The Best Online Yoga Workout For Moms
During the 2020 lockdown, moms faced a new set of issues that required quick problem solving. We had to figure out how to maintain everything while our kids were stuck at home going to “school” online. Suddenly we were expected to juggle even more that we already were. Doing an online yoga workout was not making it to the to do list!
Working out quickly fell to priority level: LOW. For some of us it seemed completely justified to have what Lucille Bluth from Arrested Development refers to as “morning wine.” We became deeply entrenched in the Covid lifestyle more and more by the day and some of us haven’t re-emerged.
We get it. The creators of FlowLIFT, Carolina and Amanda, also own a yoga and fitness studio in downtown La Jolla, CA. When they were first closed down they taught live classes and recorded FlowLIFT workouts in the privacy of their space with no students in sight.
However as soon as Mr. Newsom deemed it the right time, they had to open their doors and welcome the willing back to class. They both had enjoyed the solitude of an empty studio but knew that no business can be sustained by online classes only.
Withdrawing has it’s benefits and one of them is the clarity and reinvention that comes with re-emergence. Perhaps you don’t hang out with all the same people and don’t pack your schedule with as much perpetual busy-ness. This also includes how and when we exercise.
We think FlowLIFT is the best workout that you can do with your time. And of course we are biased, this is undeniable! But our lockdown time gave us even more appreciation for how truly perfect this workout really is. These are our reasons why.

3 Reasons FlowLIFT is the Best Online Yoga Workout For Moms
Full Body Oddy Oddy Every Time
Whether we are busy at home with domestic duties or we’re balancing a career with motherhood, we don’t have time for leg days and arm days. We need to bang it out in one punch. FlowLIFT is a full body workout every single time.
Nothing is left out ever. Every single move requires the integrated movement of all the major muscle groups and joints. The weights plus cardio make it superior to most every other type of workout when it comes to burning fat and firing up our metabolism.
As moms, time is our greatest commodity, we need to make the best of it. FlowLIFT gives you everything you need in one class. If you don’t have time for the full 45 minute class, do an XpressLIFT for the perfect quickie.
Functional Fitness is Forever
What the heck is functional fitness? Functional fitness exercises train your muscles to work together and prepare them for daily tasks by simulating common movements you might do at home, at work or in sports. The FlowLIFT class only utilizes movements that contribute to functional fitness.
For example, a squat is a functional exercise because it trains the muscles used when you rise up and down from a chair or pick up low objects. Lunges are also a functional movement. Side lunges strengthen the muscles your body uses to move and change direction.
The floor exercises are an incredibly beneficial style of motion for the body. Every part of the FlowLIFT floor moves are executed from the deep core muscles. You are using multiple limbs at once and taking the joints through every range of motion.
FlowLIFT floor moves can be intimidating and frustrating. Persistence is key as well as taking your time and doing less reps. It’s better to do a movement slowly and deliberately rather than fast and sloppy. We don’t repeat movements however once you master one, the others come naturally.
If you’re going to workout, functional fitness is the way to go. FlowLIFT creates a superior level of balanced strength and range of motion. It also creates long, lean muscles similar to that of a dancer without the wear and tear that dancing promotes.
Online Yoga Workout FlowLIFT is the Look We’re All Going For
Functional, full body fitness is a good look. The muscles are lean and never bulky, as building up bulk impedes movement rather than enhances it. The weights plus cardio is the magic bullet for fat burning. Those extra pounds in the middle of the body start to melt away.
The “look” we’re all going for is radiance. One body type does not fit all. When we dedicate ourselves to a solid and healthy workout routine a few times a week, you start to stoke the fire that creates a healthy glow. Add a healthy diet and good night’s sleep to this, the glow glistens at new levels.
So trade in that morning wine for some green vibrance shaken up in some filtered water and throw on a FlowLIFT class. If the regular FlowLIFT class is too hard at first, try the LiteLIFT and XpressLITE classes. Check our recommended schedule every week for more guidance.
