1:1 Mentorship For Yoga Teachers
Let’s hear what students are saying!
Francie is such a passionate soul! She is either 100% in what she does or zero and all the time I have witnessed her give 100-200% her best, coupled with the unique expression of herself. Francie beautifully combines yoga asana practice with other creative arts such as oracle cards, music, journaling, meditation, singing and more. I so love her energy and presence!
What more to look for in a yoga teacher/mentor than someone who lives yoga and breathes yoga! Thank you Francie for beautifully holding a safe space for to explore ourselves through yoga. Highly recommended!
– Sarah, Philippines
Hey Francie, just wanted to say thank you again so much for your time, it was wild how quickly and time went and how deep you went. I appreciate you being so open to hear me, to support me and offering guidance and wisdom in so many ways.

Retreat Testimonials
“I will make my review short and to the point.
THIS IS THE BEST YOGA RETREAT.
Just do it and you wont regret!!! I can agree with all the rest of 5 star reviews here.
Life changing. Beautiful. Simply AMAZING.
Booked for 1 week -stayed 2 and want to come back!!!”
We are so happy and thankful that we choose Pure Flow! It was our first yoga and mediation retreat and it offered the perfect balance between a well structured, rich program and a super relaxing atmosphere and beautiful location. The teachers were great personalities with a vast experience across yoga philosophy, practice, healing etc. We are relatively new to the field and we really benefited from the retreat to reflect on the past and to learn how to cope with problems in our everyday life as well as to progress towards our long-term goals in life. We also progressed in the physical aspect of yoga, our bodies feel much better after this week and the teachers paid individual attention so that we could work on our technique. Our retreat group was small which was great and the atmosphere was super positive. We will definitely come back, thank you Pure Flow!!
One of the most amazing experience ever. Sophie and Ellana were inspiring and I took away so much more than I could of imagined and left a piece of my heart on the island and those lovely bamboo huts. Highly recommend the bamboo huts for basic but chilling accommodation. The staff are so friendly and the food is the best. Nothing but good things to say about this retreat.
You are looking for a yoga retreat in paradise and are not sure if you should do it and if this is a good one? Stop thinking about it and book!!!! If you are struggling with traveling alone – stop struggling (I did as well): you will find friends for a lifetime! This is a promise. It doesn’t matter if you are a total beginner or a yoga teacher. We had a totally mixed group of men and women between 25 and 52 years, all levels. And everybody was happy afterwards. They say it’s a life changing program. Well, I thought this is quite a big challenge to call your program life changing. But you know what? It is! I came here very spontaneously in the most lost situation of my life totally on my own. And what should I say! It is an honor to get to know Francie and Atira, two wonderful souls who teach you yoga with all its aspects in a authenticity that you will be overwhelmed. After this week I’m not the same any more. LIFECHANGING ist nothing to write about, you have to experience it. The retreat programm so well organised, you are taking part of different types of yoga classes, meditation sessions, workshops and much more. You can choose accommodation between very basic (bamboo huts, directly at the yoga hall) and more luxury (other resort at the beach, 5 min walk). I choose the bamboo huts even that I was afraid of the cold shower. And now I’m writing something I never thought I would- I enjoyed it. It’s so warm outside, you don’t need hot shower (a 100%hot shower girl is speaking). The accommodation is basic but enough and for the group communication it was the best place to stay because everybody was around. I was very lucky with my group, there are likeminded people with their own stories – I met beautiful souls from all over the world and I think it’s not overestimated when I say some of these will be friends for a lifetime. I have not even one negative topic to write. So if you are interested in a yoga retreat you should book here in this second – you won’t regret it! That’s a promise as well!
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… I planned to stay for the one-week-retreat but ended up staying over 10 days.
Pure Flow is paradise-like!
I recently finished a 7 Day retreat here and I have to say that my expectations were blown out of the water. I am not overly spiritual or that experience in Yoga but I came on this retreat with an open mind and to say that I was not disappointed would be a catastrophic understatement. This place, the people and the teachers combine into an unstoppable force that I challenge anyone to experience and not leave feeling like a new person both physically and mentally. Thank you Francie and Atira for a truly life-enhancing experience. I can’t wait to come back.

Hi Francie,
I went to a yoga class with you this fall and was very taken by the song you sang at the end, Hymn to the soul. Thank you! When I got home I dusted off my old guitar and I’m now learning to play, slowly.

Coaching Success Stories
“Just wanted to say a BIG thank you for today. Felt a big weight was lifted off my chest, and felt joyful throughout the day”.
– Elyssa, Lebanon
“Working 1:1 with Francie was a blessing. It allowed me to deepen my knowledge and made me a lot more confident. “Francie has a great combination of being extremely knowledgable and being able to teach and convey different points and make them practical and easy to understand. She also cares deeply about people and the people she works with. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Matt – USA Mindfulness Coach
“Francie gave me profound and practice advice on ways to move into the online realm…how to promote yourself, how to promote your business, and working with a lot of challenges that come up, breaking down what’s going on in your mind. She has a clear vision to see what’s going on, and what needs to move. She takes notes during the session and those notes are an incredible resource to refer back to and very organised. HIGHLY RECOMMEND sessions with Francie”.
– Nolita Ananda, Yoga Teacher, Beauty Spa Therapist, Jade Egg
“You’ve been so helpful. Your clarity, your enthusiasm, your knowledge, your belief in what I do, your inspiration has been so helpful to get me to move forward through the maze of things I am resistant to – the tech, the online mountains things – of trying to bring yoga life to people out there through the airwaves. Your combination of coaching, friendship and willingness to sit and help and hold my hand and show me how to do things has really helped me move through a lot of overwhelm, feeling of “I don’t know where to start”. Somehow through your guidance I have been able to move things forward in a way that feels manageable and tangibly effective. I know where I’m gonna and what i’m doing and you’ve been instrumental in that. Thank you!”

