About FLOW
………….
Hi! I’m Kelsey Taylor. I created FLOW because so many of the clients in my classes have been expressing their frustrations, their confusion and their sadness about changes in their bodies, and this mirrored what I myself am feeling at perimenopause and also see in my two daughters.
Our hormones control everything. They affect our sleep, our stress levels, our moods, our muscles and joints, our ability to focus and concentrate.
We’re not the same person throughout our life and we’re not even the same person throughout a menstrual cycle. So our yoga practice should reflect this.
I wanted to create a network of trained, empathetic, wise and kind teachers who understand and accept women’s bodies exactly as they are and can provide guidance and support to their clients.
You will find classes, courses and caring teachers and you will be heard and seen here. You are so welcomed.
What are you struggling with?
Did you know that your hormones – throughout each cycle and throughout your different life stages – could be responsible for so many kinds of issues?
Energy
Energy fluctuates through the cycle and we can learn how to manage it.
Mood changes
Not only in the classic PMS, but throughout our life stages.
Sleep
Hormone changes are a leading cause of sleep problems.
Muscle Strength
Muscle strength varies across our menstrual cycle & hormonal life cycle
Joints & bones
Hormones changes can cause joint stiffness or pain & affect bone health.
Injuries
Clumsier now? Get injured more often? It can surprisingly be hormonal.
Fertility issues
A range of reproductive conditions can be tackled by hormone balance
Weight changes
Changes through the month and life stages can often impact our weigh.
Flushes and sweats
You probably know this one, but there is a lot we can do to help with them.
These are just some of the many ways that our hormones affect our life and our yoga.
Learning how to holistically balance our hormones can have a huge knock-on effect to the rest of our life.
“So many women continue to feel isolated, because we are told it is all in our heads. But it is not.”

How can I discover what stage of the hormonal lifecycle I am currently in?
Join our mailing list and receive a FREE FLOW EBOOK. It provides you with an overview of the hormonal lifecycle so you can identify which phase you are currently in. It also provides information on how to adapt your yoga practice in relation to working your personal menstrual or moon cycle and guidance to what FLOW courses might help you deeper your own knowledge.
Can yoga help me with PMS, reproductive conditions, and menopausal symptoms?
Can Menstrual Cycle Awareness* make me better at yoga?
Yes, and no, it depends on what you define as better. In my opinion Menstrual Cycle Awareness* creates a stronger bond and relationship with the different layers of the body. Becoming aware, listening, and accepting your body as it is, allows you to respect and honour the body, fluctuating hormones and energy in a way that is suitable for your unique body, and in my opinion that does make you better at yoga. If your definition of being better at yoga is practising consistently at the same level, pushing your body into advanced asana, and focusing on strength regardless of what your body is telling you, then I would ask you to rethink your definition of better as it might be good to a short period of time but the body will retaliate, think injury, illness, overwhelm and fatigue.
*Menstrual Cycle Awareness is a term originating from Red School, we recommend that you read Wise Power if you haven’t done so already.
Can I find an in-person class here?
Yes, please find information on local yoga classes and retreats here
I don’t do yoga yet, is there anything for me?
The teachers provide a selection of variations of each pose so you can make it easier or more challenging to match your level of energy and experience. Every pose is an opportunity for you to explore how it feels for your body. Kelsey recommends it will take anyone new or returning to a yoga practice 3 or 4 lessons to start to feel more at ease with a yoga practice and you should try different styles and teachers to find one that works for you.
How do I know this information is accurate?
All the information provided in FLOW’s classes, courses and teacher training has been researched and studied.
