(FLEX)PERIMENT
Creative Immersion & 30h YTT with Rebecca and Magda
20th-27th March 2027 in Sri Lanka
Go deep, understand your body better, and let the island hold the rest – on this 7-day intensive flexibility retreat at Flowground, a minimalist villa nestled between paddy fields on Sri Lanka's south coast. Intelligent technique, applied anatomy and playful creativity – with an open-air shala, infinity pool and plant-based food to support the work.
This is an immersive, transformative training designed to change the way you understand the body, movement, and your role - both as a practitioner and a teacher.
This training serves your training hours, supporting both your personal development and professional pathway. Each day is thoughtfully structured to help you explore and deepen your flexibility practice, combining intelligent technique with playful creativity. We will spend around 5 hours on the mat every day, diving into both practice and theory in a way that is practical, embodied, and immediately applicable.
What you’ll experience
→ Body assessment
Learn how to truly see the body. Develop an analytical and functional approach to understanding movement patterns and how to work with them
→ Progressions & regressions
Understand how to intelligently adapt poses for different bodies and levels. No guessing just clear, structured pathways.
→ Assists (hands-on & verbal)
Refine the way you support others in practice - safely, effectively, and with respect for individual boundaries.
→ Applied anatomy
Go beyond theory. Learn anatomy in a way that directly translates into movement, sensation, and teaching.
→ Thinking like a teacher / practitioner
Make better decisions on the mat. Learn how to read the body instead of copying shapes.
→ Working with props
Use props as tools for awareness, access, and deeper understanding not just support.
→ Playfulness & creativity
Explore movement beyond rigidity. Bring lightness, curiosity, and flow into your practice and sequencing.
→ Transitions
Because what happens between the poses often matters more than the poses themselves.
This training is for you if you:
-
want to go beyond surface-level practice
-
are ready to truly understand the body, not just replicate shapes
-
want to expand both your personal practice and teaching skills
-
are open to intensity, depth, and a shift in perspective
If you feel stuck in your practice or teaching this is where you break patterns, rebuild foundations, and move forward with clarity and intention.

Our Teaching Approach
Our approach to flexibility is creative, intelligent, and rooted in years of experience across multiple movement disciplines. Blending the best of yoga, contortion, dance, and therapeutic practices, we offer a training style that’s both expansive and sustainable. We place a strong emphasis on understanding the mechanics and anatomy behind each pose, helping you break movements down into targeted areas so you can identify where your body needs support or attention. This gives you the tools to work more efficiently and safely in your own practice.
Once the foundations are clear, we shift into creative transitions and playful sequencing, encouraging you to explore movement in new and innovative ways. We’re both highly experienced in hands-on assists and adjustments, and we love integrating a wide range of props in unconventional and creative ways to support, challenge, or inspire your movement.
This retreat is open to anyone with a passion for movement–yoga practitioners and teachers, aerialists, dancers, pole artists, or simply curious movers who want to explore flexibility in a deeper, smarter way. There’s no one-size-fits-all formula here. Instead, you’ll leave with a practice that’s intelligent, personalized, and rooted in both strength and creativity.
About us
Rebecca was introduced to yoga through physical theatre and performance. As a performer she was initially attracted to the physical side of yoga and how it could be used as a tool for creative expression. After her 200h YTT in hatha followed by an additional 200 hours in ashtanga, she discovered a passion for creativity in different styles of movement disciplines. This interest was channelled into further trainings, including 200 hours of Yogic Arts with Duncan Wong (a fusion of martial arts, Thai massage and yoga), 50 hours Tripsichore Yoga Choreography, contortion, callisthenics, and circus arts. She has taught workshops, retreats and teacher trainings in over 20 different countries across four continents. This includes her signature training ‘The Art of Flex-ability’ which combines drills, assists, and transitions inspired by yoga, contortion, dance and Thai massage.
Rebecca’s intention as a teacher is to help students discover presence through play, teaching sequences that are fun, innovative, creative and smart. She believes in a strong focus on developing the strength to safely support flexibility, while using movement as a tool for mindfulness, communication, creativity and self-expression.
Magda combines elements of yoga, stretching, and contortion to create practices that are both enjoyable and, while still rooted in traditional yogic principles. Her classes are designed to enhance mobility and flexibility through a thoughtful blend of movement, breathwork, and meditative elements.
Known for her creative use of props, Magda brings a playful yet intentional approach to practice. She also places a strong emphasis on mindset, helping students build positive beliefs around movement and explore the full potential of their bodies.
Magda is a 500 RYT Yoga Alliance certified teacher specializing in flexibility and increasing end ranges of motion. She has led workshops in over a dozen of the largest cities in Poland and also teaches internationally. Her four online courses used by hundreds of practitioners, mostly fellow teachers, and she is a guest teacher in two 200-hour teacher training programs.
