About your trainers:
Hustle and Flow and Electric Cottage Collective are thrilled to bring you an exciting dance cardio training! While our businesses and movement styles are unique to us, we share a strong foundation and belief in inclusivity, community and the power of collaboration. By combining our innovative approaches, we’re creating a dynamic experience that celebrates unity and community. This is more than a workout—it’s a reminder that when we come together, we can achieve incredible things. Join us as we move, connect, and grow stronger, together!
Stephanie Harmon is the owner of Hustle and Flow and has been teaching dance for 11 years at the studio and trained and danced for fun for many years prior. Steph grew up learning and training in Hip Hop and West African Dance specifically and has explored many different types of movement and dance classes, while also getting certified in Yoga, Reiki, Thai table and floor massage.
Liz Kovarsky (she/her) discovered in her late twenties that it feels much better to sweat it out on the dance floor when we’re swapping water for booze, and late nights for early mornings! She became a regular student in Steph’s Hustlercise classes in 2015, and by 2018 was leading her own Hustlercise classes. Liz is trained in many movement practices including multiple styles of yoga, barre, and various wisdom traditions grounded in embodiment, expressive arts and somatics. Liz owns Electric Cottage Collective in Brunswick, where they offer Body Language dance cardio classes, in addition to many other joyful movement & arts classes!

Slow Flow Yoga
2025-10-02 07:30 - 08:30 | Electric Cottage Collective, 82 Pleasant St, Brunswick, ME, 04011, United States
🧘‍♀️ Slow Flow is a weekly, all-levels yoga class offered on a pay-what-you-can basis—from $0 to $75. This class is all about moving gently and intentionally, blending mindful movement with spacious pauses for breath and rest. Whether you’re new to yoga or a longtime practitioner, you’re welcome just as you are.
At ECC, we believe yoga is so much more than a stretchy workout. It’s a lifelong, spiritual practice rooted in the wisdom of Southeast Asian and African traditions—one that invites us into deeper relationship with ourselves, each other, and the world around us.
We do our best to honor yoga’s roots by weaving in teachings on self-awareness, ethics, and collective care—while keeping our classes slow, grounding, and accessible. ✨
🌱 All donations for this class go directly to our Class Scholarship Fund, which helps folks access other ECC classes and workshops. When the fund is thriving, we extend it to support local mutual aid projects too. Got an idea for where it could go next? We’d love to hear it!
💕 And just to be crystal clear: nobody will ever be turned away for lack of funds. Come as you are, and move with us in community.
