Aerial Yoga and Mountain Views: A Private 4-Day Wellness Retreat in Guatemala

The retreat takes place at Casa Blanca, a private house in Santa Lucía Milpas Altas, a small village on a mountain slope above Antigua, Guatemala. The house has views of volcanoes and mountains, a terrace, living room, dining area, and a deck. The setting is rural and peaceful, with nearby cafes and a short drive to Antigua for those who want to explore. The retreat is private, meaning you'll have the full attention of your hosts and instructor, Dani, and her partner Jorge.

A typical day starts with an early yoga class, followed by a healthy breakfast with tea or coffee. The late morning is dedicated to aerial yoga, the main event, where you'll work on balance, core strength, and gentle inversions that relieve back tension. After lunch (not included), the afternoon is free. You can book a treatment at the local spa, sunbathe on the terrace, visit a nearby cafe, or take an Uber into Antigua for sightseeing and shopping. At 4 pm, there's another aerial yoga session to round out the day.

The retreat is fully customizable. You can add workshops with Dani, a private class, an extra day, a coffee roastery tour, or a volcano hike (a highlight for many guests). The hosts are happy to help arrange any extras. The program runs Monday to Friday, but you can adjust it to suit your needs. The retreat ends on your last day after a final yoga session and breakfast.

Dani is a 500-hour certified yoga teacher (ERYT500) with additional certifications in aerial yoga and aerial arts. She's been teaching since 2010 and studied yoga in India and the UK. Jorge, her partner, is a Guatemalan communications professional who manages the retreat's website and social media, coordinates excursions, and offers local knowledge and photography. Together, they make the retreat feel welcoming and personal.
