אדריאן וקטי מורים באקרו

Adrian & Kathy

Kathy – Hi, I'm Kathy, I love to move and share my experience! I started my path in gymnastics when I was 5 years old and there I acquired the basic skills that serve me today. What I like about Acro is the connection to the ground in combination with the lightness and the exercises that are done together and that’s exactly where I put my focus in my classes; standing, the Icarian method, and pops. In my classes I invite the students to explore the feeling through movement, less with words. My motto: life is pyrotechnics, don't try too hard!

Adrian - started his movement journey as a Muay Thai coach in 2005. Over the years, martial arts became integrated with dance and movement and led him to excel in acrobalancing. Adrian's class combines movements from different worlds and he’s main goal is to create an integrated and challenging practice that is not only focused on succeeding at the exercise but really BEING the excercise. What Adrian most loves about acro is Icarian, H2H and of course, flying.

Jon Rea

Jonathan Rea, comes from California, USA. He always had a passion for bodywork, art and everything that allows the body to express itself. After 6 years of lifting weights, he discovered a love for yoga that developed into a greater love for acro. His combined 5 years of yoga, acro and standing acrobatics taught him a whole new world of giving through expression. Building the community and connections he made through his practice made him passionate about self-growth, as well as teaching others about the very passion he now thrives on, acro. He trained under many certified yoga and acro instructors, including Lax (of Seattle Acro) who was one of John's most influential teachers.

Matt & Christina

Matt and Christina met through a mutual love of acrobatics while training in San Diego where they fell in love and then got married. Christina has been a gymnast and acrobat her entire life and Matt has 10 years of experience as a base. Together they love to teach and train high level acrobatics. They take pride in their detailed instruction and safe progressions to help students learn safely and have a great time!

Dasha Kalinikina

דאשה קליניקינה חוזרת אלינו פעם נוספת! דאשה התאמנה באקרו מאז 2010. הרקע שלה הוא מורה ליוגה ועיסוי תאילנדי. היא עשתה הכשרת מורים ב-Acro Revolution ב-2019 ו-Partner Acrobatics ב-2021. היא התחילה כאחת הראשונות ברוסיה כאשר עדיין לא הייתה קהילת אקרו. לאחרונה היא מטיילת, לומדת ומלמדת אקרו במקומות שונים בעולם. דאשה היא אחת הבסיסות הטובות והיצירתיות בעולם!

Lux Seattle-acro

Lax is one of the world's most famous acrobats. He was born in Israel (speaks a little Hebrew) and grew up in the United States. He is one of the creators of best known exercises and transitions. Have you heard of Ninja Star? Spider-Roll? Monkey-Prog? Nantuck? These are just a small part of Lax's inventions. His way of teaching is detailed and clear and backed by tremendous experience over the years. He likes to teach acro on an L-base basis and enjoys working with any audience, regardless of the level of the students.

  • ~ What to bring ~

    You don't have to bring anything from home except comfortable clothes, swimwear and light clothing for the evening and the night. Improvise.

  • ~ Connectivity conditions ~

  • ~ Acro ~

    During the retreat there will be a range of classes for all levels. The intention is to have a morning class and an evening class every day. The number of participants is limited, so there will be a lot of attention to each participant and we will be able to give challenges at different levels as needed and desired by the practitioners. Head teachers from around the world will share their knowledge and expertise. A full list of teachers will be published shortly. We'll leave enough time to enjoy the beach, the freedom, exercise independently and rest. A detailed schedule of who teaches, what and when will be published below!

  • ~ Sea, nature and weather ~

    April is a great month weather-wise. The air is dry and crisp and there is a nice breeze most of the time. The huts have AC. Water temp. is perfect for swimming and snorkeling. Do bring any goggles and other snorkeling equipment you have - it is well worth putting your head underwater. The scenery is breathtaking and one of the best attractions in the world - hands down!
