Meet Florence Brewer (Flo), Founder of Refined Flow 

Why start Refined Flow?
I completed my yoga teacher training in Rishikesh, India. During that time I realized more people need to get away with the intention of self care, exploring new cultures, and returning home a better version of themselves.. more refined.  Refined Flow simply stemmed from the need to get away from a hectic lifestyle. I believe it's one thing to go on vacation, yet another to take time out to Refine and Re-find yourself. 

How did you get into yoga & Pilates? 
In 2012, I ruptured my achilles tendon. During recovery I thought yoga would help with my ability to balance. It helped and became a stress reliever from my corporate job. I instantly fell in love with the mixture of strength, balance, and flexibility. It was obvious I'd be a life long practitioner. I am certified in Hatha and Ashtanga yoga styles. Beyond the physicality, I love the healing, the mental escape, and all that comes with the 8 limbs of yoga.

What makes Refined Flow unique? 

I have been an avid solo traveler since 2011, which is why I obtained my 200 hour yoga certification in India. I know traveling internationally can be intimidating, so I help participants every step of the way. We take things a step further by offering personalized attention including pre-retreat communication, assistance with travel arrangements, and are here to address your individual needs. 

 

Certified instructors, 4 - and 5-star accommodations, airport transportation, and hot breakfast are standard with each retreat.

​

Plus our retreats are fun! I truly believe my calling is to take individuals around the globe giving them exposure to the ancient practice of yoga, opportunities to explore new destinations, and refine themselves along the way. Our vision and mission to enhance the health and well-being of individuals through curated travel experiences that promote physical, mental, and emotional wellness

Who does Refined Flow cater to? 
When the idea of Refined Flow was conceived, there was not diversity in the yoga retreat industry. Therefore my retreats cater to all regardless of skills level, age, race, sexual orientation, or stage in life.  Each retreat is uniquely crafted to create a safe space for all.
