Flow Hood River: Yoga Move Connect

Flow Hood River: Yoga Move Connect A sacred welcoming studio located in Hood River and offering livestream classes to friends near and far. Yoga is not really about the poses at all.

FLOW shares an inspiring, safe, & empowering approach to yoga & fitness. Flow is a community co-created to support each other’s unfolding in each moment to our true nature. Stephanie often says, “The teacher and the taught together create the teaching.” Yoga teaches us that we do not come together merely to heal the body or to watch each other do fancy poses. Your entire being and the energy we share together creates the yogic experience. Our classes are not about how many cool poses an instructor can do…they are about the connection to something more than that…to seeing and experiencing reality as it is. Once we all “get” that in our entire being, the poses just flow inspired from our bodies, breath, minds and hearts exactly as they are meant to in that moment. When we experience true Yoga it can be amazingly pure, deep, joyful and sometimes even exquisitely heart breaking.

From a small village in Japan to the Columbia Gorge, Gail Lordi (E-RYT 500, LMT, YACEP, SAYF Certified) has spent decades exploring how energy, breath, and stillness shape the body’s natural intelligence.

Her studies in Shiatsu, Yin Yoga, and mindful movement create a teaching style that feels like medicine—anchored in patience, compassion, and deep awareness.

Gail teaches 4 classes/week at Flow Studio and offers a First Sunday Restorative Sound Bath, as well.

Experience her guidance in our upcoming Yin Yoga Workshop & Teacher Training and discover how slowing down transforms everything.

What do you think of when you hear a yoga teacher say they teach “real” yoga? What makes yoga “real”?

After more than 30 years of practice in the west (and five journeys to India studying with two Master teachers), I’ve seen yoga expressed in countless forms—some more physical, some more meditative.

So, what makes yoga real?

Simply this: Any practice that arises from yoga’s tradition that integrates presence and awareness as a path to self-realization is yoga. Whether through asana, vinyasa or kriya, breathwork, pratyahara, meditation, mantra, or drishti, yoga begins the moment we awaken awareness.

Patanjali defines yoga clearly:

Yoga Sutra 1.2: Yoga is the ceasing of the modifications of the mind. When the stories and identities of the mind and emotions settle, we experience our true nature.

And as Sutra 1.1 reminds us: Yoga is presence.

If your practice honors that—if it cultivates awareness, presence, and union/connection—then you are both practicing and honoring yoga.

Here's What People Are Saying About Our RRR Weekends:

“The most relaxing weekend you’ll ever have — and it just might change your life.”

“A deeply restorative alternative to traditional meditation retreats — with Yoga Nidra, sound healing, and the natural sanctuary of Breitenbush. Experience the benefits of meditation and beyond — without the joint pain of long sitting sessions.”

“Where rest, sound, and nature reconnect you to your truest self. Five practices. Infinite peace.”

“Deep rest. Real healing. Renewed clarity.”

“Relaxation is not escape; it’s remembrance of who you truly are.”

“Yoga Nidra: Experience the still point where rest becomes revelation.”

Radical Restoration Retreat (RRR) ~
Restorative Yoga, Yoga Nidra, & Sound Healing Weekend:�

Experience blissful relaxation as a radical path to self-realization, supported by an empowered intention-setting process from the tradition of yoga. Retreat into deeply embodied peace and contentment as we explore mindfulness, purpose, intention (sankalpa), and grace through the restorative practices of Yoga Nidra, Restorative & Gentle Yoga, and Sound Healing.��

Even for those who have struggled with meditation in the past, these practices resonate deeply. Yoga Nidra guides the body and mind into an optimal brain-wave state—opening and healing the mind-heart-body connection so that we may realize our truest selves with greater wholeness and ease.

When you “Trust Her,” you’re reclaiming the sacredness of your inner voice and honoring the divine feminine energies that shape your intuition, emotion, and purpose. It’s a journey of self-trust, integration, and empowerment—acknowledging that every phase, every emotion, every inner goddess has a place and a message. To trust her is to trust yourself fully.

To “Trust Her” is to stop apologizing for your inner power. It’s to listen when your inner goddess whispers (or roars), and to know that your spirit is sacred, cyclical, and connected to the cosmos itself.

To “Trust Her” in this deeper sense is to trust the parts of yourself that may have been silenced, doubted, or shamed—the wild woman, the healer, the mother, the warrior, the sensual being, the wise crone. Trusting her means allowing those inner aspects to speak, lead, and guide you without fear or suppression.

We want to let you know about a special opportunity to sit with an extraordinary master teacher. Swamiji last visited in 2023 to speak at the World Parliament of Religions and we are incredibly fortunate to welcome him to Flow Studio again. There is limited space and we would love to share this special occasion with you.

Satsang with Swami Omkarananda
TOMORROW
Sunday February 23rd from 11- 3 pm

During our time together, you will learn about the meaning of life, and how love has the power to heal ourselves and the world. You will also have the opportunity to ask Swamiji questions that can help guide YOUR life. We will meditate and chant together, as well.

Swami Omkarananda grew up with the great lady saint of India, Ma Anandamayi. He studied and lived with six enlightened Masters: Swami Dayananda Saraswati, Swami Veda Bharati, Swami Chidananda Saraswati, Dalai Lama, Lung Chu, Thich Nhat Hanh, and the Master of Masters Kalyan Babaji of Himalayas. Swamiji has profound knowledge in Vedanta, Sanskrit, holistic lifestyle, and yoga, as well as multifaceted experience in the field of metaphysics, parapsychology, and mind-matter interaction like psychokinesis and psychic healing. Swamiji also studied and practiced the deep secrets of Pranic Nourishment width the great Pranic master Elitom-El-Amin.

Flow also is about moving together in creative ways including dance, fitness, aerial silks, barre and functional strength-focused Circuit classes. Yoga can be experienced whatever we are doing. We are not dogmatic about our approach but we do honor presence and clarity. YOU are already enough. Come as you are. We will meet you there.
