Yoga and Calisthenics Retreat
Krabi, Thailand
Rooted, Move, Flow
2nd week 3rd-9th December 2026
The Venue
This retreat is about reconnecting with your body through yoga, calisthenics, and creative movement. We’ll explore these practices not just as physical training, but as ways to play, adapt, and build awareness—kind of like how we used to move as kids. Expect bodyweight training that challenges your strength, balance, coordination, and mobility in a fun and functional way. These sessions are designed to support your everyday movement and help you feel stronger and more confident in your body. We’ll also dive into Thailand’s national martial art, Muay Thai, with a special session that brings power, rhythm, and energy into the mix—because you can’t come to Thailand without giving it a try!
Yoga and calisthenics
It’s time to reconnect with our bodies. While we practice physical yoga poses, we also use asanas and movements as tools to explore, adapt, learn, and grow. During the movement workshops, we will engage in playful exercises across all planes of motion, just like we did when we were younger.
Through simple exercises using only our body weight, we will challenge our balance, coordination, mobility, and strength. These practices will ultimately enhance our everyday movements, making them stronger and more confident. Whether it’s getting up, squatting to pick something up, running, hanging, or jumping, these movements help reduce the risk of injury and improve overall quality of life.
Why we choose Krabi
Krabi is one of the most breathtaking provinces in all of Thailand. What makes it so unique are the limestone cliff landscapes, combined with crystal-clear turquoise water, lush green jungle, and the warm hospitality of local people. It’s part of what makes Thailand the “Land of Smiles”—a place that feels both rare and magical

Tipping Policy: Tipping is not mandatory in Thailand, but it is appreciated for good service. At restaurants, it’s common to leave small change or round up the bill. For hotels, leaving 20-50 THB for porters or housekeeping is a kind gesture. For tour guides or drivers, a tip of around 100-200 THB per day is appropriate for excellent service.
