Detour Flow

Detour Flow

Detour Flow classes take what you already know and love about vinyasa flow and combine that approach with a focus on joint prep, strength and mobility to ensure that your body enters every pose and transition with ease and confidence. In a Flow class, you’ll see our signature “Isolate, Activate, Integrate” methodology in action, where smaller, more specific actions build toward larger more complex movements in a way that is logical and accessible but also fun and inspiring.
