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

Gabi Acro
Encouraging each student to feel safe, included and ready to explore playfulness and trust! We are stronger together, empowered and held by a community of supportive people.

Gabriella is a certified AcroYoga International teacher and she has studied acrobatics and circus arts at the Swedish Circus school, Cirkus Cirkor. She teaches Thai-Yoga-Massage, inviting students into a Lunar dance of healing touch. She has studied Thai-Yoga-Massage with the Sunshine Network in Thailand. In 2009 she co-founded the AcroYoga Stockholm community with Tobias Strollo and she teaches and travels worldwide.

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.
