The Journal

Yoga tips, well-being & behind the scenes

Welcome to The Journal by Flowaway Yoga Retreats, the blog of Alexandra and Maïwenn. Here you'll find our yoga tips for beginners and seasoned practitioners, a behind-the-scenes look at our yoga retreats in France and abroad, and our well-being guides to enrich your everyday practice.

Where to start

The most useful articles before you book

The Flowaway Yoga Retreats Journal brings together two families of articles: the practical guides, which answer the questions people ask before booking, and the behind the scenes stories, which tell what each retreat was really like: the practices, the meals, the outings and the evenings.

How much does a yoga retreat cost?

There is no standard price. It depends on the standing of the venue, the length of the stay, the number of teachers and everything the package includes: accommodation, meals, classes and activities. Our guide breaks down each item.

What is a Flowaway retreat like?

Entirely private venues, a practice that is never quite the same twice, a generous table, themed evenings and music. Alexandra and Maïwenn explain what makes the Yogi Festive Retreats what they are.
