Progressive skill development will allow us to create a strong foundation and refine your practice and teachings.

We will support you with various tools to explore your unique teaching style, your voice and authenticity as a teacher in a safe, fun & mindful way. 

After 14 days with us you will feel a great difference in holding space for others and a richer understanding of the wide spectrum of the Acro practice.

Pre - requisties

We’re so excited to have you join our TT and with that said we have high standards because we plan to level up your private acro practice and your teaching practice. This TT is taught at an intermediate level.  You must meet a certain level of proficiency in your acro practice before you’re accepted in our TT. To assure that each student is at a similar experience level and can get the maximum out of the intensive training both acro skill wise and to be able to receive all the teaching tools!

Students must have been practicing acro for at least six months or a year before the start of the teacher training! 

We ask for pre-requisites to ensure you have a foundation that you can grow from.

The pre-requisites are meant to show us where you are currently in your practice. You do not need to have mastered all of the skills perfectly, but should have some successful attempts at each one of them. 

Have a passion & enthusiasm to share AcroYoga with others as a practitioner and a teacher. Develop your unique way of doing so with the support of this training. Connected to the Acro spirit of trust, support & playfulness!

Jacob got into gymnastics when he was sixteen and later a friend introduced him to partner acrobatics.  By 2012 he had practically dedicated his life to movement arts.  He loved how all acrobatics moves are like puzzles which you work out with your friends.  In 2014 he became a certified Acro Revolution teacher.  Since then he has taught classes, workshops, festivals, you name it, all over the world.
