Nice little spot for lunch time yoga. Classes can get pretty crammed as the space is small. Also, different teachers have completely different styles, even if you are doing the same class. Chill Flow with one teacher is WAY more tough than Chill Flow with another. Same with L. S. D (Long, Slow, Deep). Aside from that inconsistency, I'm happy to still pop in once or twice a week.

Flowlab is a great yoga shala with excellent teachers in a central location and sessions throughout the day and the week.
Attending regularly via a combination of in-class and online sessions I can attest to the quality of the classes and the benefits gained from regular practice. Each of the teachers bring their own unique insights and approach to the vinyasa flow yoga practice with adjustments to poses to allow for various levels of experience.
Try a class for yourself, I don't think you will be disappointed.

THE best studio in Sydney after discovering a few via class pass. The teachers are inclusive of everyone in the class at every level. Going to flow lab classes is a highlight of my week.

Great teachers and feels peaceful once you get into the class. There is good variety of class types and great timetable for those who need some me time at lunch. Rooms are quite small and can be a bit squishy at times.

I have tried flow and 101 yoga classes.yoga 101 was very good to start with. Instructor was taking it slow and helping to get the postures right and giving demo before trying. Flow was an amazing workout and really challenging. Place is good but it is right at the signal, which is bit noisy.

Friendly, experienced and committed teachers bring a wealth of knowledge and catering for beginners to the advanced. Workshops provide opportunities to focus and advance your practice. Classes are punctual and run before, during or after work so I always get to weekly classes. Highly recommended for anyone looking for yoga in the CBD.

Recently did a three class trial. Not many pure yoga studios in the CBD. The studio has a good vibe. Instructors are great! Would like to see a few less mats though as it can get a bit squishy.

Flow classes are well taught and teachers really help you try to advance your practice. I'm reasonably experienced and find myself challenged often with proper guidance on how to progress. I've had nothing but good instructors so far.

It is a cramped space, but this is par for the course in Sydney - Power Living and Be One are the same so no issue there.

Would love some proper facilities to shower and change. It's pretty awkward changing with the 'curtains' which don't even close properly, and having to bring your clothing into the studio so you don't intrude on someone elses changing space.

The studio is so warm that you end up super sweaty but having to change back into work clothes to head to the office makes this a no go for lunchtime sessions. Would be up for paying extra for facilities so I could go at lunch.

The space is also very noisy - in summer windows are left open to get more air in rather than the use of AC, resulting in even more noise in evening sessions from all the commuters below. It can be quite distracting and does interfere with my practice. Building looks to be double brick, so some investment in newer windows and AC could solve this issue.

It has a lot of potential to be really great and the location is fantastic. It is a step above the usual cookie cutter chains such as Yoga Bar & The Space.

Been to a few of Norma’s classes and she is brilliant. No two of the classes are the same and it feels like you get a good workout in a short space of time!

Excellent classes and instructors. I went from someone who didn't enjoy yoga to having to go for my sanity! Can't recommend Flow Lab enough.

The instructors at this studio are brilliant- very welcoming and encouraging. I've been attending classes all year and find I'm continually challenged (in a good way!). A great studio.

Just because you can cram 17 people into a room - doesn't mean you should!

The rooms are well ventilated but the sessions are hit and miss, depending on the experience and delivery of the teacher. Some teachers both instruct and practice the movements, whilst others walk around giving vague descriptions of poses they want you to adopt.

Limiting the class numbers would allow students to fully stretch out and position themselves correctly.

Great teachers, all with heir own unique flair to their class. Classes are designed for everyone, modifications to difficult poses given etc. I always leave flow lab on time, and feeling amazing! Thanks

Couldn't be more let down by the hostile and passive aggressive treatment our class got from the instructor. At one point she openly laughed and said "I don't know what anyone is doing but it's not right". Honestly left feeling more stressed than if I had stayed at the office.

Completely hostile environment, instructor Vicky was very passive aggressive and rude if your poses weren't perfect. Nothing like any yoga class I've experienced and the worst way to spend my lunch break.

I am super awkward when doing yoga and the instructor - Vicky, did not help this in the slightest. She was rude, hostile, negative and aggressive. Everything a yoga experience should NOT be. I have been turned off yoga until further notice.

Awesome yoga studio, especially for beginner yogis. The teachers are very experienced and friendly - in particular Thana and Amelia. All the teachers are very patient and attentive to different needs. I love the small sizes of the classes as there is a lot more time for one-on-one teaching. Great location right in the CBD. Would highly recommend!

I’ve been to a lot of great vinyasa/flow classes and unfortunately, this was not one of them. Our teacher was patronising and hostile in her teaching style and was VERY mad that our group (of varying skill levels) had booked flow instead of a beginners class despite the entire class (not just us) being beginners. The teacher continuously made very discouraging comments which weren’t necessary. Another participant who wasn’t with us actually left the class halfway through which was understandable as it was not at all a relaxing or supportive environment. I’m horrified I invited my colleagues along with me for this!
Mats were also too close together for flow.

Chai is a brilliant instructor:) he’s very patient and kind, and he has so much passion in whatever he’s doing.:)

Really not a great experience here - tiny tiny room with people packed in like sardines (literally no room to twist on the mat without being on your neighbours), really loud traffic noise coming in the window, very hot, tiny informal changing space, and an average teacher with a haughty attitude (even telling my friend "well that's not even a yoga pose"). Decided it wasn't even worth using my remaining classes based on that experience.
