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 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.
Special Guests
Luigi & Francesca
from Italy
Francesca and Luigi are certified AcroYoga teachers from sunny Sicily, Italy, and driven by their passion for practicing and sharing AcroYoga around the world. Luigi is a Thai and Chinese massage (tuinà) therapist and taiji Chuan teacher with more than 10 years of experience and a Meditation teacher.
Francesca comes from the world of dance and is a psychologist who loves the special way in which AcroYoga connects people and enables them to support each other with an open mind, work on personal strengths and boundaries, and experiment with “being in the present moment”.
In their practice, they love to create fluid and elegant flows but also enjoy the energy of speed and tempo through whips, whip-pops, and Icarian games. They focus their training and teaching on small details and love to break down complicated moves with ease. They believe that practicing AcroYoga is a lucky opportunity to grow as human beings, to express one’s potential and to contribute to creating a community focused on sharing, supporting and enjoying life.
