply enjoyable.

Entrainment, the human instinct to move our bodies to external rhythms, plays a crucial role in our classes. This natural inclination means that when we hear a beat, our bodies want to match it. This synchronization enhances coordination, improves timing, and makes every movement more precise and effective. The benefits of rhythm and entrainment go beyond just movement. Music transforms a fitness class from a mere workout to a memorable experience. When the entire class moves together to the beat, it creates shared moments of joy and connection. This collective energy fosters a sense of community and belonging, making group fitness at FlowCorps a shared, uplifting experience.

Our rhythm-based approach enhances various fitness modalities: Functional fitness, Pilates, yoga, and cardio. Rhythm-based training promotes better movement patterns, making everyday activities more efficient and reducing the risk of injury. In Pilates and yoga, rhythm helps maintain a steady pace, ensuring poses are held for the right amount of time and transitions are smooth, enhancing the overall practice. For cardio workouts, rhythm keeps your heart rate up and ensures you stay in the optimal zone for cardiovascular benefits, making the workout feel less strenuous.

At FlowCorps, we believe that the right rhythm can turn any workout into a joyful experience. Our classes are designed to help you find your flow and make your fitness journey both effective and enjoyable. Whether you’re new to fitness or a seasoned athlete, our rhythm-based classes will keep you moving, motivated, and in tune with your body and mind. Come experience the unique blend of movement and music at FlowCorps. Find your rhythm, find your flow, and transform your workout experience today. Join us in class, move to the beat, and discover the joy that comes from finding your flow state.
