We’re not your average yoga studio.
And we never wanted to be.
Strong Bodies. Sturdy Souls.Mission, Vision, & Values
Do Justice, Get Free— one yoga class, one community, one nation at a time.
We envision a world where all people, in all places are free, healed, and whole. Where wellness is not a luxury for the few, but a living reality for all.
What We Stand On
At our core, FlowWell believes personal embodiment leads to collective change. A disembodied people can never be free; we cannot be free, healed, or whole — disembodied, by ourselves, or without the presence of justice. By knowing enough about oneself to know something about your neighbor — and to want to change the conditions in which we all live.
If the point of yoga is to get us free (an interpretation of Yoga Sutra 4.34), then we must do justice: to ensure no neighbor is without a place to lay their head, that bellies go unfilled, minds unstimulated. While we may not be partisan, we are political — we have a point of view and a vision of how the world should orient. To be free, justice must be done.
We use this practice to strengthen our bodies and minds and to sturdy our hearts and souls. I believe we are at war — war against the schemes and schisms that pit us against each other in the name of greed, power, control, and domination. We prepare people to continue on.
We help remind people that they are holy and sacred, needed and necessary — that the same spark that started the universe is the same thing inside of them. I am speaking of a politics of regard, where we see each other as our business: a bond and a charge to keep.
Meet our Founder
Stephon J. Bradberry
Founder, FlowWell Yoga + Wellness
Stephon Bradberry didn’t start FlowWell because he wanted to open a yoga studio. He started it because he believed —deeply, persistently— that yoga had the power to get people free.
In 2022, he began hosting classes in parks, museums, hotels, event spaces, and community spaces across Washington, D.C. He refused to be bound to traditional yoga spaces knowing the people he wanted to practice with most weren’t in studios— but in their neighborhoods, churches, workplaces.
Three years later and over 9,000 participants later, FlowWell is building The Sanctuary— a home in historic Anacostia. A place where the practice that has always lived in community finally has a community to live in.
Stephon teaches, leads, builds, and serves from a simple conviction: personal embodiment drives collective change.
“The point of this practice is to get us free; we cannot get free, healed or whole disembodied, by ourselves or without the presence of justice. Here now we go to be good stewards building a world where all people, in all places, at all times can be free. ”
