Best Yoga Studio/Pilates Studio: Flow Yoga Studio 

With three distinct locations and one shared community, Flow Yoga Studio offers a dynamic and welcoming approach to movement across Northeast Ohio. Owned by married couple, Kevin Ament and Shannon Harrell, the studio has grown into a local favorite by blending high-quality instruction with spaces that each have their own personality. Members can move seamlessly between the Wilson Mills, Chagrin River and Legacy Village locations, accessing a wide range of classes, instructors and experiences under one membership.

Each studio brings something unique. The Gates Mills location overlooks the river and leans into calm, restorative classes in a serene setting. Wilson Mills — the original studio — is known for its candlelit, high-energy hot power sessions. Legacy Village, the newest space, offers a modern feel with a boutique, lounge and expanded Pilates and sculpt programming.

Beyond the mat, Flow fosters strong community connections through book clubs, retreats and social events. Members often travel together and build lasting relationships, creating an environment that feels both supportive and inspiring.

• Hot Power Yoga. It’s the foundation of Flow’s programming, and while it’s not for everyone, Harrell says there’s method to the madness of the mercury rising. “It helps your body get warmer faster and so you're able to get into certain postures in a way that you might not be able to do in like an air-conditioned gym,” she says.

• Light Heat Slow Flow or All Levels. A great starting point for beginners or anyone easing into practice. Instructors are super skilled at meeting students and tailoring to their abilities.

• Power and Pulse. A hybrid workout that combines yoga, Pilates and weight training. It is perfect for those who are trying out yoga for the first time or looking for a bridge from the intensity of Pilates and weight training to the mind-body-breath balance found in yoga.
