Special Guest
Slava Goloubov
As a young boy growing up in Russia, he was always drawn to movement and physical activity. He found joy in exploring his own body’s capabilities and pushing himself to new limits. As he grew older, this curiosity only intensified, leading him to travel the world in search of new challenges and experiences. From learning Capoeira from Brazilian masters to studying with Shaolin monks in China, he’s been fortunate enough to work with some of the most talented and skilled individuals in the world of movement. Each experience has taught him valuable lessons about the human body and its incredible potential.
His passion for movement has led him to create the Movement Flow System, which combines the best practices from various disciplines to make physical education accessible to everyone. He believes that movement is a fundamental aspect of life, and his goal is to help others discover their own unique abilities and potential.

Location
We are staying at a wonderful historic holiday home which is located at the foot of the Alpstein and is surrounded by a private forest and a big meadow. Overlooking green hills, we will be training in a spacious training hall which is completely covered with tatami mats. In addition to the training facilities and nature, the house offers a chill-out room with table tennis, mini-foot and other games. For the whole retreat we will have the house to ourselves.
Schedule
The retreat will be from Thursday 2pm to Sunday 1pm. In the mornings we dive deep into AcroYoga, learning exciting tricks, flows and inversions. The afternoons are more about playtime, group activities and enjoying nature (or the sauna). After a full day of movement we will round off the day by enjoying some relaxing Thai Massage.

Activities
We will have a photographer on site who will capture your most glorious moments. This will be most likely during one of the afternoons where we go for a hike or spend time at the nearby lake or river. We also hired a private sauna for the retreat, so get ready to relax your body after a long day of training.
Food
Three times a day we will have delicious vegan & vegetarian meals to recharge your batteries. There will be plenty of vegetables, plant-based protein like nuts and beans and lovingly prepared desserts to round off the menu. We will have our own local chefs from the area cooking for us.
