Portugal · 5 days · From EUR 1250 (indicative)
Christelle Iagnemma trained as a dance teacher and movement educator in Munich before founding the AeroYoga Luxembourg school in 2016. She now lives in Figueira da Foz, where she set up Aerial Gratitude. She teaches in four languages and keeps groups small enough to correct people individually — the stated range is 2 to 16 people, and the Osmose retreat is limited to seven women.
The aerial work is the centre of the week. In the hammock the body is supported, which makes gentle inversions possible and takes pressure off the back. Sessions are pitched at all levels; the fabric carries you and Christelle adjusts each posture to the person in it. Alongside that there is meditation and conscious breathing, held between the lagoon, the salt pans and the ocean.
Where you practise depends on the retreat. The area around Figueira da Foz gives you the Atlantic, the Lagoa da Vela, the beaches of Buarcos, Cabedelo and Murtinheira, the Serra da Boa Viagem and the Salinas de Lavos. The nearest airport is Porto.
What's included varies by programme and is set out on each retreat's own schedule. For Osmose, that means accommodation, meals and a transfer from Porto airport. A 30% deposit secures a place.
Two retreats are listed for 2027. Osmose · Retiro da Lua Nova runs 6–10 May with Bettina of Odonata Eveil, five days, a maximum of seven women, from 1250 €. Rhythm in Your Soul runs 8–12 July with DJ Aka Ghost (Gustavo Morales), also five days. A private four-day retreat for a group of friends can be arranged year-round at a price worked out for the group.
