1.) Do I need aerial or yoga experience to join?
We proudly exclude no one from our retreats as that does not match our ethos, but we do strongly believe that your experience with Bliss.Flo.Sol. will be maximized if you have attended a few aerial and/or yoga classes in your past. Both our teachers are talented multi-taskers who regularly teach classes to multiple levels at once, offering alternative poses and combos based on the skills of everyone present in class. You are also, of course, not obligated to attend every yoga or aerial class offered! But a strong passion for aerial, yoga, fitness, or at least an open mind to learning, will help make this week truly unforgettable for you. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you need additional guidance on this!
2.) Is the schedule planned and packed? Or will I have lots of free time?
A balanced blend of both! Our retreats are unique in that they offer aerial AND yoga classes EVERY day, in addition we offer multiple excursions into the nature around us. We have also allotted time for spa services, group meals, and social meet ups to network, make friends, or just chat with like minded travelers. Additionally, we have specifically scheduled in moments of quiet and solitude for mental grounding, moments of freedom to explore the locale on your own and enjoy the benefits of our boutique jungle hotel, and time to simply relax and recover. Finally, our schedule is clearly laid out, but it is you who has the final say of what you do and do not attend. This is your time; and we not only support you in that but will be your biggest cheerleaders in the process.
3.) How much should I budget for what’s not included?
Nobody knows your spending habits like you do, but its possible to spend very little extra if you’re looking to save, or live it up if you’re looking to splurge. We cover breakfast and a two dinners. As for the rest you get to decide whether to try out some authentic street cart food that will surprise you with how good it is for only about $5 a meal…or explore the different restaurants and expect to pay about $20-30 per meal. Keep in mind our resort has a restaurant on site if you don’t feel like trekking outside. Several of our excursions are fully covered in your fee, but you may want to add on a spa service, some cocktails (for reference a beer here costs only $2-3!!), and of course you’ll want to budget for your flight there and back.
4.) Do you offer refunds?
We need a $500 non refundable deposit to hold your space but other than that, refunds are possible up until 30 days prior. We know that sometimes….life happens and will work to fill your space and be as flexible as possible. However, the hotel and services require full non refundable payment 30 days in advance.
5.) Do you offer help with booking flights or extending stays?
We offer both! We’ve been monitoring and researching flights for months and have picked several options from many major cities that we can send your way as suggestions. The are based on price, flight time, and getting you there at a time which allows us to guarantee you free transfer to and from the airport to the resort! Additionally, if you’d like to book a longer stay after the conclusion of our retreat, reach out personally so we can hook you up with our connections we’ve made in the area.
6.) Is there an age limit?
We do need our participants to be over 18, but other than that, nothing should stop anyone from indulging in this retreat!
7.) Anything else I should know?
We’re extremely approachable, just reach out, we are here to help.
