点评:I just got back from the Victorious Vertical retreat at Casa Chango with Sweet Retreats and I'm already plotting my return. I've been doing silks as a hobby for three years, and this was the first vacation where I could truly switch my brain off. It felt like adult summer camp. Everything was planned for you, so all I had to think about was eating, training, hydrating, and sleeping, with plenty of fun mixed in.
The coaching was the standout. Kerri met me exactly where I was, and I left with a much deeper understanding of silks theory. I have a deeper sense of how fundamental wraps work, how they sequence into other skills, and where my body is in the fabric. The classes challenged me just enough that I came home eager to keep working on everything I learned.
Both the staff and the other aerialists were incredible, and the environment felt so psychologically safe that I tried things I never would have dreamed of attempting in front of anyone, let alone strangers.
The food deserves its own review. A few favorites of mine were: Fresh juices that changed daily, homemade granola and yogurt, tlayudas, and the midday sweet treat that became my pick-me-up to power through the last class of the day. And don't skip the photo shoots! Stu was wonderful and so kind, gave great feedback throughout, and I now have lifelong memories from them.
If you're an aerialist looking for a traincation in paradise, this is it. I'll be back!
翻译:我刚刚和Sweet Retreats一起从Casa Chango举办的Victorious Vertical疗养营归来,现在已经在计划着下次再去了。我从事丝带体操这项爱好已经三年了,而这次是我第一次真正能够让大脑彻底放空的假期。那种感觉就像是一场成年人的夏令营。所有行程都安排妥当,我只需要专心吃饭、训练、补充水分以及睡觉,期间还穿插着许多有趣的娱乐活动。
其中最出色的便是教练指导。Kerri能够精准地把握我的水平,给予恰到好处的指导。通过这次课程,我对丝带技巧有了更为深刻的理解。我更清楚地知道了各种缠绕动作的原理、它们是如何与其他技巧相衔接的,以及自己的身体在丝带结构中处于什么位置。这些课程带来的挑战恰到好处,让我回家后仍满怀热情地继续练习所学的一切。
这里的教练和其他空中表演者都极其出色,整个环境也让人感到非常安心与安全,以至于我敢于尝试一些原本绝不会在任何人面前、更别说陌生人面前去做的动作。这些食物绝对值得单独写一篇评测。我最喜欢的几样食物是:每天更换的新鲜果汁、自制麦片与酸奶、特拉尤达饼,还有中午时分的甜点——它成了我完成当天最后一节课的动力源泉。千万别错过拍照环节哦!Stu人超好且亲切友善,全程给出了很多宝贵的建议;而这些照片则成了我一生难忘的回忆。
如果你是一名空中杂技演员,正在寻找一个宛如天堂般的训练胜地,这里绝对是你的不二之选。我一定会再来的!
