“Buff & Flo is setting a new standard for yoga and wellness retreats. Jess and Gabrielle have developed amazing programs that take you further than just a yoga retreat and toward an unforgettable cultural experience.”
“Buff and Flo’s Costa Rica yoga retreat was an amazing life experience. The resort was beautiful, close to town and on the beach. Yoga every morning on a picturesque shala surrounded by the natural beauty of a Costa Rican rain forest. All excursions and events were organized, all you had to do is be on time! The peaceful reflection after practice was life changing. Meditation on the beach with toucans flying by and an occasional blue morpho was transforming.”
“The Costa Rica retreat was a great balance of yoga, activities and adventure. The resort Agua Claras, was incredible with very attentive staff that cared deeply about our experience. Everyone truly cared about the small details (different treats waiting for us at our rooms every evening and a tour around the resort looking for the animals that call it home). We were able to practice yoga in a peaceful, open shala that allowed us to feel like we were practicing in the middle of the rainforest. The retreat was filled with optional excursions that gave us the opportunity to immerse ourselves in nature and learn about the local culture (kayaking, hiking, boat trip, cocktail making class, tour of cacao plantation). One of my favorite excursions was a kayaking trip that brought us up close to sloths. When we had free time we were also a short walk to the local town where there were many places to shop and eat.”
“Costa Rica with Buff & Flo 2022 – What a beautiful country to visit with an amazing group. I decided to take this trip solo, while I knew the people from Buff & Flo who were going, I did not bring a friend or family member with me. I really wanted to experience solo travel and it could not have gone better with this group of ladies. Everything was planned, organized, and executed perfectly by Jessica and Gabrielle. The location they chose for the yoga retreat was 5 stars while still being immersed in the culture of Costa Rica. I enjoyed not having to be the one in charge of planning or organization and really was able to go with the flow. It was great to have the time to reflect in our journals after yoga class, especially with the prompts provided by the instructors. The excursions were just the right amount between downtime at the resort and leaving to explore. I could not recommend Buff & Flo yoga retreats enough for the experience they gave me.”
“The Italy retreat was an extraordinary experience that allowed us to explore the Almalfi Coast and soak in the culture. We stayed at San Francesco Resort, a converted monastery, that had a passionate staff dedicated to providing an extraordinary experience. One evening we learned how to make homemade pasta from the chef who was making our incredible meals for the week. It was truly a unique and memorable experience. I really enjoyed how the retreat gave us the opportunity to experience multiple cities along the coast, including Agropoli, Capri, Positano, Sorrento and more!
I can’t wait to for the next retreat! Jess and Gabrielle can not miss!”
“Coastal Italy yoga retreat - I was sold! Buf and Flo welcomed us with a warm embrace and an AMAZING experience. From location, to once-in-a-lifetime excursions, and beginning each day setting our intentions in yoga practice. Jess and Gabrielle found a gem of a resort, offering a true cultural experience without the overwhelming tourist bustle. Best of all, it was an introduction to a community unlike any other as part of their studio!”
