About this Retreat
During this weekend we will offer plenty of workshops, giving you the opportunity to discover the practice of AcroYoga and related disciplines like Handstands, Contact Games, Partner Exercises and Thai Massage. Our experienced teachers team is here to create a safe environment where playful and sustainable learning can flourish.
This is an all levels retreat, suitable for total beginners as well as AcroYogis who recently started or want to refresh their skills. We will be running two levels (beginner & intermediate) simultaneously which will give you the freedom to choose what you would like to learn.
Location
We have selected a wonderful historic holiday home which is located at the foot of the Alpstein and is surrounded by a private forest and a huge 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.
Special Guests
Hannah & Alexis
Hannah and Alexis met traveling the world, going from acro festival to acro festival. At the moment, they’re based in Austria where they launched Acroyoga Vienna and teach weekly classes, workshops and hold retreats. They’re both yoga teachers and love combining the dynamic solar and calming lunar aspects of acroyoga in their practice and teachings. Get ready for playful flows, slacro and fun pops and icarians!

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, wheere you can 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.
