Acroyoga Teacher Training

15 – 26 May 2023

Join us for our acroyoga teacher training in Berlin, Germany!

Our course is designed for people who want to share their love of acroyoga and partner acrobatics with their friends, family, and wider community. You will be able to not only train intensively and refine your acro skills, but also develop a wide range of other skills that will enable you to lead classes and workshops.

What You’ll Learn

Over the course of 10 days (80 hours), you will gain knowledge in how to train and teach acrobatics safely and intelligently, hone your communication and leadership skills, and learn ways to cultivate and facilitate a community.

How to PRACTICE Acro

Plenty of time will be dedicated to refining skills in L-basing and standing partner acrobatics. Topics of focus include washing machines, whips, pops, foot-to-hand, and hand-to-hand, as well as recovery and therapeutic techniques to make your practice more sustainable. Learn progressions and how to train intelligently.

How to TEACH Acro

Learn how to organize regular classes and special workshops and lead students with games and clear communication. We will not only go over effective teaching methods, exercises and tools, we will give you a chance to create your own. We want to encourage our students to develop their own teaching style and think outside the box when creating courses for their communities.

How to LEAD

As a teacher, you will need to be creative and adaptable to whatever the situation. Gain the tools required to meet the needs and challenges of any group. Upgrade your leadership and communications skills (which will serve you in all areas of life, not just teaching), with a focus on community-oriented thinking.

For who? For YOU!

This training is focused on those who want to become acroyoga teachers or who want to understand the practice from a pedagogical aspect. Participants will deepen their knowledge, taking both their understanding and practice to the next level.

You do not need to have previous teaching experience or already be “good” at acroyoga to join. Likewise, even if you are already an “advanced” practitioner or have taught before, this training will help to develop and refine your skills, so that you can better share your knowledge with others.

Your Instructors

Patrick & Johanna fell in love with acroyoga in Beijing. After discovering they shared a passion (and a subway line), they decided to form Line 2 Acrobatics with the goal of building up a community where people could connect, create and push their physical limits in a playful, supportive environment. They completed their teacher training in 2019 and began teaching regular classes and workshops in Beijing. Soon after, they moved to Berlin, where they quickly resumed teaching. Now they run two studios and are constantly trying to think up new ways to spread acro joy.