Vocal Awakening Testimonials
Working with Francie has been one of the greatest highlights of my Yoga Teacher Training. Francie was born for this work and she shows up authentic, passionate, knowledgeable, caring, experienced and skilled (and fun!). Words don’t do justice to how grateful I am to have gotten to train with her!

Hey Beautiful, Your voice activation was super duper cool, I love the feeling that we could feel like children and sing, say light languages without any nervousness, thank you for all you did! Thank you so much! I’ll practice to sing and record it to you back.haha
Hi Francie,
I just went to your vocal class at Yoga Barn, thank you so much. I came because I struggle with my voice and taking up space in terms of sound that was my original reason but then through the class, playing and the wows and being a child again really it made me laugh and it really helped release a weight I’ve felt the past weeks. I realized I haven’t laughed in a while so thank you 🥰 it was what I wanted but it also gave me what I needed ( and didn’t know).
You have a beautiful voice and I wish more people could experience the joy and brightness you exude!
Hi Francie, I attended your amazing class this morning and would be really happy to listen to the prayer we all sang together. Thank you so so much for the class! 🤍 🙏
Hey Francie, I just wanna send a personal thank you for coming into the training. I know it was well received. I had a really sweet, beautiful and emotional experience. It was sweet not having to dig into necessarily understand everything, which I think is a cool way to heal. Thank you again for your joyful presence and your playful energy.
We loved your class so much today! Thank you 😍 🙏
Hi Francie! It’s so lovely to meet you and thank you for your beautiful message. Everything about you and what you do speaks to my soul!!
I have been traveling Thailand for 3 months and just completed my YTT and sound healing certifications. I am also a massage therapist of 10 years specializing in deep tissue and myofascial release in Canada. I have always loved to sing and am on a journey of voice activation/ and sound healing. It is my dream to specialize in vocal trainings and help lead others on their path.
😍 🙏
Thank you for the voice activation session today. So pure so strong so beautiful 🙏✨
Thank you so much for creating a space that feels safe and encourages us to share and get out of that “scary comfort zone”
Hello, I attended your vocal lesson in Ubud. I really liked it and worked through the blocks of the fifth chakra. Thank you.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE
I attended the 200h YTT at Pure Flow and it has been a fantastic experience.
The training was intense but absolutely rewarding. It was an intimate experience with a small group of students compare to other schools and that is perfect because it gives you a great opportunity to get closer with your classmate and your teachers. Francie and Atira are amazing teachers and are both extremely passionate in what they do. During the training we had the opportunity to experience guest lecturers which were absolutely amazing and inspiring. This is key to avoid boredom and enjoy every single day of your training.
The location is absolute magic: located in a quiet and remote area of Koh Phangan (you can only access it via taxi boat, there are not scooters driving around) its the perfect location to immerse yourself in yoga. The yoga shala is immerse in the jungle which makes each class and lecture unique.
The bay is full of interesting people and every weekend there are parties going on so in case you want to dance this is the perfect place (forget about the full moon!).A yoga teacher training is not a holiday so prepare yourself to hard work and lots of hours but its an incredibly rewarding experience that will make you grow as a person and fill you with joy (and be sure it will be fun!).
Thank you Francie and Atira for this incredible experience, keep up the amazing work!
If you are considering doing it, do yourself a favour: stop thinking and just do it!
– Mirco, Italy
“I feel endless gratitude to Francie and her beautiful team that offered so MUCH MORE than four UNFORGETTABLE weeks of 200 HRS TEACHER TRAINING.
Where to begin? All teachers (including AMAZING guest teachers) were truly unique and shared incredlible knowledge and themes! They ALWAYS gave us all the support needed! Since we were a small group of ten trainees, you felt seen & heard as an individual at all times.
Where to continue? THE bay, THE shala, THE classes, THE activities, THE music, THE dances, THE meditation, THE sunrises, THE bungalows (BAMBOO HUT!!!), THE staff, THE food, THE spirit, THE love, THE people and THE embrace were BEYOND AMAZING & MAGIC!!
Where to end? I highly recommend this once-in-a-lifetime experience to everybody that is eager to learn more than just asanas, that is willing to open up and step out of her/his comfort zone – for the higher good and a better self, to anybody that is ready for the magic to happen and who is (at least) a (small) hippie at heart.”
…An experience out of Time….This little jewel of the sea has everything to offer: from the wildest and most transgressive parties to yoga retreats in the jungle. Pure Yoga Flow, in Haad Rin Bay, is definitely the most inspiring yoga course I have ever attended: a peaceful yet powerful oasis….
