Step outside the classic sequences with these 4 creative transitions that will energise your flow...
Our story
Two teachers, one shared energy
Flowaway Yoga Retreats was born from the meeting of Alexandra and Maïwenn, two passionate yoga teachers who united their worlds to create immersive retreats bringing together an international community with a shared love of travel, movement and inner transformation.
“More than a yoga retreat, we create experiences designed to move, breathe, connect and celebrate life.”
Alexandra
Dynamic Vinyasa · Power Vinyasa · Solar Energy
Alexandra discovered yoga in 2012 and explored many different styles over her years of living abroad. Based in Dubai for more than ten years, where she worked as a schoolteacher, she trained at Zen Yoga Dubai and gradually decided to make yoga her profession. Certified RYT 500, she deepened her practice with an aerial yoga training in London in 2023. She then relocated to Lyon, where she spent three years developing her teaching and gathering a wonderful community of yogis, both French and expats. Based in London since September 2025, Alexandra now teaches in several studios across the city and shares a dynamic, creative style of yoga, while organising retreats in France and internationally.

Maïwenn
Yoga Dance · Fluid Vinyasa & Creative Movement · Lunar Energy
A former fashion designer turned yoga and dance teacher, Maïwenn has developed an approach centred on mindful movement, fluidity and self-expression. A lifelong dancer, trained in yoga in India in 2019, she now teaches between France and Switzerland after living and teaching in India and Morocco. Also a YogaDanse teacher trainer since 2025, she shares a lively, inspiring way of teaching that blends dance, aerial yoga and body exploration.

Testimonials from our participants
This retreat was absolutely magical, from the breathtaking nature to the laughter, tears, and deep peace we shared. Meeting incredible new women and reconnecting with beautiful souls I already knew, including our amazing teachers Alex & Maïwenn, was such a gift. These retreats have become essential in my life, real anchors for my well-being and joy.
The yoga retreats I share with Maïwenn and Alexandra are so much more than a simple pause in my everyday life. They are sacred moments where time stands still, where kindness flows freely and where everyone can simply be. In every moment, I feel immense gratitude for the bonds that form and for the peace that settles deep within me.
I was lucky enough to go on retreat with Flowaway, and every moment was pure joy. Alexandra is a ray of sunshine: boundless energy, creativity and so much generosity. She guided me with kindness as I explored challenging postures. Maïwenn, with her incredible gentleness, introduced me to the magic of yoga dance — every flow with her was a true moment of deep connection. If you are looking for a suspended moment of inspiration and sharing, dive into their world!
Such a huge thank you to Maïwenn and Alex for this magical retreat in the middle of the snowy peaks. It truly was a luminous, gentle interlude, full of sisterhood. The group's energy was beautiful and touching, with so much kindness and care for one another… And that is thanks to you two: Maïwenn with your softness, your grace, your innate elegance and your soothing presence, with this little being growing in your belly, and Alex with your joie de vivre, your contagious energy, your enthusiasm and your perfectionism. THANK YOU. For me it was also a true rebirth, as I was coming back to yoga after my fracture, and being able to do it in such gentle conditions was a real gift. THANK YOU.
