About The Retreat

Relax, unwind and be inspired! Bring your sense of adventure and your spirit of play. For a full week, enjoy delicious, healthy meals, cleansing ocean air, time to relax and time to connect. There will be daily offerings in Bhakti Vinyasa Yoga, AcroYoga, Thai Massage, Aerial Silks, Slacklining, WERQ cardio dance & Budokon; combining yoga, calisthenics, mixed martial arts and animal locomotion. Together, we help empower one another to step out of our comfort zones, try something new, and find what makes you light up. Our goal is to help incorporate PLAY and joyful movement practices back into your daily lives. You will have opportunities to indulge in massage, wellness consultations, a boat trip to Angthong National Marine park, waterfall and elephant excursions, adventures to explore and much more. No experience necessary to join our Wellness Playground Tribe, just a bright smile and an open heart!

Abby Jacob

I am Abby Jacob and I love yoga. I love to practice and I love to teach. This practice has been a path of self actualization, ultimately uniting me to source love. Yoga has allowed me to see myself through a higher perspective and a clear lens. Before yoga I went about my days operating from my unconscious mind and emotions. As I showed up, practiced, sweated, cried, inverted and chanted the light began to shine, true illumination came forth. What was once self limiting beliefs is now self love. What was once struggle is now ease. Thank you yoga, I am forever grateful and transformed. I challenge my students to their edge while holding a safe space for their exploration. Join me in the journey of self discovery and mastery.

Rori

Rori’s call to movement began at the age of four years old when she began dancing. She is a classically trained ballerina who, as she grew, moved into competitive dance including modern, lyrical, tap, jazz, and hip hop genres. As an adult she rediscovered her love of movement and performance through a very different medium, CIRCUS! From there she assembled additional forms of flow arts into her repertoire including fire dancing, yoga, stilting, and aerial artistry. She has been teaching others to love movement for over 20 years! She recently relocated from Reno, Nevada to Parkville, Missouri where she continues to teach multiple formats including Budokon Yoga and Calisthenics, WERQ Dance Cardio Fitness, Barre Above, Xtreme Hip Hop Step, and various forms of strength and conditioning. Rori is a Certified Health Education Specialist, Ayurvedic Health Counselor, and Cancer Exercise Specialist.
