Francie is an amazingly talented yogateacher and just a very nice person to be around. She shares her wisdom in such a charismatic way that it really ignites a spark.
She has a personal approach and really takes her time for you. She knows how to create a safe and loving space. And bonus: she has a beautiful voice! Thanks Francie.

I was the karma yogi at Pure flow in December 2019 and it was the best time of my life %100! Honestly, the place is a hidden heaven. From the day you get there you’ll feel something is magical about this part of the island. Francie is an amazing person, inspiring angel, a gift from heaven to this earth to show you how much power you have on you! The retreats that she’s running are life changing!! It is a journey of the self, through the self, to the self, and you’ll be lucky to have the best guide throughout this journey. They also do 200h yoga teacher trainings, the timing wasn’t right for the one for this year but I’m looking forward to do the upcoming one! If you wanna treat yourself with some good food, wake up to amazing beaches and sunrises and travel with purpose, Pure Flow is what your looking for! I can’t wait to be back there ❤️

I did a week retreat in January and stayed a few days after. The yoga shala was absolutely beautiful and both teachers, Franci and Sophie, were super professionals and warm hearted, welcoming human beings. They really made me feel home there.
The yoga was good basic level but most importantly I think the week was structured nicely to accommodate all levels and give you tools for your own practice. There's meditation twice a day and and the surrounding nature really inspired my dharma. The location is beautiful and has a good balance of chill out and parties. It's bit posh but nonetheless there are many many lovely people to meet and share an amazing experience. I'm grateful for my time there and I'm very much looking forward to come back soon. Namaste 🙏🏽

First of all, the shala is located in the jungle, surrounded by abundant nature and only 5 min away from a stunning beach (Haad Yuan). The place is isolated from chaotic traffic so it's perfect to relax and turn inward. There aren't many restaurants around the area, but the few ones around are just amazing. The teachers are incredible and always happy to help and support the students, with active Vinyasa classes in the morning and gentle flow/Yin yoga in the afternoon. The retreat balances between meditation/pranayama sessions, yoga classes and workshops. Besides that, they offer a steam room and a massage pass which is great to find more relaxation and self-care. Pure Flow Yoga truly is a hidden gem!!!

Great yoga and meditation experience! Amazing teachers and a stunning setting. Highly recommended! I loved it!
Since September I've been meditating daily and this is partly your fault:-)
I set this goal during my retreat and it worked!
I've been trying to meditate regularly for years but each time I started, I stopped shortly after.
This time it worked and I'm so happy! It really changes something in your life. Now I feel more relaxed, more resilient, more balanced and happier.

I went on a retreat with Francie at Pure Flow Yoga a year and a half ago. The place was magical. But mostly, she was really inspiring to me.
I recently did a coaching session with her. It was really wonderful and empowering! Totally recommend Francie and Pure Flow Yoga!

I had a lovely retreat week at Pure Flow Yoga. We had a wonderful group, the shala and location were amazing, the yoga classes where good, some challenging, some really relaxing. We learned a lot about yoga and meditation and did some other fun things as well like singing and a sunrise hike. I do feel however that there could be some improvement. It was disappointing that all the classes during the retreat we had where drop-in classes, some being so full there was hardly any space. Also, the website states ''7 days, 6 nights retreat'' while in fact the retreat is just 5 full days. I was not the only one who was surprised by this. And lastly, I found it very rude to be asked to leave a 5 star review! We got asked this during class, and the sign outside says the same thing. So here is a three star review, because I can say I did have an amazing week and will benefit from what i've learned and practiced for the rest of my life, and the classes were great and i'd recommend hopping by, but I wouldn't recommend doing a retreat here. Namaste!

