Weird Flex Yoga

Unconventional Approaches to Yoga There are lots of ways to stretch and breathe in a yoga practice. We hope you'll find a home here with us! We're here to help!

At Weird Flex, we're just celebrating some of the less common or less traditional ways. Here, you'll find classes like:

-Adaptive Yoga (adapting the poses, breath and movement to all bodies and abilities)
-Beginner-Focused Practice (slow-paced, full of explanations, modifications, open dialogue and absolutely zero judgement)
-Grounding and Empowerment Yoga (with a focus on calming the nerves and resetting stress responses)
-Alpaca and Metal (music) goat yoga
-Metal Yoga (lighthearted yoga with a metal theme and music)
-Yo-Goth (yoga with a goth theme and music)
-Restorative True Crime Podcast Yoga
-Spooky themed classes (all year long)

-All the themed classes, honestly
..and more! All classes can be signed up for online, through the link in an event info. If you have questions about ANY of the classes, please ask, any time! No refunds are offered on classes, but your spot can be transferred to a friend, for the same class.

If you can find your zen during Ghostface Yoga, you can find it anywhere. 🖤

Channeling survivor energy, finding our calm, searching under the bed, reaching up for the knife, taking on the garage door salutation, a warrior flow battle sequence, and so much more. All to a moody, soundtrack-themed playlist.

We all made it to the end. Even though we ran up the stairs when Ghostface chased us 🤣

So grateful for this gang and the fun we have together. So glad we all made it through to the other side of class! I knew we would!

Next up is water yoga on Monday. No swimming required. Low-key, gentle yoga and stretches in a heated swimming pool. Still have space left for ya. Come thaw out and stretch with us!

Thanks to Jill and Candice for the awesome photos, and to Moriah for the stellar Ghostface decoration for the fireplace!

I’m so in love with this-this photo, this family. I love this group of yogis. I love the comfort we have with and for each other, our willingness to try new things, and our willingness to be there for ourselves and each other.

Yin is one of the most challenging types of yoga for me mentally, so I decided to start teaching it. I’ve never been more grateful for a practice that helps ground me and push me as I have with yin, and with this lovable group of weirdos.

Massive amounts of appreciation for every single person in this photo. Massive.

Class signups are now LIVE for March and April!

Hop on over to app.ubindi.com/Michelle.Waters to claim your spot(s). Some classes are almost half full, already!

Every time you commit to self-care in our yoga and movement classes, no matter how small, your body is reminded it’s safe to grow, relax, strengthen, and give some grace. We’d love to help you remember. 🖤

Now that all of the upcoming classes have been added to the calendar, I can rest in the glow of how fantastic this weekend’s classes were! So thankful to Moriah and Rachel for the awesome photo memories!

If you’re new here, welcome, by the way! About 6 days a year, I flood the Weird Flex walls with the updated classes/events. I do it this way to avoid spamming you the other 359-ish days of the year.

This past weekend, we got gothy for My Bloody Valentine yoga, stretching to candlelight and making cool black heart boxes to store our memories in. We talked a bit about shadow work and did some heart opening exercises, and left with a cool gothy valentine creation, and a more open and energized upper body.

We also had part two from our Tarot series, which was the most intense part of the series. For the folks who were able to make it, you’ve gotten through the hardest part! It was a lot of info, but it applied to allll of the suits, to a certain degree. Next month, the final part in the series, ties it all together and brings the lessons full circle. Can’t wait to really showcase what we all learned for the final part!

As you’ve seen, the March and April classes have just been officially added to the calendar. Signups will go live to the public, tomorrow (Wednesday) at noon! If you’re on our email list, you’ll get first dibs, as always.

Hope to see y’all again, soon! We have SO MUCH coming up, to enjoy, together!

PS-We still have two more classes left this month, and have a few spots left in each one: Yin yoga with readings from Rumi, and Ghostface yoga to celebrate the new Scream release!

Can’t wait to see ya!

Absolutely obsessed with the level of whimsy and fun our family brings to a class.

From fully engaging in a candlelit Vampire Ballet themed class on Superb Owl Sunday (complete with superb owls and cone hats for balance practice), to hanging out in our favorite bookstore for a restorative book club class, while the store kitties casually walked around and kept us company, our Weird Flex Family embraces the Weird, wholeheartedly.

Self-care through yoga can go beyond what you might expect in a yoga class. We incorporate fun, play, and all kinds of different themes to help keep us engaged and enjoying taking care of ourselves.

We have a few classes left for February.

Come join us for My Bloody Valentine Yoga-Friday the 13th! (goth-themed yoga with a heart shaped box craft after class) on Friday.

On Sunday, we’re set up for part 2 of our Tarot with yoga series! This time we start to dive into the minor arcana. Embodying Tarot with Yoga (part 2)

The following Sunday, join us for yin (slower pace, longer held poses) with the writings of Rumi. Rumi Yoga

And the following Thursday (2/26), we’ll be celebrating Ghostface and the release of the latest Scream movie. Ghostface Yoga

We’d love to have you join us!

It felt SO GOOD to get back out over the weekend, and stretch with y’all, AND the Mineral Wells Vet Clinic kitties. 😻

I think the cats are starting to remember some of us, and make themselves cozy around us. Either that, or they appreciated our class flow that was made to resemble the peaceful and playful poses cats have in real life. Or maybe it was a bit of both.

