Francie La Flow
Workshops, experiences and collaborations for studios, retreats, trainings and festivals
Hi, I’m Francie
My work is helping people move from held back and playing small to embodied and empowered in their voice and their expression.
I’m a voice and somatic teacher, a musician, and a yoga teacher of fifteen years. I’m home-based at The Yoga Barn in Ubud, Bali, and I love getting out and connecting with people around the world.
I lost my own voice for a year and a half after trauma, and found my way back through song, somatic practice and devotion. That is where the Vocal Flow Method came from.
What I do is help people relax into sound, take up space, and reconnect with the voice that is already theirs. It goes deep, it is a lot more fun than people expect, and nobody needs to be able to sing. As one student put it after her first workshop, “you just crack open a little bit.”
I would love to come to your community or your space and share singing, music, yoga or a somatic talk. If your group has a particular intention or theme, tell me what it is and I will build around it. A custom experience costs you nothing extra and almost always lands better than something off the shelf.

Signature offerings
What I can bring youThree shapes. A class is the most direct way in, a straight embodied experience. A workshop goes deeper, into the somatics of expression and the nervous system. An experience is the one you put on your poster. No experience needed, ever.
-
Class · 60 to 90 min
Awaken Your Voice: Embody, Empower, Express
A vocal activation and singing class for people who are sure they cannot sing.
Sing your heart open. A vocal activation and singing class with Francie La Flow. Breath, gentle movement and sound to open the jaw, throat and ribs, then singing together in harmony anyone can find. You will leave lighter, with simple practices to keep your voice open. No experience needed.
Drops straight into your timetable

Workshop · 2 to 3 hours
Sound of You: Somatic Voice Healing Workshop
Why the voice gets stuck, and how to unstick it.
A somatic voice workshop with Francie La Flow, working with the held breath, the apology before speaking and the worry about sounding good, and then singing anyway. Long enough to go past the first opening into what is underneath it. You will leave with a felt sense of where your voice holds on, and practical ways to let it go. No experience needed.
A ticketed afternoon or evening
-
Experience · about 2 hours
HeartSong Experience
Concert and singing circle in one.
Mantra and medicine music from around the world, played live by Francie La Flow, with call and response simple enough that anyone joins in. Come to listen or come to sing. You will leave with the joy of singing in community, and songs to carry home. No experience needed.
Your headline event
The words on each card are yours. Paste them straight into your schedule, newsletter or poster, or ask me for a version in your own voice.
My method
What I draw from. Whatever shape we choose is built out of these four.
- Voice, Sound Healing and BhaktiVocal activation, mantra, kirtan, harmony and sound bath.
- Somatic Integration and Compassionate InquiryNervous system work, and trauma aware inquiry trained with Dr Gabor Maté.
- Yoga and Embodied PracticeAsana, pranayama, meditation and the philosophy underneath.
- Flow Psychology and ExpressionFlow states, and the Vocal Flow Codes for leading with the voice.
Yoga & somatics
If you have a different slotThe voice work is what I am known for, but it grew out of fifteen years on a mat. I am happy to fill a regular class slot while I am with you.
Bhakti Flow · invoking Tara · a full class, start to finish
- Pure Flow Yoga, 60 to 90 minutes. Vinyasa, hatha, yin or bhakti flow, whichever suits your schedule. Meditation, pranayama, poetry and devotional music woven through.
- Bhakti Flow. The devotional one, where the practice is carried by mantra and singing. This is the closest my yoga gets to my voice work, and the video is a whole class if you want to see how I hold a room.
- Ceremony and held space. Kirtan, cacao ceremony, song held in medicine space, or closing your ecstatic dance with live voice. If your programme already runs these, I can carry one or support whoever is leading it.
- Compassionate Inquiry sessions. I am trained with Dr Gabor Maté. If your guests want deeper one to one work while I am on site, I can hold private sessions alongside the group programme.
Tell me which one fits your room and roughly when, and I will shape it around you. Book a time to chat
How it actually works
Formats, timings and what I needNot everything is a class. These usually start with a conversation rather than a booking, and I am genuinely open to all of them.
-
Podcasts, both directions
I am an easy guest on the voice, the nervous system, losing my own voice for a year and a half, and what actually brings it back. I also host The Flow Frequency, so if your work belongs in front of my community, come on the show instead.
-
Speaking and summits
A talk rather than a workshop. The Somatic Voice: why the throat closes, the four ways a nervous system shows up in a voice, and what opens it again. Twenty to sixty minutes, online or in the room.
-
Festivals
I have taught and played at BaliSpirit Festival and Oregon Eclipse. Classes, a kirtan set, or a main stage singing circle that gets a field full of strangers singing in harmony.
-
Programming and production
My other hat. Fifteen years curating retreats, trainings and festival programmes, including for The Yoga Barn and BaliSpirit. Brand voice, content direction, teacher coordination and event production for spaces that know what they are and cannot yet say it out loud.
Flow Frequency consulting
Trainees can master anatomy, sequencing and technique and still freeze when it is time to speak, cue, chant or hold a room. The throat is where the nervous system shows what the mind has learned to hide. They leave with embodied confidence, an understanding of how sound regulates the nervous system, and permission to stop being perfect.
-
A guest session
Ninety minutes to three hours inside your existing curriculum, shaped to where your trainees are in the course. Speaking, singing and guiding from the body rather than the head, so their teaching voice comes out grounded and true.
-
The full module, five sessions
Vocal Liberation: Find & Empower Your Voice. Built as a specialisation inside your training rather than a guest slot bolted onto it. Why a voice goes quiet, the nervous system in the throat, and their voice as a teacher. I have run this as a complete module on other teachers’ trainings.
-
Build the specialisation with me
I have run my own trainings, not only taught on other people’s. Pure Flow Yoga is a Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga School and I led 200 hour teacher trainings for years from my own centre in Thailand. If you want voice designed into your curriculum rather than booked as a guest slot, I can help you build it.
Inside the full module
Vocal Liberation: Find & Empower Your Voice
- Why a voice goes quiet. Yoga, the voice and trauma, and the anatomy of expression in a real person sitting in front of you.
- The nervous system in the throat. Stress, emotion and the vagus nerve, and why public speaking sits in almost everyone’s top three fears.
- Their voice as a teacher. Holding space, cueing, and the words that shame against the words that free. Then reflection and integration.
In person or online, with a written module for your training manual so your students leave with it in their hands. It stretches or shortens to the hours you have, and I will send you the full session by session outline on request.
Tell me how many hours you have and where it sits in the course, and I will shape it around you. Book a time to chat
Voice work lands differently inside a retreat, because the group already trusts each other. That is exactly what people need in order to be loud in front of one another, so it usually works best on day two or three rather than on arrival.
-
A full day
Awaken Your Voice and Sound Healing. The full voice journey in the morning, a long sound bath to land it in the afternoon. This is the day people talk about afterwards.
-
One session inside your schedule
Ninety minutes to three hours, slotted where it serves your arc and shaped around your theme. Or several shorter sessions across the week, so the thread builds and people who were silent on Monday are singing by Friday.
-
A private circle
For a group that already knows each other. A birthday, a gathering, a team, a family. Songs, story and singing together, with nobody put on the spot.
Tell me your theme, your dates and how long you have, and I will propose a shape. Book a time to chat
