Flō is a retreat venue rather than a single fixed programme. The center hosts yoga retreats, meditation retreats, fitness and dance workshops, and strength-focused weeks. Visiting teachers run some of these, and the center runs its own. The exact schedule depends on which retreat you join, but the setting and facilities stay the same.
A typical day starts early. There's a sunrise hike through the surrounding forest or breathwork in the shala before breakfast. Late morning and afternoon are for the main sessions: yoga, mobility drills or strength work in the open-air gym. There's always time to cool off in the cold plunge or the natural river pools on the grounds.
What sets Flō apart from other jungle yoga centers is the fitness setup. Alongside the yoga shala there's a proper open-air gym, so strength training sits next to yoga rather than being an afterthought. The cold plunges and waterfalls also mean recovery happens on site, not on an excursion.
The family runs the place themselves, and that shapes the feel of a stay. Guests eat together and get to know the hosts. The tagline 'arrive a stranger, leave as family' is about how small and social the place is, not about a packaged experience.
The buildings are simple and use local materials. The rooms are airy and look out over the jungle, and the indoor-outdoor studios open onto the forest. Uvita sits next to Marino Ballena National Park, known for its whale-tail-shaped sandbar and seasonal humpback whale sightings. Beaches, surf breaks and waterfalls are a short drive away.
