Lotus Flow Movement

Today was my first Jumping Stretch Board session, and my first visit to Lotus Flow Studio. Natalie was able to gauge my level of experience with Gyrotonic, and selected movement sequences that were appropriate to my strength and flexibility level, while challenging me to reach farther. She gave me useful visual and verbal cuing, helping me to find myself in space in the new planes and positions the Jumping Stretch Board makes possible. I felt safe and self empowered at the same time. This session was so delicious on so many levels! The hour flew by — truly, we were in the flow! When I come back to the desert in the spring, I’ll be booking at least two sessions at Lotus Flow Studio, maybe more. A wonderful experience!

The body barre class is exceptional and so welcome in the desert! Natalie does a wonderful job of toning, stretching and building strength in a environment that is encouraging with each challenge. I keep telling my friends to check it out and thought a Unilocal review might help to do justice for this GREAT CLASS.

I always tell Natalie how much I love doing gyrotonic with her and thought it would be nice to share my feelings here.
I’m so happy with how gyro (and the studio’s other equipment and Natalie’s knowledge) tones my core, gives me amazing joint mobility, and lengthens my body.
I love the studio, it’s so bright, calm, and clean.
Natalie always keep my workout interesting and fun! My friend Elie told me that I would love working out with Natalie. She was right!

I went back to the studio this morning for a private Gyrotonics session with Indika. It was AWESOME! I am so excited to have found this lovely gem of a place! I suggest everyone go check it out! I will be telling ALL my friends! Thank you, thank you!

I was in town for 2 days to support a good friend who was dealing with a family emergency. As such, I had time to kill and was looking for a healthy way to spend my time and get a workout in. I am in pretty good shape, but had never done barre before and wanted to try it. I can’t say enough good things. Natalie is energetic, incredibly fit and a great teacher. I worked muscles I never knew existed, lol. I loved the beautiful, intimate studio setting and small group. Very supportive in helping a beginner keep up and work up a good sweat. On top of the barre class, I also signed up for the yoga workshop with essential oils that Natalie was hosting at the studio. It was taught by Bronwyn from Evolve Yoga. I absolutely loved it. I have been practicing yoga for several months now, but until this class, never knew yoga could be like this. Bronwyn used essential oils to enhance the experience, and the class held postures and moves through the flows slowly and meaningfully. I really felt for the first time how yoga could have a more restorative effect. The experience has inspired me to try different studios when I get home in search of a similar teaching style. All in all, I am very thankful I happened upon Natalie and her studio, and Bronwyn’s yoga class. I would absolutely recommend it and plan to go there again if I’m back in the desert anytime soon.

I recently took the Gyrotonic Pre-​training course with Natalie and it was amazing! She explains the movement and helps your body feel the right way to not only perform the exercise but how to teach the movement to a client. The studio is immaculate and has such a positive atmosphere. I feel Natalie has prepared me for my Gyrotonic foundations course and I am excited to start practicing and teaching others the benefits this amazing form of movement! Thank you Lotus Flow Movement!

After finding out that there was a pilates studio opening on El Paseo from a Lululemon Palm Desert post on Facebook, I knew I had to give it a whirl. I live in Chicago and frequently come out to the desert to spend time with family. Prior to Lotus Flow opening, I have never really found any studio in Palm Desert that enticed me. My mom was lucky enough to give Lotus Flow a try in February and she highly recommended that I stop in and take a private from Natalie while in PD in April. I took an amazing yoga class which turned out to be more of a private since I was the only one there. I also booked a private with Natalie. I have been on the reformer a lot (she’s got the best there are… Balanced Body Allegro 2’s) but I had yet to be on a Gyrotonic. She was able to give me a mix of work on the trap table and gyrotonic and it was fantastic. I’m so happy that Palm Desert has such an amazing boutique studio offering a variety of classes with the best machines! I will absolutely be back the next time I’m in Palm Desert!

LFM is a beautiful studio on El Paseo. Natalie Taylor shares her experience in Gyrotonic, Pilates and Barre with precision, creativity and inspiration. Natalie focuses her attention on each student to improve their health and fitness. My strength has improved significantly while enjoying a wonderful workout.
