Home › Retreats › Mountain Wellness Escape with Aerial Yoga in Guatemala's Highlands
Europe · 5 days · From USD 785
This extraordinary five-day aerial yoga holiday invites you to soar above Guatemala's majestic mountains while grounding yourself in the ancient practices of Hatha yoga and meditation. Set against the stunning backdrop of Milpas Altas, where volcanic peaks pierce the horizon and nature's tranquility envelops you, this retreat has been thoughtfully designed to help you listen to your body's needs and honour its limitations in a supportive, nurturing environment.
The daily practice schedule features two to three asana-based classes, expertly blending the playful weightlessness of aerial yoga with the grounding, mindful presence cultivated through traditional Hatha yoga. Through supported inversions in the aerial silks, you'll experience gentle spinal decompression and back relief while enhancing your balance and core connection. The Hatha sessions slow you down, helping you sink into each pose and develop a deeper awareness of breath and body.
Beyond the mat, afternoons unfold at a leisurely pace, offering space for creative expression through seasonal activities like traditional Easter egg painting and the construction of a beautiful labyrinth. The retreat culminates in a truly special cultural experience: joining local artisans to create one of the famous Semana Santa carpets—intricate, colourful works of art made from natural materials that line Antigua's cobblestone streets during Holy Week processions.
The retreat philosophy centres on personalisation and genuine care. Your instructor, Dani, is renowned for adapting each session to individual needs and interests, ensuring that whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced practitioner, you'll find challenge and growth at your own pace. Previous guests consistently praise the intimate, authentic atmosphere and the way the experience transforms into something uniquely their own.
Accommodation in private cabanas provides a peaceful sanctuary for rest and reflection, while three daily meals of locally-sourced, lovingly-prepared vegetarian cuisine nourish your body with wholesome, delicious food. The property's gardens, yoga shala, and mountain vistas create the ideal setting to unplug from technology and immerse yourself in the beauty of your surroundings.
This is more than a yoga retreat—it's an invitation to come home to yourself, to discover new dimensions of your practice, and to carry the peace and strength you cultivate here back into your everyday life.
