The accommodation provided by FlowMove includes all the basic and rustic facilities needed for a comfortable and minimalistic stay at the FlowMove well-being retreat. They create a sustainable environment in the middle of the nature reserve where they have their wells, an Aga cooker, an open fireplace, and they generate energy from solar panels. The goal of this retreat is to create a community setting for like-minded people who want to experience a simple lifestyle as humans used to live a long time ago.
It’s an open house with a dormitory for 6 - 8 people, chill out space on both floors, 2 bathrooms, dining area, studio area, and a terrace with a garden. The property is surrounded by woods. The wooded landscape covers a vast area and invites long walks where you can pick the forest's fruits and mushrooms from the woods. Mobile Internet access works well, the reception is very good. However, FlowMove recommends not using it to have a full experience of isolation from the hectic lifestyle you leave behind.
Program
This wellbeing and aerial retreat is open to everyone with all levels of experience. You will practice twice a day for 90 minutes each session with a variety of wellbeing practices such as: yoga, Pilates, Aerial yoga, aerial Pilates and aerial silks, hoop, trapeze, rope, and bungee. Between the practices together you will eat meals and explore the trails in the stunning mountains/forest of the landmark Barania Gora of Beskid Slaski in southern Poland. It’s the vast land of a beautiful, immense forest. Flowmove Retreat Centre is immersed in this natural reserve, far away from civilisation.
Outcome
The classes will be indoors and outdoors with a wonderful view of the Polish Mountains in the aerial-friendly Flowmove Retreat Centre. Different wellbeing mats and aerial techniques will be delivered during this retreat. You’ll gain the strength and flexibility, and overcome your fears while balancing your nervous system and calming down your mind. The physical benefit of the practice is significant, but even more so, the mental and spiritual aspect of both mat and aerial practice is extraordinary.
There are immense benefits associated with the inversions and suspensions of aerial and antigravity practice, and it helps make your mat practice deeply therapeutic and spiritual.

Retreat location
The retreat is located in breathtaking Silesian Beskids, near Ram Mountain – Barania Gora (1,200 m / 4,003 feet) – the highest mountain in the Polish part of Upper Silesia. It takes a 1.5-hour trek from the location of the retreat to reach the peak of Ram Mountain. This is a calm and grounding place, in the arms of Mother Nature, away from the hustle and bustle. The perfect place to immerse yourself. Based at the FlowMove Wellbeing Intimate Space, they are offering a lovely aerial / yoga space with a terrace and mountain view, as well as good standard basic facilities and staff.
There are several trails to reach Barania Gora from and to different locations in the Silesian Beskids, such as Vistula, Skrzyczne, Stozek Wielki, and also the Czech and Slovak Republics.
Barania Góra is also known as the emblematic mountain of the Vistula (Wisła, just like the homonym mountain resort at its base), where Poland’s largest river, flowing over 1,048 km via Cracow and Warszaw to the Baltic Sea, takes its source.
Barania Góra is also a natural reserve that extends across most of the western slope, in the perimeter formed by the rivers Malinka and Black Vistula. Many indigenous plants and trees grow in the fragile environment, which resembles a primeval forest. The route that visits the summit via the Black Vistula, the Przysłop hut, and returning via the White Vistula is an educational trail with informative panels set all along the way, informing the visitor about the specificities of the ecosystem.
