What are your operating hours?
Zenith Flow is open seven days a week to accommodate various schedules. Our typical operating hours are Monday through Friday from 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM, and Saturday and Sunday from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM.

We also occasionally host special workshops or events outside of these hours, which will be announced on our website and social media channels. Our goal is to provide flexible options so you can integrate yoga into your daily life.
Do I need to book classes in advance?
While it's not always mandatory, we highly recommend booking your classes in advance, especially for popular classes or during peak hours. This helps us manage class sizes, ensure a comfortable experience for everyone, and guarantee your spot. You can easily book classes through our website or our dedicated mobile app. Online booking also allows you to view the class schedule, read instructor bios, and manage your reservations with ease. Walk-ins are welcome if space permits, but pre-booking is the best way to secure your spot and avoid disappointment, particularly for specialized workshops or limited-capacity sessions.
What should I bring to class?
For your yoga class at Zenith Flow, we recommend bringing a comfortable yoga mat, a water bottle to stay hydrated, and a small towel if you tend to perspire. We do have mats available for rent and water for purchase if you forget yours. Wear comfortable, breathable clothing that allows for a full range of motion. It's also a good idea to arrive a few minutes early to settle in and prepare for your practice. Some students also like to bring a small blanket or cushion for relaxation during Savasana. We encourage you to listen to your body and bring anything that enhances your comfort and practice.
Classes and Levels
What yoga styles do you offer?
Zenith Flow offers a diverse array of yoga styles to cater to different preferences and experience levels. Our offerings include Vinyasa Flow, known for its dynamic and flowing sequences; Hatha Yoga, focusing on foundational poses and alignment; Restorative Yoga, emphasizing deep relaxation and passive stretching; Yin Yoga, targeting connective tissues through long-held poses; and Power Yoga, for a more vigorous and challenging practice. We also periodically introduce specialty workshops such as AcroYoga or Aerial Yoga. Each style provides unique benefits, and our schedule is designed to allow you to explore various practices to find what resonates best with you and your personal goals.
I'm new to yoga. Which class should I start with?
If you're new to yoga, we highly recommend starting with our 'Beginner's Hatha' or 'Gentle Flow' classes. These sessions are specifically designed to introduce fundamental yoga postures, proper alignment principles, and basic breathwork in a supportive and unhurried environment. Our instructors provide clear instructions and modifications, ensuring that you feel comfortable and confident. These classes lay a strong foundation for your yoga journey, allowing you to gradually build strength, flexibility, and body awareness. Feel free to arrive a little early to speak with the instructor and let them know you're new; they'll be happy to offer personalized guidance.
What is the difference between Vinyasa and Hatha yoga?
The primary difference between Vinyasa and Hatha yoga lies in their pacing and focus. Hatha yoga typically involves holding individual poses for longer durations, with a focus on proper alignment and building strength and flexibility in static postures. It's often a slower-paced class, allowing for deeper exploration of each pose. Vinyasa yoga, on the other hand, is characterized by its dynamic, flowing sequences where movements are synchronized with the breath. It's more active and can be more physically demanding, creating a continuous flow from one pose to the next. Both styles offer immense benefits, and your preference may depend on whether you seek a meditative, alignment-focused practice or a more energetic, fluid experience.
Are your classes suitable for all fitness levels?
Yes, absolutely! Zenith Flow prides itself on offering classes suitable for all fitness levels and body types. Our instructors are highly skilled at providing modifications and variations for each pose, ensuring that both beginners and advanced practitioners can participate safely and effectively. Whether you're looking for a gentle stretch or a challenging workout, you'll find a class that meets your needs. We encourage students to listen to their bodies and practice within their own limits. Our supportive environment fosters a non-judgmental space where everyone can explore their practice at their own pace and comfort level, making yoga accessible to all.
Do you offer private yoga sessions?
Yes, Zenith Flow offers personalized private yoga sessions for individuals or small groups. Private sessions are an excellent option if you're new to yoga and want a tailored introduction, if you have specific goals such as injury recovery or advanced pose mastery, or if you simply prefer a more intimate and focused learning environment. During a private session, the instructor can customize the practice to your unique needs, pace, and preferences, providing immediate feedback and detailed alignment cues. Please contact our front desk or visit our website to inquire about availability, pricing, and to schedule your private session. It's a wonderful way to deepen your practice.
Membership and Pricing
What membership options do you have?
Zenith Flow offers a variety of membership options designed to fit different lifestyles and commitments. We have flexible drop-in rates for single classes, multi-class packages (e.g., 5-class or 10-class packs) for those who practice occasionally, and unlimited monthly memberships for dedicated practitioners who wish to attend regularly. We also have special introductory offers for new students and discounted rates for students, seniors, and military personnel. All our membership details, including pricing and terms, are available on the 'Pricing' page of our website. We aim to provide affordable and accessible options so everyone can enjoy the benefits of consistent yoga practice.
Can I try a class before committing to a membership?
Absolutely! We encourage new students to experience Zenith Flow firsthand before committing to a membership. We offer a special introductory offer, which typically includes a discounted rate for your first few classes or an unlimited week pass, allowing you to try various styles and instructors. This is a fantastic way to immerse yourself in our community and determine if Zenith Flow is the right fit for your yoga journey. You can find details about our current introductory offers on our website's 'New Students' or 'Pricing' page. We're confident you'll love the atmosphere and the quality of our instruction.
What is your cancellation policy for classes?
Our cancellation policy is designed to be fair to both our students and our instructors. For regular scheduled classes, we kindly request that you cancel your booking at least 2 hours prior to the class start time. This allows sufficient time for other students on the waitlist to join. If you cancel within the 2-hour window or do not show up for a booked class, the class will be deducted from your package or a drop-in fee will be charged. For workshops and special events, a different cancellation policy may apply, which will be clearly stated at the time of booking. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us manage class capacities effectively.
Do you offer gift certificates?
Yes, Zenith Flow offers gift certificates, making them the perfect present for friends, family, or loved ones who are interested in starting or deepening their yoga practice. You can purchase gift certificates for specific class packages, membership durations, or for a custom monetary value. They can be redeemed for any of our classes, workshops, or even private sessions. Gift certificates are available for purchase directly at our studio front desk or conveniently online through our website. Giving the gift of yoga is a wonderful way to share wellness, relaxation, and mindfulness with someone special, encouraging them on their path to well-being.
Is there a minimum age requirement to attend classes?
For most of our adult yoga classes, the minimum age requirement is 16 years old. Participants under the age of 18 must have a parent or guardian sign a waiver form. We do occasionally offer specialized youth or family yoga classes designed for younger participants, which will have their specific age guidelines listed. These classes focus on age-appropriate poses and themes, making yoga fun and accessible for children and teenagers. If you have specific questions about bringing a younger student to an adult class, please contact us directly, and we'll be happy to advise based on the class style and the individual's maturity level.
