Beginner FAQ
Everything you mightwonderbefore class
No experience needed. No pressure to perform. Rest anytime. All bodies welcome.
Brand new to yoga
Yes. R&B Beginners Yoga is designed for absolute beginners — people who have never taken a yoga class, are returning after a long break, or want a calmer way to move. No experience is required.
No. You do not have to be flexible to begin. Every shape has options, and the goal is comfortable, supported movement rather than a deep stretch.
You are invited to notice your breathing, comfort, tension, and sensations as you move. The focus is on experiencing your body — not achieving a perfect pose.
Gentle, choice-centered yoga informed by trauma-aware principles: you stay in control of your practice. You may choose a different movement, keep your eyes open, rest, or step out at any time without needing to explain.
Rest is always welcome. Sit down, take a resting position, use a chair, or simply pause. Bo will keep teaching without drawing attention to you.
Yes, at any point and for any reason. You never need to explain, and you are welcome to come back in.
Faith in the practice
Fitness Flow is a Christian faith-led wellness brand. Christian scripture, gratitude, prayer, and reflection may be included as part of the practice, woven gently into breath and stillness.
No. Students are welcome to participate in a way that feels comfortable and respectful. You may rest quietly during those moments — everyone is welcome in the room.
About Bo
Every class is taught by Bo, founder of Fitness Flow™ LLC, a Virginia limited liability company. Bo teaches gentle, faith-led beginner yoga at 9200 Stony Point Pkwy, Richmond, Virginia — 10:00 AM classes at Love Mila Brand Store (Suite 133) and 12:30 PM classes at Boss Lady Fitness (Suite 178).
Beginner-first and consent-based: every pose is cued slowly with a chair, seated, or resting option, and no hands-on adjustment is ever given without clear permission. Questions about Bo's training are always welcome at Bo@fitnessflowbybo.com.
Comfort, consent, and accessibility
No hands-on adjustments will be given without clear permission.
Always. Eyes open is a completely normal choice and is offered out loud in class.
Yes. Chair-supported options are offered throughout class, and you may use one for all or part of the practice.
No. Class includes standing, seated, chair-based, and floor movements, and a seated or chair version is offered for every floor shape.
Chairs are available in the studio space. Please bring your own mat if you have one. A limited number of loaner mats and blocks are kept on hand, offered first come, first served — bringing your own is the surest way to be comfortable.
Only occasionally, and never by surprise. Bo asks the whole room for verbal permission before any photo or video is taken, and you can opt out at any time — just say so and you will be kept out of frame.
Classes are open to students 16 and older. Anyone under 18 is welcome when accompanied by a parent or guardian who registers with them.
Fitness Flow classes are wellness and movement experiences and are not medical, physical-therapy, or mental-health treatment. Please consult an appropriate healthcare professional regarding individual conditions, injuries, pregnancy, or limitations. You are welcome to message Bo before class so options can be offered for you.
Logistics
Sixty minutes, start to finish.
Comfortable clothing you can move and breathe in. No special yoga clothing is required. Classes are practiced barefoot or in grippy socks.
A yoga mat if you have one, water, and anything that helps you feel comfortable. Please avoid a large meal right before class, and go easy on strong fragrances out of care for the room.
Doors open 10 minutes before class begins. Arriving then gives you time to settle in.
The 10:00 AM R&B Beginners Yoga class is set to a curated R&B playlist that plays throughout the practice. The 12:30 PM Body Restore and Relaxation Yoga class is a quieter, restorative flow with minimal or no music. When music is played, selections are kept clean and the volume stays comfortable so Bo's cues are always easy to hear.
Free parking is available at Stony Point Fashion Park, 9200 Stony Point Pkwy. Arrive a few minutes early to find a spot near your suite and check in.
It depends on your class time. For 10:00 AM classes, enter Love Mila Brand Store at Suite 133. For 12:30 PM classes, use the main Boss Lady Fitness entrance at Suite 178. Bo will greet you inside either way.
Yes, please. Spots are limited, and booking online holds your place and gets you arrival details by email.
Advance online registration is required so Bo can prepare the room and maintain a comfortable class size.
Email Bo@fitnessflowbybo.com or use the contact form. You are welcome to reach out privately with questions about comfort, accessibility, faith practices, or what to expect.
Booking, cancellation, and refunds
Every confirmation email includes a private link to view or cancel your reservation. Cancelling releases your spot so another student can take it.
All sales are final. Bookings are non-refundable.
Bookings cannot be exchanged or moved to another class date. If something comes up, please cancel so your spot can be released.
If Bo has to cancel a class, you will be contacted directly and offered a seat at the next class or a full refund of that booking.
