Tulum Vibes in the Heights: Obsidian Flow Yoga Brings Luxe, Retreat-Like Studio to Houston

A SLICE OF Tulum is arriving in the Heights with the opening of Obsidian Flow Yoga on June 16. Designed to channel the peaceful, rejuvenating energy of the famed Mexican destination, this new boutique yoga studio is setting a new standard for modern wellness spaces — without the need for a passport!


Obsidian will blend boho-luxe aesthetics, lush greenery and warm textures to offer an immersive retreat experience to yogis. From infrared-heated vinyasa flows to restorative, prenatal and family yoga, the studio is designed to meet students at every stage of their journey.

Owners Alfonso Moguel and Carolina Simon, inspired by international wellness destinations, envisioned Obsidian Flow as a community-rooted sanctuary. “We wanted to create a space that feels like a retreat, one that organically grows within Houston but also evokes that grounding, soulful energy of Tulum,” they shared. The studio is committed to community giving and has already partnered with Southern Kindness Gallery and the American Cancer Society.

Obsidian also offers access to the Ember Suite, a luxury, bookable spa-shower experience, as well as onsite Cold Plunge sessions— ideal for recovery and rejuvenation. And, the Obsidian Shake Bar will feature organic smoothies.
