Aerial Silks, Rope & Hammock Retreat

Enjoy a second summer in the sunny Algarve training in the new House of Honey aerial studio just 1 km outside of Lagos.
Immerse yourself in a unique aerial workshop that will introduce new techniques and fresh movement to your practice. Whether you only have some experience or you’re an advanced aerialist, we can accommodate all skill levels.

Participants can choose to focus on silks, rope or hammock and are also welcome to try a new apparatus! The classes will focus on building strength, flexibility, and body awareness. We will also incorporate elements of artistic creation aimed at building a performance, such as how to infuse your aerials with dance, creating choreography to music and using stage skills to enliven your sequence. For those who want to, there is an option to participate in the final show on the last day.

An optional handstand and acro yoga class is also included in the program. When you’re not training, enjoy some downtime in our on-site salt pool, jacuzzi and ice bath overlooking the sea Or book yourself in for a massage, a surf lesson, a horseback ride or a photoshoot in our stunning seaside resort in an oasis of green. Come fly with us and experience the gorgeous Algarvian coastline with your fellow aerialists!
