My husband and I moved to Bellingham in 2009 to have and raise our magical child – I’m finding this is the most humbling and gratifying work I’ve ever done! I’ve been practicing Buddhist meditation with my Guru, Lama Gelek, since the late ‘90s and I’m also a nurse practitioner privileged to serve our awesome community!
How long have you been practicing at Flux Power Yoga? How did you know this was your place?
I’ve been practicing at Flux since May 2018. I first came because a friend said I should check it out. I stay for the meditation and community. The instructors weave a weekly slogan with humility, humor, self-love, and kindness into the practice so succinctly that each day of practice becomes a beautiful tapestry. It is a community in which one can be vulnerable, can peel off the layers, and be just who they are.
How has your practice evolved and /or what benefits have you gotten in your practice and in your life?
I’m not sure that I am best posed to say how or whether my practice has evolved but I can say that a commitment to daily methodical practice has opened up an opportunity to be present and to not do, to ride the wave of discomforts in life and not react, to understand there is no one to blame for adversity.
Favorite pose and why?
Favorite pose? Chair. It’s actually what came to mind as my least favorite when asked this question AND it’s the one I learn the most about myself in. My Guru says, “In order to grow we must move towards our fears and away from our attachments.” I smile at myself in chair because every time I get into this pose, I want to flop on the floor and give up AND I choose to stay.
Any advice for new yogis?
Return. Come back again, and again, and again…come just as you are, let go of expectation, and just be here for this moment. I can’t wait to practice with you in class!
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!
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. ♥️🧘♀️
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!
