What a welcoming studio! I travel for work and have been to many studios across the country and this one tops them all. The instructors learned my name the first time I went and class was hot but not too hot (perfect middle ground between working up a sweat but not passing out). I came here on a 2 week intro package and was skeptical it would live up to its 5 star rating, but it deserves them all. Thank you Flux!
Flux is a super cozy and fun studio with warm, passionate instructors teaching in a range of styles. I deeply appreciate how Flux offers accessible options to the community like their free Saturday class, BIPOC scholarship, and work-trade. I feel valued and cared for at this studio, and able to advance my practice. Also, the natural light and sunset views are exceptional, I highly recommend going to a class around that time!
Top rate yoga studio in bham. Clean, caring, friendly, non-judgemental space with skilled, compassionate teachers. 10/10 recommend.
Flux is incredible! Melissa and her team helped rekindle and reshape yoga in my life. I was defiantly non-hot yoga before this, but there are some really good options with Flux (though still warm). The studio is beautiful in so many ways and couldn’t be happier. I have tried most of the instructors and there is some good variety and something for everyone here. Thank you so much Team Flux!
Flux Power Yoga is First Rate. They offer an exceptional variety of classes coupled with dedicated and knowledgeable instructors with welcoming and helpful attitudes in an always clean studio setting. It doesn’t get much better!
I am so grateful to have found this fabulous hot yoga studio in downtown Fairhaven! I've taken several classes so far and enjoyed them all. Love, love, love the cold lavender forehead towel at the conclusion of class ♥️
And others agree. They just won The Best of the Northwest!

FLUX yoga is my body/soul haven after I became a member for two months now. All the instructors are as Warm and friendly as the temperature inside of the studio. I go there almost everyday to begin my day with positive energy.
I've been going here for years and absolutely love the atmosphere and teachers. There are classes for everyone and the times work well with my schedule. They also offer great retreats and special events throughout the year. Love it. ♥️🧘♀️
I absolutely LOVED the Power Yoga class today! Kate LaSpina was a fantastic teacher with a soothing voice. Will definitely be going back!!
Flux has been my safe haven over the last two years. I have had to honor to learn from the kindest most supportive teachers. I feel nothing but safety and love while moving through my flow in class. Thank you Mellisa and Cassidy for creating such a lovely nurturing space for our community!!
I have been taking Yoga classes at Flux for over 3 years and am absolutely hooked! I love all the instructors, everyone offers a different flow and there are several styles to choose from! Power Yoga, Slow Flow but also Yin! I am very active and need to practice Yoga at least twice a week to keep my muscles strong and flexible! Flux Power Yoga is a gem! I am very happy I have found this place!
Best yoga community of all time. I have been a student at Flux for quite some time. The space is absolutely beautiful which adds so much to my practice. The instructors are knowledgeable and creative! The culture is supportive and relaxed- I love that the instructors hold space for each student to come as they are. I cannot recommend this studio enough!

What kinds of amenities will there be?
A luxury retreat center on the shores of Lake Atitlán, Guatemala
Located just outside the Mayan indigenous village of San Marcos la Laguna on the shores of one of the most beautiful lakes in the world, Lake Atitlan, Casa Paloma has been lovingly developed over more than twenty years as a retreat center and gathering place where workshop leaders, teachers, friends and family reunion groups can come together to spend time, share wonderful meals, explore the Mayan world and the natural beauty of the area, practice yoga, swim, kayak, hike or simply relax.
It is unlike any other property you have ever been to, or even seen online. The spaces themselves have unique details, infused with Guatemalan art and design. The surrounding gardens are filled with a wide variety of plants, butterflies, and hummingbirds.
On top of all this, there is the most breathtaking view of Lake Atitlan and the surrounding volcanoes and villages. Wow. It looks and feels like a dream, and will be one of the most memorable visits of your lifetime. The village of San Marcos—a ten minute walk from the property—offers a wide range of healing opportunities as well as lively restaurants and cafes and purveyors of local crafts and a small nature preserve. But you don’t have to leave the property to experience nature: one recent guest to Casa Paloma counted thirty distinct species of birds, all observed (and heard) from the Casa Paloma gardens in the early morning hours.
What’s the weather like in February?
February is a great month to visit Guatemala. Temp will be 82 high and 51 during the evenings. Days are predominantly warm and sunny, but it’s not as challenging to find hotel accommodation compared to during the busier periods of January and Easter. It is a wonderful time to explore Guatemala’s beautiful villages, markets, lake scenery and dramatic Maya ruins.
Can you accommodate my dietary restrictions?
Yes! We have hired a private chef to cook for our group all week and we they will be able to fulfill your requests as much as possible. If you have a anaphylactic serious allergy to anything at all please let us know ahead of time so we can make sure we can accommodate your needs.
