Why Go on an Aerial Yoga Retreat?
Reset Your Body
Daily aerial yoga, aerial hoop, and movement classes help you build strength, increase mobility, release tension, and reconnect with your body in a supportive environment.
Clear Your Mind
Step away from daily routines and distractions so you can slow down, breathe deeply, and return home feeling refreshed, grounded, and inspired.
Connect With Others
Retreats create space for meaningful connection, shared experiences, new friendships, and the kind of community that naturally forms when people gather with intention.
Location
Our retreat will take place at Oasi Sorgente, nestled in the rolling hills of Umbria, Italy, just an hour and a half from Rome. Surrounded by olive trees, vineyards, forests, and charming hilltop towns, this peaceful sanctuary offers a unique blend of natural beauty and intentional living.
The property features organic gardens, locally sourced food, and thoughtfully designed spaces that encourage movement, relaxation, and connection. Whether you’re enjoying a quiet moment overlooking the countryside or joining a group activity, the environment supports both inspiration and restoration.
