Our philosophy

A studio that feels like exhaling.

We opened Lotus Flow in 2016 in a restored 1920s bakery on SE Hawthorne. The ovens are gone, but the warmth stayed.

Our classes are deliberately small and never rushed. Whether you've practiced for twenty years or you're unrolling your very first mat, you'll be seen, gently guided, and offered options – never pushed.

Every body welcome

Props for all, hands-on assists only with consent, and modifications in every class.

Rooted teachers

Our team holds 500+ hour certifications and trains together every month.

Slow mornings, warm tea

Stay after class in our tea nook – loose-leaf, local honey, and good conversation.
