Yoga Classes in St. Louis: Which One Should You Take at Personal Space Fitness?

Which Yoga Class Should You Take?

We offer three different yoga sessions at Personal Space Fitness. They’re all yoga—but they’re not interchangeable.

If you’re trying to decide what to book, here’s the simplest way to think about it:

• Yoga Practice = slower pace, more time to learn and refine

• Yoga Flow = continuous movement and rhythm

• Yoga Strength = yoga-based movement with more loading, holds, and strength focus

  
  

All three are coached, structured sessions. Personal mat required for each.

At-a-glance: the differences

Class	Best described as	Pace	Focus	Good for
Yoga Practice	Foundations + time to work	Slow to moderate	Technique, mobility, breath, positions	Beginners, returning to yoga, people who want to feel steady and clear
Yoga Flow	Continuous sequence	Moderate	Movement continuity, coordination, endurance	People who like rhythm, want to move more, want a “classic flow” feel
Yoga Strength	Strength-forward yoga	Moderate (with pauses)	Holds, control, stability, strength	People who want yoga plus strength, want to feel worked without chaos

Yoga Practice: for clarity, foundations, and steadiness

Yoga Practice is the least rushed format. It’s where you get time.

Expect:

• More setup and breakdown of positions

• More time spent in fewer shapes

• Options and modifications that make things feel doable

• A focus on control, breath, and repeatable mechanics

This is a strong first choice if:

• You’re newer to yoga

• You’ve taken yoga before but felt lost in faster classes

• You want mobility work that feels guided and calm

• You’d rather do it well than do it fast

Yoga+Practice (Personal Mat Required) | PSF

Rejuvenate and align your energy during this Hatha-based practice that is suitable for all levels and abilities. Yoga poses encourage strength and flexibility and the breathing techniques greatly reduce stress and anxiety. Expect to use props to encourage proper body positioning and alignment. All equipment is provided with the exception of your mat.

Yoga Flow: for rhythm, continuity, and “moving meditation”

Yoga Flow is the most continuous of the three. You’ll move through sequences that connect poses together with less downtime.

Expect:

• A steady pace

• Repeated patterns that get more familiar as class goes on

• A focus on transitions (not just the end positions)

• A workout feel that comes from consistency, not intensity tricks

  
  

This is a strong choice if:

• You like momentum and structure

• You want to move more than you want to pause

• You enjoy a traditional flow format

Yoga+Flow (Personal Mat Required) | PSF

Movement-rich flows and vinyasas will build heat, increase mobility and strength. Your practice will conclude with mindfulness and meditation. All equipment is provided with the exception of your mat. Please bring your own.

Yoga Strength: for stability, control, and building capacity

Yoga Strength shifts the emphasis toward strength and stability - often through longer holds, slower tempos, and positions that ask more of your legs, core, and shoulders.

Expect:

• More time under tension (holds, slow lowers, controlled reps)

• Strength and stability work inside familiar yoga shapes

• A pace that may include pauses (because strength needs them)

  
  

This is a strong choice if:

• You want yoga that also builds strength

• You like feeling “worked” but still want a coached, structured environment

• You want better control and stability, not just flexibility

Yoga+Strength (Personal Mat Required) | PSF

How to choose (simple rules)

If you’re torn, use this:

• Choose Yoga Practice if you want confidence and understanding

• Choose Yoga Flow if you want movement and rhythm

• Choose Yoga Strength if you want stability and strength focus

Still unsure? Start with Yoga Practice once or twice. It tends to make the other two feel easier and more familiar.

What all three have in common

• Coached session (you’re not just copying shapes in silence)

• Structured format (clear start, progression, and finish)

• Personal mat required

• Built to feel calm and repeatable, not chaotic
