Sweet Retreats Mexico

Experiencia fantástica: It was an absolute incredible experience! I feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to train and stay with sweet retreats. The staff and hosts were knowledgeable and treated everyone like longtime friends. The food was unbelievably delicious and authentic, with so much care taken for anyone with special dietary needs. I highly recommend anyone stay at Sweet Retreats! You will not be disappointed.

Experiencia fantástica: 100/10 would definitely recommend! Expert training, beautiful gym, super accommodating staff, delicious food and amazing pool! I can’t overstate how excellent the training was with Kerri (owner) and Chloe (guest teacher) during my aerial residency. We learned good warm and cool down routines, conditioning/injury prevention off and across different apparatuses, flexibility conditioning, dance and performance skills. I learned the best moves for my body and it’s strengths and weaknesses that will help me get better at aerial and avoid getting hurt. Outside of the gym we built a good community over healthy meals, while chopping coconuts and hanging out in the jacuzzi. At the end of residency we also got the opportunity to build a new act under the guidance of Kerri and Chloe and then perform it in front of an audience of supportive locals. Also shout out to Eli and Marcel for helping us with everything from finding extra pillows to doctor appointments to surfing fun facts. The kitchen staff was also really nice and they accommodate for every dietary restriction you have. OH also thanks to Stuart for taking professional aerial pictures and videos we got to take with us! Overall, it was an incredible experience I hope to have again. Thank you Sweet Retreats and thank you Kerri! ❤️❤️❤️

Experiencia fantástica: I had an incredible time participating in a week-long Aerial Retreat with Sweet Retreats Mexico! The entire experience was amazing, from excellent aerial training and teaching, to wonderful meals, and an incredible location. Teachers and staff at the retreat were wonderful, welcoming, and engaging. I felt like I was being invited into a thriving community, not just another customer at a resort. Sweet Retreats is a excellent space to explore and deepen one's aerial skills while getting away from it all. I highly recommend Sweet Retreats and am eager to visit them again soon!

Experiencia fantástica: This was my first-ever aerials retreat and Sweet Retreats made it such a blast! My non-aerialist partner was also able to enjoy himself to the fullest lounging by the pool, hiking to the river, and in the loft area while the rest of us trained for the week. Kerri and Eli are extremely communicative and organized. They make sure you have all the information needed for the week's schedule - to meal times, training times, and outings. They also take food allergies very seriously which I appreciated (even if I forgot to list one of my allergies, sorry!). Everything is so well planned and organized, me and my partner can't wait to come back!

Experiencia fantástica: I don't really know where to start because this experience was life changing for me. TLDR; Everything is awesome, just go, you won't regret it. If I were to break it down to areas I would comment on each as it follows: Program curriculum and instructors: The program is tailored to help you improve your technique by returning to the basics of aerial, understanding the transitions across basic moves gaining awareness of start and end positions to explore safely further movement options and create different paths that can be turned into beautiful performative sequences with the right amount of practice and repetition. It will dig deeper into drills that would help you gain the strength and flexibility to work efficiently with your entire body. All the acrobatics, flexibility, dance and creative classes are designed to help you achieve all around artistry. The instructors will meet you wherever you are at and provide modifications and options as well as detailed advice as to how to unlock movements that may seem impossible. Overall they are an awesome bunch of movement and human mechanics nerds that are excited to share all their knowledge with you in a positive environment and in a compassionate manner. I do not regret attending any of the classes, always saw some sort of improvement even if not physical, my mood was always better after class. Accommodation and facilities: The accommodation is basic but comprehensive, which allows you to feel like you are at home. Quick dips in the swimming pool at lunch time and hot tub at sunset were a must. Everything is in great condition and continuously maintained by the staff. There is a lounge with a large selection of books from different topics that you can borrow for free. The gym has everything you can possibly need for your training and even more. Safety is always front of mind for the instructors and brought up constantly for all students awareness. Food: There is only one day of the week that the kitchen staff takes off and even while they are away, food options are provided to be delivered in place or rides to get your own food outside are offered. In general, I loved not even having to think what to cook, you wake up and brekkie is waiting for you, finish training at lunch time and only have to go to the kitchen to pick and choose from the buffet style lunch whatever you feel like, after the afternoon nap, iced coffee and sweets are waiting in the kitchen, and for dinner, again, just walk to the kitchen, food will be waiting for you. The food is varied, always delicious and always more than enough. Some noteworthy extras: - the staff is super lovely and helpful (all of them, no exceptions) - all the photoshoots are a great experience and an awesome take home gift to yourself, don't write yourself out of it - the wildlife experiences offered are lots of fun - Puerto Escondido is a lovely town - you'll get all the furry love from Mole, Izzy, Tutti and Bigotes - you will make friends, and then you will cry saying your goodbyes because people going to Casa Chango become your family in a way.

