Mostly just for pulling exercises and to fill gaps from yoga asana and Jiu-Jitsu training to make us more well rounded athletes. Watch this video to hear why we quit the gym several years ago, how we still keep in shape, and learn why we feel stronger and healthier than we ever have before. In addition to bodyweight movement in yoga asana, Flo trains BJJ several times a week and when Bre isn’t pregnant, she plays roller derby and goes rockclimbing. We modify our bodyweight movement routines to constantly provide new input to our body to increase strength and resiliency.
-
We mostly teach vinyasa yoga but we're also certified in hatha yoga, yin yoga, restorative yoga, prenatal and postnatal yoga, myofascial release therapy, reflexology massage, functional range conditioning, and reiki energy healing. Flo is also a Structural Integration Therapist. You can learn more about our teaching history, certifications, and our Yoga Alliance profiles.

No, it's not our niche of teaching and it's best to find an instructor that's certified in teaching those age groups. You can search the Yoga Alliance database for registered children yoga teachers (RCYT) here. Regarding seniors, if you have a hard time finding teachers, then the Embark 7-day beginner program could be used but modifications will need to be made depending on their physicality (any movement is better than no movement so start with Embark until you can find a specialized teacher!)

Yoga can be incredibly healing but it can't fix everything. It's great that you're aware of sensations of pain and we wish we could give you specific advice but for one, we're not licensed medical doctors nor therapists so not only should we be leaving that to the professionals but secondly, it's nearly impossible to diagnose anything over an email/IG/FB. It's always recommended to go see a licensed physician if you feel pain (as you should never 'yoga' your way through pain). We recommend looking into physicians that are specialized in Functional Range Conditioning (Kinstretch) and Anatomy Trains Structural Integration (ATSI). In the meantime, we still advise that you continue to move your body in all directions but of course avoid any sensations of pain. Scope out this videos that can assist with common pain points: wrists, shoulders, back. Usually pain in the body is a result of either under use or overuse; the sooner you get it checked out and fixed, the sooner you can be back to using your body to it's full range of movement. If you've been in pain for a long time, don't give up hope, the body is meant to heal and it will always be moving in the direction of healing if you give it the right combination of movement, rest, mediums, and tools.

Here are a few suggestions we have on your journey to heal and recover from trauma:
-
When we speak of plant medicine, we're specifically referencing Ayahuasca which is an entheogenic brew made from the Banisteriopsis caapi vine and the Psychotria viridis leaf. It is used in traditional ceremonies among the indigenous tribes of Amazon and creates a long-lasting psychedelic experience - it's one of the most transformational medicines known to mankind. Ayahuasca encourages healing on all levels specifically including trauma, depression, and addiction but its effects are unique to each individual. It is common to experience powerful cleansing and healing from this medicine, in addition to receiving life changing lessons during ceremonies. This enables many to look deep within and release what causes your suffering. However, Ayahuasca is not a magic pill. The medicine shows, teaches, and gives tools to deal with imbalances in life, but committed spiritual and physical work beyond ceremony is necessary to maintain the benefits of the medicine.
We recommend working with an Authentic Healer Medicine Man / Shaman for ayahuasca/san pedro and never consuming it outside of a formal ceremony. This is mainly to honor and respect the Indiginous Peoples of South America who have kept the tradition of this healing medicine alive for thousands of years.
You can learn more about Ayahuasca from our Ayllu Medicine Family website FAQ, Third Wave, and this book "The Ayahuasca Test Pilots Handbook." If you've been called to explore Ayahuasca in a traditional, safe, loving, and supported environment that supports local Indiginous Amazonian tribes, then we can't recommend the Ayllu Retreats enough. They have a very thorough screening process ensuring that you're physically and mentally eligible to partake. We have worked with the Ayllu Medicina Family to offer Plant Medicine at our retreats in Ecuador and after experiencing the environment with their Medicine Man Aime and his wife Hwaneetah, we will most likely never try Ayahuasca from anyone else. We trust the Ayllu Team with our life and we wouldn't be referring them if we didn't truly believe in the healing power of these plants that have personally changed our lives on a level we never even knew we existed. If you feel the calling to explore Ayahuasca, then use our discount codes for any of their monthly retreats:
BREATHEANDFLOW for $111 off single occupancy
BREATHEANDFLOW2 for $222 off double occupancy
There are other forms of plant medicine that we also use such as San Pedro (only during ceremonies with our Shaman in Ecuador), Psylocibin Mushrooms, and Marijuana. Psyilocibin Mushrooms bring you into different levels of consciousness, have been known to heal depression, and encourage you to explore the space of infinite possibilities among other things.
Our very good friend and female business owner started Mycrologi; a secure, safe, and trusted website to purchase Psylocibin Mushrooms and other supplements / medicines. Head to the Mycrologi website and use our discount code BREATHEFLOW for 15% off! You can learn more about microdosing on this Third Wave page but you must also do additional research on your own. We recommend working with a licensed therapist for psylocibin mushrooms.
We aim to provide content that helps you feel safe, supported, and empowered as you follow your path towards personal transformation. With that said, we can’t offer medical advice and we don’t encourage illegal activities.

The main purpose of creating the Y4M videos is to create a safe and welcoming space for men to practice yoga by having an instructor that's also male. In the western world, yoga is a female dominated activity so these Y4M videos aren't meant to exclude other genders, they're meant to include men. We believe that yoga is for EVERY BODY and everyone should feel welcomed in the yoga community. Regardless of your gender, you can still practice the Y4M episodes! Keep in mind that they're not intended to be practiced as a daily program; for that, we recommend doing one of our 30-day calendars (see above) which will include some Y4M classes but also integrate other forms of practice and rest days to give you a more well rounded yoga practice. You can learn more about yoga for men in Flo’s free eBook found HERE.

1) What's the meaning of the patterns? In summary, the style we rock on most of our body is called sacred geometry and these are the sacred patterns of the universe and nature. These patterns will reveal themselves to those in stillness as these are the patterns of life seen everywhere at all times. All patterns and all placements came to us in deep meditations.
2) Who are the artists? Flo's sleeve: @oliver_kenton, Flo's leg: @onewhomakestiles, matching snowflake on foot: @onewhomakestiles, Flo's wolf: @marksingtoroj13, Bre's sleeve: @marksingtoroj13, bre's forearm: @juketattooist, bre and flo’s thigh: , bre and flo’s hands:
3) Can you send me a close up photo and/or design? No. Please contact our artists if you're interested in getting art done by them.
