This is our autumn weekend-long residential retreat, a wonderful movement experience that combines holiday and AcroYoga training.

About this Retreat
Throughout the weekend, we’ll offer a rich variety of workshops designed to help you explore the practice of AcroYogaand its related disciplines, such as inversions, contact games, partner and solo movement, and Thai Massage. Our experienced teaching team will hold a safe, supportive, and playful environment where you can learn, connect, and grow at your own pace.
This is an all-levels retreat, welcoming both complete beginners and experienced AcroYogis who wish to deepen or refresh their practice. We’ll run two levels simultaneously (beginner and intermediate), giving you the freedom to choose what fits your experience and energy. Although we offer many sessions, participation in all workshops is entirely optional. We encourage you to listen to your body, rest when needed, and follow your own rhythm throughout the weekend.
We also have a sauna available for you to use, and a pretty cold river nearby for early morning dips.

Loli
Lorena is an AcroYoga teacher, linguist, and life design coach who brings curiosity, playfulness, and depth to everything she does.

Gabe
Gabriel is an Acrobatics & Yoga instructor, as well as Massage Therapist with more than 18 years of experience. Gabe is well known for his unique and precise way of teaching. His passion for bodywork gives him the opportunity to welcome and embrace people from all walks of life and encourage them to find freedom through movement and touch.
teacher
Slava
Curious and playful by nature, Slava has spent years exploring movement through many forms — from Capoeira to Shaolin arts and beyond. Each discipline taught him something unique about the body’s wisdom and resilience. These experiences led him to create the Movement Flow System, a practice that makes movement accessible, creative, and empowering for everyone. His approach invites people to rediscover freedom in their bodies and confidence in how they move through life.
teacher
David
David’s devotion for didactics, alongside his love for partner acrobatics and acroyoga, makes him a passionate teacher who loves to create, deconstruct and transmit many styles of acro and movement. He has a special place in his heart for complex flows, whip-pops, handstands, basing icarian, and flying hand to hand. He also cherishes a deep connection to nature, as well as a love for adventure activities like climbing, hiking and biking.
teacher
Mélanie
Mélanie has been with us almost from the start and brings gentleness and confidence to our classes. She is an incredibly skilled acrobat and probably the most outdoorsy person we know – constantly climbing and slacklining somewhere in the mountains. While she mainly teaches AcroYoga with us, you might get lucky and also catch some Slackline inspiration from her.
teacher
Sheilina
Sheilina is captivated by the world of movement and human interaction, be it defying gravity through acrobatics, climbing adventures, or training handstands. In AcroYoga, she loves the playful challenges, group dynamics and deciphering the fine details that lead to the success of a new move. She finds joy in being upside down and exploring various forms of movement and teach them to others with a joyful smile.
Accommodation
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. 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 is equipped with table tennis, mini-foot and other games. We will have our meals in the big dining hall (see photo gallery below). For the whole retreat we will have the entire house to ourselves.
Private rooms can be booked on via the registration form. Please note that these are 4-bed rooms with bunk beds, reserved exclusively for you and your friend/partner. In other words, two people will share a 4-bed dorm privately. Double beds are not available.
Food
Three times a day, we’ll enjoy nourishing vegetarian meals (with vegan options) prepared with care and creativity by our local chef — a true mountain farmer who puts her heart into everything she makes. She milks her own cows and goats to produce the fresh butter, milk, and mountain cheese we get to enjoy, while most of the vegetables, herbs, and edible flowers come straight from her garden. The eggs are from her own chickens, and she cooks almost entirely with regional, seasonal ingredients. Last year, the chili sin carne featured plant-based “meat” made from malt barley left over from the local Appenzeller Quöllfrisch brewery. We thought this was a perfect example of her ingenuity and love for local flavours.
Meals are served buffet-style, always with a variety of sauces, dressings, and seasonings for salads, so you can tailor each plate as you like. Every meal is a celebration of freshness, sustainability, and the rich simplicity of life in the Alps. We love it!
(If you wish, you may also purchase some of Vroni’s homemade mountain cheese on the last day of the retreat!)
Sample 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 and the sauna. After a full day of movement we will round off the day by enjoying some relaxing Thai Massage or playing games with our new friends.
Please note that the actual schedule may might change depending on the weather or the needs of the group.
Activities
In addition to the workshops and to make sure you have some beautiful memories to take home with you, we will have an outdoor photoshoot on one of the afternoons (if weather permits). Feel free to bring your most colorful yoga pants!
If you are one of the brave ones who love to prep their body for winter, we usually have a small group of people who jump in the river for some cold exposure first thing in the morning, but of course it is completely optional. We also have a private sauna for the retreat, so get ready to relax your body after a long day of training.
There is also always to option to go for a walk in the forest or through the surrounding hills during.
The shortest route by public transport is via Gossau to Urnäsch and then take the bus 791 to Rossfall. From there, it’s a 5min walk to the house.
Please consider carpooling with other participants. It’s a good way to get to know your fellow Mountain Movers 😉 We will offer help with carpooling by providing a sign-up sheet where you can coordinate with each other.
