Angelina Rodau
Yoga is an integral part of her life. It makes her happy when she can help other people to change their body, mind and soul for the better.
The goal is to motivate her students to live YOGA on and off the mat so that they can reconnect more intensively with themselves and their bodies, get to know themselves better, connect with their inner being, start chasing their wildest dreams, and take care of the most important thing in their life – themselves.
I would like to accompany you on this wonderful path of self-discovery.

Who is this retreat for?
This retreat is open to anyone who wishes to deepen their yoga practice by expanding the possibilities of your physical movement through aerial exploration, and to bring a mindful approach into your thoughts and actions.
Yoga is sanskrit for “union,” so this retreat offering is meant to provide alignment and resonance between your mind, body, and spirit, and to give you support for incorporating these practices into your daily life.
The beautiful and secluded location was intentionally selected for you to unplug, decompress, and reconnect to yourself.
Beginners are encouraged, all levels are welcome!
What is Aerial Yoga?
Aerial yoga was created in inspiration from pilates, dance, and acrobatics. It combines traditional asanas (poses) with a silk hammock which allows students to perform postures that might not be accessible on the mat. Aerial yoga can be beneficial for students who spend a long time sitting, or who have back pain, because it has a decompressing effect on the body. It is a fun way to explore and challenge yourself as you (literally) elevate your practice!
Beginnersfriendly!
