Events Calendar

Yes, we gonna wash you and your acro clothes with countless inspiring washing machines brought to you by a teacher team that gonna make you feel dizzy – spin for the win!

What better place to enherit this knowledge then within the walls of the Acro Church and it’s surrounding garden and its little forest?!

Our goal is to give you the tools to get creative by yourself, get flowy on another level and combine things that the world hasn’t seen before. We had the impression washing machines got a bit out of sight in recent years with booming whips and icarians. This is a reminder that there are things to learn that can not be substituted with anything – be a good acro addict and follow your instinct!

Our international Teacher team:

• Manas & Mira from Sweden/Germany
• Rita & Matteo from Italy
• Kat & Kiljan from Belgium/Germany

Washing Machine Madness is not just a workshop weekend, it’s a full, wholesome experience.
Alongside our daily acro yoga workshops, we’ll enjoy:

✨ Guided morning mobility / meditation sessions
✨ Acro jams in the church hall
✨ Delicious homemade vegan meals
✨ Photoshoot in the church
✨ Bonfire hangout
✨ Optional quiet time in the rectory’s cozy corners

 

Feel free to join everything or choose your own flow, this weekend is about joy, movement, and community.

Kat and Kiljan, Rita and Matteo, Manas and Mira

Manas

the acro nerd 🤓 Known for his hundreds of acts and twisty, cool transitions. How does he remember them all? Honestly… we have no idea 😅 If you ever want to ask about a tricky transition, he’s definitely the person to go to!n As a certified teacher with The Acro Way, he has shared his knowledge at various international Acro conventions and conducts regular workshops in Stockholm. His expertise lies in Acro flow, Slackro, Icarians, and Whips, focusing on teaching funky and goofy as well as elegant and spinny flows.

Mira

Her joy is contagious, and she loves sharing her passion for Acro Yoga. Based in Germany, she discovered Acro as the perfect mix of movement, play, and connection. For her, it’s more than just strength and flexibility—it’s about trust, growth, and finding balance in every way.

Rita

Rita has been practicing competitive sports since age 9, beginning with figure skating, where she first discovered the magic of flow. Five years ago, she fell in love with acroyoga, captivated by its grace, movement, and sense of floating. For Rita, acroyoga’s true potential lies in connecting people and entering the “state of flow,” where awareness and action unite.

She is a certified Yoga and Meditation teacher (500-hour TTC), as well as a Pilates and Olit instructor, with over 10 years of teaching experience. She also leads AcroYoga workshops across Italy and Spain.

Matteo

Matteo discovered acroyoga after years of practicing yoga, rediscovering the joy of play, connection, and community. With 18 years of basketball experience, he developed strong coordination, explosiveness, reactivity, and discipline—skills he now brings into his acroyoga practice.

Acrofusion-certified and specializing in L-basing, Matteo loves flows, whippops, whiccarian, and icarian. For him, the only true competition is with one’s own fears and limitations, and his goal is to share acroyoga with as many people as possible through a training approach that encourages growth, fun, and expand this beautiful community.

Kat

She is a passionate acrobat from Belgium that has a hard time choosing between handstands, icarians, standing acro and whip-pops! She started gymnastics at the age of 6 in a small town club ‘De Greves’ in Hamme.

Following her passion, she obtained her Masters degree in Sports and Movement Sciences as well as her teaching degree in 2016 at the University of Leuven. Afterwards she rolled into the circus-world and has been traveling- teaching – performing around Europe.

Kiljan

Coming from athletics, mountain biking and rock climbing I’m exclusively into teaching, performing and playing acro all over the world in the past years.

Achieving new skills let us all feel empowered – I really love it to be part of the moment in which people surprise themselves accomplishing a new skill that seemed to be out of reach.
