CANGGU, BALI
Known as the Island of the Gods, Bali is a majestic volcanic island steeped in local culture and tradition, renowned for its tropical jungles, beautiful beaches, incredible surf and in modern years for its yoga.
It is an island that you won’t want to leave because of its beauty, culture and positive energy.
Located on the coast of Bali with incredible beaches, ideal surf spots and some of Bali’s best nightlife, Canggu is the modern and happening travel destination of Bali.
It is famous for its gym and fitness scene, chic restaurants, and popular nightlife, with plenty of surfers, digital nomads and backpackers calling it home.
CLASSES AND WORKSHOPS
Throughout the retreat you will have more than 22 hours of taught classes and workshops to join.
We will start each day of the retreat with a morning movement class. These will mostly be gentle yoga, stretching, and preparing the body for the rest of the day, there will also be at least one inversions class to help you improve your handstands and inversions for your pole/floor practice.
There will be a combination of Floorwork intensive workshops and Poledance workshops with Abbey Eff in the afternoons as well as Acro Yoga Workshops sprinkled in! In the floorwork sessions you will explore a variety of movment. We will explore sensual movement, dynamic tricks, legwork, and frssetyle. You are free to wear shoes or not in these classes.
What is acro yoga? Acro yoga is partner yoga. It is amazing for learning how to communicate and work with others. I find with pole, it can be a very independent journey. I love that acro involves more than one person and the connection it brings is so fulfilling.
In the pole sessions you will learn sequences and flows with skills and drills to level up your pole practice wherever you are at. They will be all about staying low & playing around the base. The workshops will delve into sensual movement, finding your flow & a variety of what you may feel as therapeutic movement exercises.
In addition, there will be a few other movement workshops to balance out the intense practices, these will be more restorative and relaxing for the body, such as thai yoga massage, yin yoga and some partner stretching exercises, these classes will be fun, connective and easy for your body to relax and recover in.
EXCURSIONS AND ACTIVITIES
Canggu has some world-renowned beach clubs, and party locations with epic sunset spots, Instagram-able photo opportunities, ecstatic dance shenanigans and much more.
We will be taking several excursions as a group to explore and enjoy all that Canggu has to offer.
Whilst most evenings will be free for you to explore and decide for your own time, a few nights we will prepare some fun evening activities for the group such as group games, open mic/karaoke, or heading out to the local nightlife
All evening activities will of course be optional, but you likely won’t want to miss out, as these will be the perfect opportunities to get to know more about the social side of Canggu, and also deepen your connection and conversations with your fellow retreat family.

YOUR RETREAT HOSTS
ABBEY
Abbey began her pole dance journey in 2011 and since then she has taught, performed, competed, and won all around the US and Australia. Abbey has always been interested in floor-based movement & tricks ever since she started competing in 2015.
She loved that she could incorporate gymnastic-inspired movements to move to and from poles and has continued to explore flips & kips in heels. Sensuality through movement has also become a valued part of her training. The therapeutic, freeing feeling that embodies our minds through this kind of movement is such a positive thing we as dancers & movers can incorporate more into our practice.
She can’t wait to explore everything floorwork both on and off the pole with you all!
Abbey has spent quite a bit of time exploring Bali, doing yoga, and going on adventures! It has become one of her favorite places in the world. She’s done a lot of traveling & hopes to inspire others to do the same while also teaching everyone some awesome things.
She can’t wait to show you the best of Bali & to also teach you some dope stuff!
CASPIAN + LAURA
Caspian and Laura are both yoga teachers living in Bali that teach many different styles of yoga from handstands to Acroyoga to Thai Yoga Massage and much more. They teach at some of the top studios in Bali and have been running yoga retreats, trainings and much more for several years.
They both have a martial arts background as well, with black and brown belts in different disciplines.
Their approach in teaching yoga is to share both the physical benefits of the practices, but also the other benefits they can bring, such as communication, trust, calm, focus, mindfulness, and much more.
As residents in Bali for the past 5 years, Caspian and Laura are both familiar with all of the hottest tourist spots, and also the lesser-known gems of Bali, and are looking forward to sharing their knowledge and tips with you to give you the best possible retreat experience!
