Finding Flow in the Forest Retreat

When

23 Sept – 27 Sept

Where

Kodaikanal

Curated with heart by

Yahnaikaduh

What happens when fight meets play? When movement becomes conversation and connection? Join us for 5 days in the forest and by the river, exploring flow through jiu jitsu, yoga, animal movement, and playful movement practices. Jiu jitsu, the “gentle art,” invites two bodies into a shared conversation through play fighting, listening, and non-verbal communication. Through flow rolling and playful movement games, we explore how to respond, adapt, and move together rather than trying to win. Alongside the practice, there is space for yoga, breathwork, meditation, forest walks, river swims, and time to slow down and reconnect with the living world around us. Guided by Devesh & Izrael Thakur, whose shared practice brings together jiu jitsu, yoga, breathwork, and embodied awareness. Devesh has over 11 years of experience in jiu jitsu as a practitioner, teacher, and international competitor, while Izrael works at the intersection of jiu jitsu and yoga, supporting embodiment, mobility, and inner safety. Open to all fitness levels and all levels of jiu jitsu experience, with safety, consent, and playfulness at the heart of the practice.
