Start your Sunday morning with intention.

This Slow Flow class is a gently-paced vinyasa practice that invites you to move, breathe, and settle into your body — no experience necessary, all levels welcome.

Slow Flow sits in the sweet spot between active and easeful, blending softness with strength. Expect a continuous, fluid sequence of standing and seated poses, linked with breath and held just long enough to find your foundation and fully arrive in each shape. This is a mindful, accessible flow designed to move with intention rather than speed. We’ll close every session with a generous savasana so you leave feeling grounded and renewed.

Whether you’ve never stepped on a mat or you’ve been practicing for years, this class is designed to meet you exactly where you are.

Join Kate Holter, founder and owner of Flood Yoga, for three Sunday mornings this summer. We will be using the beautiful Osberg Great Hall and the Fisherman's Sun Terrace for an indoor/outdoor yoga experience.

Please bring:

A yoga mat
Water bottle
Blanket/towel or other personal props for extra support (if desired)

Bio

Kate Holter

Founder & Lead Teacher, Flood Yoga · Ballard, Seattle

Kate Holter's relationship with yoga began not in a studio, but in a single quiet room… a one-on-one class at age twenty where she first learned the art of intentional breath. That moment of stillness, discovered in the midst of an anxious young life, became a flame she has tended for more than twenty-five years. Her path since then has wound through Ayurveda, nutrition, aromatherapy, and esthetics; through years of community-building in non-profit management and higher education; through marriage, family, and the particular kind of rootedness that comes from settling into a neighborhood and making it home. Through all of it, yoga remained her anchor… the place she always returned to herself.

Flood Yoga, the intimate Ballard studio Kate founded with her husband Daniel, was born from an unexpected moment of inspiration at the National Nordic Museum. Attending Flóð, the immersive installation by Jónsi (2023), Kate found herself moved in a way that clarified something she had long felt but never quite named — a longing for a space where breath, beauty, and community could exist together without hurry. The Scandinavian sensibility she had been absorbing through two decades of life alongside her husband’s Norwegian family… the reverence for simplicity, for nature, for ease… had quietly shaped her vision of what a yoga studio could be. Flóð made that vision visible. Flood Yoga followed.

Today Kate brings her whole self into every class—teacher, empath, guide, and perpetual student. Her practice is slow, intentional, and deeply welcoming, shaped by a belief that movement belongs to everyone and that the most powerful thing a teacher can offer is permission to slow down and listen. Returning to the Nordic Museum to lead this summer series feels, to Kate, less like an arrival than a homecoming.