Hi Alana,
Thanks for taking the time to leave your honest review. I'm happy to hear you had an amazing time and have taken some life-long benefits, practices and connections with you.
I'm sorry for the disappointment you experienced. As it happened, we had our busiest drop-in classes on record for that one week in August in which you attended. it was unusual and I completely understand your frustration and will try to plan better for that next year.
In terms of the 7 days / 6 nights. We changed to this format last year in alignment with all of the 3rd party websites we work with, like "bookretreats" and "bookyogaretreats", who count the arrival and departure date. Because of our remote location, its important for people to plan to arrive the night before we start and leave the day after we finish. On our website, and in the 4 pre-retreat emails we send you, we outline in detail the program and make clear mention of this. For 6 months we offered a grounding flow class on Sundays, however we had zero attendance from retreat students who all felt they needed time to land and unpack that day after the travel. That being said, I will do my best to see how we can make this more clear for people who don't have time to read the details.
I'd also like to make mention that our robust, immersive and progressive program, which runs 5.5 hours each day Monday - Friday, goes above and beyond what most ongoing retreats are offering. On top of that, I believe that the value of having a community to go through this progressive journey and teachers along with you on that journey, providing individual feedback, provides a lot more value than simply having 3-4 random classes you can go to as a result of being at a big retreat center. This is what I feel sets us apart and what keeps some students coming back year after year.
Finally, every week I ask students that if you feel that this retreat made a difference in your life, to please leave us a positive 5 star review as this really truly helps us maintain existence and we beyond appreciate that. I am sorry you feel offended by my asking and thank you for pointing this out. I will share this more mindfully in the future.
As a very small solopreneur business, in a sea of of plenty of other retreat companies and Yoga schools with lots more money and resources than we have, I am doing my best and everything I can to try and maintain the existence of our school here so that it can thrive and be a beacon and haven for awakening to peace, joy, compassion, and love for students and teachers alike to connect with Yoga, Nature and Community.
Hope all of this helps and thanks again.
Sending lots of Love to you Alana

I planned to stay for the one-week-retreat but ended up staying over 10 days. Pure Flow is paradise-like!
YOGA
The yoga classes are well structured, the content is carefully and wisely chosen and the shala is amazing. We had the loveliest teachers and every day was special in its own way. The teachers are well trained and kind. Our group was extremely harmonic and we got along really well so that the farewell was not easy. I will never forget this week!
FOOD
Wow! The food at the bamboo is splendid. Fresh, super healthy vegetables and fruits and super amazing shakes and juices. I enjoyed it SO MUCH! The waiters were super friendly and the entire atmosphere was familial and super chill!
ACCOMMODATION
The accommodation was simple/basic but clean. During the week it was super quiet and one can sleep very deep there. You get used to the lower comfort level very quickly - you only have what you really need. I enjoyed this basic lifestyle a lot.
Wifi is available for an extra charge, which was not uncomfortable at first but supported the relaxation even more!
AREA
Since you can only reach Haad Yuan by boat it is not crowded, moreover, the crowd hanging out there is super special, super friendly and open-minded.
MASSAGES/STEAM BATH
The most amazing treat is the massage at Pam's as well as the steam bath at the Sanctuary. You should also try the delicious cake at the sanctuary as well as the cacao ceremony!
NIGHTLIFE
Visit the party spots on Friday and Saturday night - amazing!

From all the Yoga retreats available I chose this one because of the wonderfull location, the intimacy of small groups and the real yoga spirit with simple bungalows and a lot of meditation practice. I got all of this and a lot more. You cannot describe it, you have to feel it yourself: This place, the teachers and the community is pure magic! My 2 weeks at pure flow helped me a lot at a difficult point in my life and was, by the way, a lot of fun :)
Thank you magic people Francie, Ellanah and Sophie and my beautiful 2 week group members for lots and lots of love and everything!

Hello,
Is it easy to get to your resort? I would be travelling from Bangkok. Thanks. E
Written April 8, 2018
Hi there, forgiveness for the late reply. Did not see that there was messages here. The easiest way to reach our location is by flying to Ko Samui, then taking a ferry to Koh Phangan, and then A taxi boat to a remote location. There’s more info on our website if you want to check that out. Hope that helps!
