The Flow Team together with Lifestyle Network’s Summer Soul invaded the shores of Boracay last April 18-21 for 4 days of Surf, Yoga and Samba plus more! We had participants flying in from San Francisco, Singapore, Thailand, and an Aussie expat with our Manila crew.
Each participant received a pair of Havaianas flip flops to be used at the FLOW retreat! Isn’t that grand?

For the very first time, the FLOW girls teamed up with Paolo
Soler of Philippine Surfing Academy (PSA) for a surf session at the wave pool
of Crowne Regency in Station 2. The surf experience at the wave pool is
entirely new because you get perfect waves every single time which is appropriate
for beginners to be able to train the body for surf without having to wait for
actual waves.

Monica Manzano-FLOW’s yoga teacher, guided exhausted participants into a therapeutic Yin Yoga class at Discovery Shores beach front. Monica stressed the importance of rest in order to be fully active. The main aim and definition of yoga is balance, after all.

Spreading the Green Smoothie Revolution to the people of Boracay! Here’s what we served below: a concoction of local greens with Moringana, (raw but ripe) saba and ripe mangoes (the best in the world!) using a high powered blender by Breville!
