When was the last time you surprised yourself? When there was an “Oh, wow, moment“, a feeling of joy and ease? These moments stay, we remember them easily like our first moment riding a bike freely. In this week of Movement and Play, we’ll explore our physical possibilities practicing with curiosity and ease, leaning into joyful calm and meditation. Moments we remember when thinking back are moments of good laughter — of joy and ease.

Blending yoga, movement flow, and acrobatics, the retreat offers a playground to develop body and mind as one integrated whole.
We’ll start every day with a preparatory and refreshing yoga-inspired movement practice, followed by a guided meditation. After nourishing food and a good rest, we will have a handstand or movement workshop. The main intention is to shake, stretch, strengthen, and overall nourish the body through movement, and then wind down into the more relaxing field of Yin and meditation.

Through physical games, acrobatic tasks, and movement flow, we establish a present and curious self that can practice letting go of unnecessary tensions — mentally and physically — and eventually make space for honest self-observation.

It’s truly for all levels. The term “acrobatic” doesn’t mean you need any prior knowledge. In the acrobatic section, we will challenge our beliefs around what we can or cannot do. We will test, try, fail, and for sure laugh together.
