Intention :: TO FLOW

To embrace the flow allowing for grace and connection.
To live life with joy, strength, freedom and without inhibition.
To share this liberation with the world as I dance with life and live with love

Live Love Flow (LLF) is Seattle’s First Indoor Cycling Yoga fusion Studio and Mountain Flow Yoga (MFY) is an awesome little one-room boutique studio in the heart of Madrona. At MFY :: LLF, we understand that while Yoga is a complete and perfect science for the mind, we sometimes need and want a little bit more for the body. While Yoga is our heart and soul and the mainstay of our schedule, we’ve created 3 fusion classes that increase strength and stability supporting a safer and better Yoga asana practice! The fluidity, increased range of motion, mindfulness and presence emphasized in flow Yoga permeate every class we teach, Yoga is the common thread and every class is taught with flow.

Live Love Flow is a brand new, state of the art Yoga studio with 3000 square feet of studio, retail and reception space. LLF houses two studios beautiful studios: our cycling studio offers 30 brand new Keiser spinning bikes and our Yoga studio is heated to 85-90. Both studios enjoy tall ceilings and abundant daylight with floor to ceiling windows. At Live Love Flow, we offer Pure Flow Vinyasa Yoga, Pure Cycling classes and Cycle :: Flow Fusion classes.

Mountain Flow Yoga is our original studio. Mountain Flow Yoga is a little one room boutique studio in the heart of Madrona that has been providing Seattle with exceptional FLOW yoga since 2008. At Mountain Flow Yoga we offer Pure Flow Vinyasa Yoga, Flow :: X-Boot fusion classes (fusing flow yoga with x-fit and boot camp style of conditioning) as well as Flow :: Sculpt (fusing Yoga with ballet barre and sculpting conditioning). For more information on classes, please see descriptions.

Yoga is our core and at MFY :: LLF we create fluid, athletic and dynamic classes. Our teachers insight the liberation, athleticism and challenge inherent in a dynamic and intuitive flow yoga. MFY :: LLF teachers teach with the desire to insight freedom, power, uninhibitedness, and breath/body awareness. While the athletic and demanding flow classes are sure to generate a good sweat, a playful and dancelike quality inspires freedom. MFY teachers are most interested watching our students let go and inhabit the flow rather than strive for an end goal. Worrying about perfecting a pose or striving to advance trap us in our competitive, ego-based thinking, we want our students to let go of all of that and to experience themselves: “to know one’s self is to know God.”* We ask our students to play, sweat, surrender, allow, work, accept and dance with life.

MFY has been the recipient of recognition in Daily Candy, Seattle Metropolitan Magazine as one of Seattle’s Top Yoga studios (December 2010), and in Seattle Weekly for offering the best out-door Yoga classes. MFY has also received several mentions in Seattle Magazine as a neighborhood hot-spot for Madrona. Studio owner Jaime Scates Schmitz has received local and national attention as a leading teacher of Vinyasa/Fluid Power Yoga as ambassadors for MeSheeky, Lululemon (alumna) and Manduka. She has enjoyed teaching classes and workshops around the West.
