Inside Flow is a yoga style where every pose is choreographed to the music - no awkward silences between transitions, no hanging around waiting for the next cue. Your breath and body move in time with the beat, which gives the whole thing an almost dance-like quality that feels nothing like a standard studio class.
This Dublin class uses tracks from Taylor Swift’s catalogue to build a sequence that genuinely tells a story through movement. You don’t have to be a lifelong Swiftie to get something out of it - if you enjoy moving to a great playlist, the energy here is unlike anything else you’ll find in the city. The instructor has been building this community in Dublin for over two years, and the atmosphere is genuinely warm and welcoming from the moment you walk in.
You don’t need any prior yoga experience either. The flow is put together so beginners can follow along at their own pace, while more experienced practitioners can go deeper into each movement. It’s the only Inside Flow Yoga class running in Dublin, which makes it a proper one-of-a-kind spot on any visitor’s or local’s radar.
Go in without any preconceptions about what a yoga class should feel like. This one sits somewhere between movement, music, and meditation, and the more you let yourself follow the choreography rather than overthink the poses, the better it gets. First-timers often say it clicked for them about ten minutes in.
If you’re bringing a mat, a non-slip one is worth the effort. Some of the flow sequences hold you in positions longer than you’d expect, and a mat that slides around on studio floors will distract you from the whole point. If you don’t have your own, check with the venue ahead of time about what’s available.
Arrive five to ten minutes early if you can. It gives you a chance to settle in, chat with the instructor, and get a feel for the space before the music starts. Rushing in at the last second and trying to find a spot while the class begins isn’t the ideal introduction.
It pairs well with a walk along the Grand Canal afterwards. The canal towpath is a short distance from the city centre and a genuinely lovely way to wind down after class - flat, quiet, and very Dublin. Grab a coffee from one of the spots near Portobello and enjoy the water.
