Paul gives workshops in a wide range of acrobatic figures in L basing as well in S basing. With his inspiring way of teaching it will be challenging for all participants. By using the right techniques you will learn to do the tricks with ease and using of less energy and power. Paul loves to stimulate the participants with his infinite energy and enthusiasm so that you can push your limits with confidence. In Paul's work balance and the right body tension are important themes rather than pure strength.

For the more difficult tricks he will often work with the group on pre-exercises to learn the basics of movements and positions first before you do the real thing. And most importantly you are going to have a lot of fun in his workshops.

BIOGRAPHY

Paul has practised acrobatics since 1986 and has studied with the Como Brothers and the Osmani’s. Both are key historical figures in the circus world and have performed all over the world. He currently trains as a flyer twice a week with Wybren Wouda, the base of The Flying Methusalems, at the Codarts Circus School in Rotterdam and once a week as a base in Amsterdam. For the past 30 years he has run acrobatic courses in Rotterdam, Holland. He is a well known teacher at a lot of acrobatic festivals all over Europe and beyond. He specialized himself in icarian games, hand to hand tricks and corbets and cascades. Workshops with Paul are guaranteed to be fun as you discover and explore more partner tricks, transitions & sequences.

When they started practicing together, Pri and Jenny suddenly felt a strong connection and a shared vision focused on the investigation of new and fluid dynamic movements. They love all kinds of whipping movements, and especially its momentum to create fluidity. They are always looking for new combinations and new synergetic movements. They are Whips, Whip-pops, and Icarians fanatics. Since she was a child, Jennifer has been in love with movement. She's explored all types of activities such as dancing, climbing, yoga, and so on, before settling her heart on acro. Pri has more than 7 years of experience in acro and since the beginning, he focused on dynamic transitions.  All this time he has organized intensive and advanced acroyoga workshops, as well as taken part in retreats, festivals, and meetings. His latest workshops are part of a successful tour that is taking him to the main European cities to share his passion and knowledge on fluid dynamic transitions.

TOBIAS BADER has an enormous and detailed knowledge about Partneracrobatics/ Acrobalance tricks and training technique as well as "Rock'n Roll tricks" & Dance Acro. He has a yearlong teaching background  and knows how to break down a trick and how to provide the necessary cues for both base and flyer. Apart from that he's a singer-songwriter and has a super nice and sweet personality and you definitely don't want to miss the opportunity to train a whole week-end with him and a fun group of acrobats! ;)

Let’s move!

The passion for exercise and physical challenges has been connecting us since we first met. Coming from the Capoeira, we are used to challenge our body and use it playfully. We love sharing the joy and art of movement with others and live it together. For quite some time slacklining and climbing have been important elements of our sporty live and they taught us a lot about strength and balance. And right now our passion is partner acrobatics. Since the discovery of this sport five years ago, we love the combination of communication, togetherness, overcoming boundaries, moving in unison and embarking on new challenges. Since we teach at various levels, we are sure about one thing: You can (almost :)) learn everything. We want to pick you up at your level, respond to you and take you a step further than you though you would be able to. We spend most of our time doing "standing acro". High above the ground, we feel at home.

However, we are convinced that there is a lot of flexibility and work on different levels, which gives our body a foundation and makes it easier for us to progress.

Nevertheless, it always means first of all: exercise, never give up and have fun. Let’s move!

We look forward to inspire you with our enthusiasm. We want to play, work and laugh together with you!

Sara gives regular handstand classes in Berlin and tailors her classes to beginners to intermediate - advanced practitioners. With a background in gymnastics she found her way through yoga to Acroyoga and partner acrobatics and is today studying movement therapy in the areas of Pilates and Yoga. She uses the knowledge about the muscle system to create a sustainable and injury-free training and to find everybody’s individual balance point.

Her focus in classes and workshops are on playfulness in a safe environment, exploring the upside-down world, strengthening and partner / group work. Next to focusing on the handstand line itself she loves to teach dynamic tricks including entrances and exits, leg variations, twists, etc. 

Next to her teaching she is co-leading the yoga wear label Pitaya Yoga.

Kasper Moritz Nielsen and Marie-therese Pallis are an acroyoga couple with a passion for technical details and exploring the limits of stability. Their approach to teaching uses both carefully planned progressions as well as games and challenges, to break down the material to manageable sizes. Through presenting core concepts, they invite the students to develop their own understanding through reflection. They love to give the acro a scent of leading and following through nonverbal communication or playing around with imposed limitations to discover challenging balances and transitions.

Catch them if you don’t only want a new washingmachine, but also want to know the principals of how it works, and how to use those, to make your acro run smoother in general.

Traveler, in her soul and in her genes, she has sailed the oceans for 18 years, and then crossed continents in search of her passion-s-. She discovered acroyoga, which was a great source of inspiration and changes in her life. She got certified in Yoga, (Hatha and Yin), then Acroyoga. She discovered Tahi Massage, which she got a certification after an intensive course, and a little later, she discovered Wùo Taï, which again, blew her mind and had a huge impact on her choices and her lifestyle. She teaches those disciplines with passion, and deep dedication to the practice.

Als Philosophie Studentin, ist es mir wichtig ein Gleichgewicht von Körper und Seele zu erzeugen, denn schon Platon rät:

"Weder die Seele ohne
den Körper noch den Körper ohne
die Seele in Bewegung zu setzen,
damit beide, [...] zum Gleichgewicht
und einem gesunden Zustande gelangen."
(Timaios 88b)

Diese ausgleichende Bewegung erlebe ich im AcroYoga, in der Gemeinschaft und beim Spielen mit den gemeinsamen Bewegungen. Dort erlebe ich, dass Körper und Seele eine Einheit bilden.

Neben dem AcroYoga unterrichte ich bodyART® Kurse. Dieses Training hat eine ungeahnte Tiefe in meine Bewegungen gebracht und mir zu einem neuen Körper- und Selbstbewusstsein verholfen. Aus der bodyART Praxis ist meine Leidenschaft für Bewegung entsprungen, die ich nun mit meinen Kursteilnehmern teile.

Für das Time Out AcroYoga Festival in meiner alten Heimat Gemünd werde ich meine Leidenschaft für fließende Bewegung im Workshop "Flow Work" mit euch teilen. Dort erwartet euch ein taffes Mobilitytraining und wir tauchen ein, in fließende Bewegungen am Boden, die euch auf die fließenden Bewegungen in der Luft vorbereiten sollen.