Experiencia fantástica: I just completed a 2 month professional residency at sweet retreats and it was a truly wonderful experience! It is an absolutely beautiful place, surrounded by nature with incredible views. Puerto escondido is a fun little town, accessible by taxi or collectivo from the road close to casa chango. The covered gym space is just amazing to train in and is really well equipped. The rooms are cool and comfortable and the facilities are excellent. We were fed delicious, nutritious food every day and felt totally spoilt! Stu and eli even organised ingredients for us to make cocktails and brownies at Christmas (thank you!) The staff are amazing and go out of their way to try to ensure everyone has a wonderful time. I participated in several shows, which was great fun and I feel super inspired going back to my own practice. I have learned a lot from kerrie and lily and I couldn't recommend this place enough! I will miss the post dinner hot tubs, iced coffee afternoons and the fabulous gym. I hope to be back one day!

Experiencia fantástica: If you are reading this let this be your sign. If you are even thinking about it you HAVE to book a retreat here. I could write a book with how amazing this place was but ill keep it short. To start when they say dream location they mean paradise, from the beautiful view down to the river to the jaw dropping backdrop that is the sunset by the pool every night your eyes will thank you every day. And if that's not enough lets talk about the staff that from day one make you feel like you've been a family member for years. From Kerri always being so friendly and able to chat with anyone, to Eli and Manuel making me feel right at home. On top of that the food oh my goodness as a BIG foody I can not even begging to explain how good the food is. Every single meal, every single day, was beyond restaurant level food. Honestly the only thing they are missing out on is selling a cook book with all those amazing recipes haha. But honestly the retreat I went on here in January is something I will remember forever. And will be going back asap. So if you want to have an absolutely amazing time learning and exploring you have to book a trip with Sweet Retreats.

Experiencia fantástica: Sweet retreats was a great experience! I was hesitant to go thinking I would not keep up with an intermediate/advanced group since I only train once a week. Although I was not on the same level as everyone else, my hoop instructor Sophia was able to easily accommodate me at my level and I continued to grow as an aerialist instead of constantly feeling behind. Everyone was welcoming and encouraging and I overall had a great time! Aside from classes, the food, excursions, and overall vibe was amazing! My partner came as a non-aerialist and still was able to have a great time with the staff. Huge shout out to Eli and Marcell for being incredible in all things including tourism tips, local educational conversations, and great friends to chat with during our trip! It made our experience that much more amazing!

Experiencia fantástica: If you’re interested in an anatomy-informed aerial practice, with holistic circus-trained instructors and eco-friendly accommodations in a beautiful place — plus beach/pool time, cute animals, and amazing food — Sweet Retreats is the experience for you! Kerri has created an amazing space for aerialists and I had an incredibly restorative time on my 7-day Lyra Circus Fit Intensive. I especially appreciated the supportive approach Kerri and our instructors took to our group’s various skill levels, from those with only a few months to years of experience. She encouraged us to be gentle with ourselves while offering the opportunity to challenge our bodies and mindsets without any pressure. I left feeling stronger and connected with everyone who attended.

Experiencia fantástica: Sweet retreats was the perfect mix of play, creativity, training and relaxation! I spent one week at the beginner’s aerial retreat and it took my training to the next level. Kerri has the rare ability to make every individual feel special and cared for. She has soooo much knowledge and tailored the experience to my own body’s needs and my skill level. The aerial gym is incredible - overlooking palm trees and a river. Makes for an incredibly serene practice and some great pictures and videos. I got some great photos from the photo shoots that were held. I’m quite shy in front of a camera but Stu the photographer made it a fun experience and directed awesomely. Highlights were the fresh food served each day (delicious!), the pool and hot tub, the fun beach excursions, and the attentive and friendly staff. I also added on a massage which made me feel amazing. This was an incredible experience overall and you won’t regret being in this gorgeous environment. I’m so grateful for the experience.

Experiencia fantástica: Una experiencia maravillosa, espero con emoción la oportunidad de repetir. El lugar es espectacular con hermosas vistas, sonidos de la naturaleza, y un cielo nocturno estrellado e imponente; el ecosistema de abraza profundamente y es inevitable sentirte relajado, ligero, conectado. La energía de las personas es cálida, amorosa; te sientes acogido y acompañando desde el primer momento. El contenido de las clases fue completamente somático y de profundo autoconocimiento. Adquirí una gran cantidad de herramientas y conocimiento para integrar a mi práctica. Practico danza aérea desde hace 14 años, muchos años lo hice de tiempo completo, y esta experiencia resultó sumamente inspiradora.

Experiencia fantástica: ❤️