Either way, I, for one, left class with a longer feeling spine, and a sense of playful happiness coursing through my veins.

Shall we do cat yoga again, soon? 🐈 🐈‍⬛

In the meantime, come join us for our upcoming classes! This coming weekend, we have a Vampire Ballet ( Barre) with the “Superb Owl” class at the barre (gentle yoga practice with a barre and wall support, in candlelight). Spaces are almost full for this one!

Then on Monday, bring a book of choice for Silent (Adult) Book Club Yoga restorative yoga at First Chapter Bookstore. Always a great time to purposefully rest while catching up on some reading.

The following weekend, we’re decorating heart-shaped trinket boxes for ourselves, after a fully gothed out, gentle yoga class on Friday My Bloody Valentine Yoga-Friday the 13th!, and wrapping up Valentine’s weekend with a SOLD OUT class on Embodying Tarot with Yoga (part 2). If you attended the first tarot class and didn’t get a spot for this one, yet, please let me know. I’m giddy over how well it’s been received!

See y’all again, soon 🖤✨

And thank you so much for the awesome photos and videos, Rachel, Nicole and Miranda, and to Mineral Wells Vet Clinic (and the clinic kitties) for being our host. Y’all are the MVPs, for real.

How to create your own yoga flows at home?

It’s not top secret. Many, if not most yoga classes follow a “shape”. We build up to a peak pose or challenge, and then wind down to rest.

Read the slides for a more in-depth idea of what that can mean!

**And most importantly, only do what is safe for your body. Clear new movement with your doc. These are all just suggestions.

********************************************

You can build a flow around a peak pose or challenge by thinking about anatomy:

-Getting into or imagining the pose you want to use as your peak challenge

-Thinking of what movement, flexibility, and invitations for strength will help you

-Starting by stretching and focusing on your own body and breath

-Getting a whole body stretch, and getting the circulation flowing

-Building from stretching to strengthening

-Achieving your peak pose or challenge

-Countering the “peak action”

-Winding down

-Coming back to grounding to allow integration

-Join us in class anytime, to see for yourself!

Seems as though we might get snowed in over the weekend.

Does anyone wanna ask me a weird yoga question? Or a not-so-weird yoga question?

What’s something you wish you knew about yoga stuff?

What’s something you wish you’d known when you got started?

Is there a pose (or two) you’d like to break down and modify?

I’ll answer a question (or two) on here, this weekend, while I’m all holed up. 🖤✨

Comment below, or send me a message.

Sunday’s Tarot Yoga class absolutely lit me on fire, y’all.

I know I say this often, but I really poured my heart and soul into this lesson, and I’m so proud of all of you who took the flow to heart. The class was packed with students AND info!

It was a longer class, full of notes on “The Fool’s Journey”, and how it can be applied to body movement. I know it really helped me to internalize some of the themes for each card in the Major Arcana, by “Yoga-ing” them out with you all!

In February, our next tarot class will focus on two of the suits: Pentacles and Swords (or the Earth & Air elements).

In the meantime, we have Core yoga, Cat yoga, Chair yoga, Vampire Ballet yoga, Adult Book Club yoga, and My Bloody Valentine yoga to keep you company. Hope to see ya again soon, wherever that may be!

Thanks to Moriah and Sandy for the awesome photos!

That’s right! If you wanna do Otter Yoga with the Weird Flex Family (taught by Trish of Meta Soul), join us on Saturday, 3/21!

2026 has gotten off to a GREAT start, and we’re just gettin’ goin’!

This past weekend, the Weird Flex Family took over Panera for an evening of Stitch & Bitch. We got crafty and got to enjoy each others’ company in a cozy little nook.

On Saturday, we did our first chair yoga class of the year. We introduced the ideas we practiced in the detox class, with chair support! I love to show how ANY class flow or pose can be adapted to a chair practice. Makes my heart sing.

Also, I had my first scheduling conflict that day, and my students brought all of my props to class for me, so I could arrive closer to class time. They are the BEST family I could ever ask for, and I can’t imagine doing this crazy life without them.

We also checked out and really enjoyed the return of Pride Yoga at The Wellness Loft on Sunday. Cassie did a great job helping everyone feel welcome and valued in class, and I definitely got some inspiration for my own classes and personal practice. Looking forward to going back!

Monday gave us a gentle, restorative class to Alfred Hitchcock stories, at one of our very favorite haunts, The Anchorage (with Hidden Marietta Tour Co.). Always adore the vibe there, and we got to appreciate the updated staircase they’ve been putting their heart and soul into renovating. We love supporting The Anchorage! Might even do a sleepover there this summer ✨

Gang, we have SO MANY fun things coming up. We’d love to see you (again) soon!

This coming Friday, our first Metal Yoga class in months. Stretching to a sweet metal playlist is my heart. Still have some space available for this class at app.ubindi.com/Michelle.Waters

Sunday’s Tarot class is completely FULL. I’ve been planning this one for months, so I’m super excited to share it with y’all. It’s already been helping me retain the meanings behind the cards much better! It’s gonna rule.

So many good things. Come be a part of our Family!

And thank you to Candice & Dale for the great photos, and to everyone for showing up for yourselves!
