Workshops & Events

Berlin’s best acro instructors are back this autumn for another acro bonanza weekend. To showcase all the acro on offer in our fair city, there will be 18+ workshops plus plenty of open jam time to meet and mingle. Each round of workshops will offer something for beginners to advanced, so there will always be something for everyone!

Herz über Kopf – raus aus dem Kopf, rein in den Körper. In dem Workshop lernen wir alle Grundlagen des Handstands. Wir beginnen mit Aufwärmübungen für den ganzen Körper, vor allem aber für Schultern und Handgelenke. Durch Körperbewusstseinsübungen lernen wir einzelne Körperteile wie die Hüfte, die Brust oder die Füße gezielt anzusteuern. Dieses Körperbewusstsein hilft uns dabei auch über Kopf unser Gleichgewicht halten zu können. Außerdem kräftigen wir gezielt die Schultern und die Körpermitte (Core). Ein weiterer wichtiger Bestandteil ist die Mobilität der Schultern und der Beine. Gerade Letzteres hilft uns später dabei, fortgeschrittenere Handstandpositionen oder -aufgänge zu lernen.

Der Workshop richtet sich sowohl an alle, die noch keine Erfahrungen mitbringen als auch an Menschen mit ersten Vorerfahrungen, die tiefer in das Thema einsteigen möchten. Alle Geschlechter, Körperformen und Alter willkommen!

The idea of this intermediate-advanced workshop is to refine your technique to get higher and safer Icarians, as well as to challenge yourself with funky and spicy Icarians. Depending on the number of participants, we will make a quick review of the fundamentals to clean our tempos and basic throws. And we will think about how both partners can help to reach your maximum height and accuracy. We will also look for height to help with the funkiest Icarians we can imagine.

The group size is intentionally kept to a small number to give the attention of a private lesson in a workshop-style session.

Somatic dialogue is a gentle technique that helps you connect with yourself through non-performance-driven improvisation. It’s a practice you can do alone or with a partner, where interacting through movement opens up new possibilities and allows you to surprise yourself by relating to another.

Most of us carry a constant monologue in our minds, often without realizing how tiring it is for our bodies. In this workshop, we’ll embody these inner monologues, allowing them to be fully seen, and explore how to transform them into a dialogue.

Prepare to connect deeply — with the floor, with yourself, and with others. We will use hands-on techniques to build dialogue. Please wear comfortable clothes, warm socks, and come as simply as possible, avoiding jewelry or tight pants that might distract you. No dance experience is required. Everybody is welcome.

This workshop is for movers who already have some experience with handstands. If you can hold a handstand against the wall for 10 seconds, you’re ready to join! Our goal is to provide challenging and inspiring material while ensuring everyone receives personal guidance. We’ll work on technique, control, and confidence — plus some playful exploration and conditioning!

Get ready to amp up your flexibility game at our two-day contortion workshop – it’s not your average stretch sesh! We’re talking bridges, splits, walkovers, and chest stands – the whole contortion package. But here’s the kicker: It’s not just about the moves, it’s about transforming your body into a flexible powerhouse. Imagine being able to incorporate these mind-blowing contortion skills into your floor and aerial routines – talk about leveling up!

Safety is our top priority, so we’ll personally guide you through every bend and twist, ensuring you’re not just flexible but doing it smartly and using strength. This workshop is more than tricks; it’s a journey into flexibility, fun, and total body empowerment. Get ready to own those contortion moves like never before – it’s going to be an absolute blast!

Join us for five hours of exploration to be fully present with yourself and others. This gentle and playful lab invites curiosity and exploration at your own pace, making room for all aspects of yourself. Once fully present, you can encounter others more deeply, noticing new aspects, feelings, and sensations. We’ll journey into the space between bodies, bringing curiosity to what arises before the first touch. Notice what it feels like to be close yet not attached, sensing anticipation, warmth, or tenderness. Let’s explore what it means to approach one another with mindfulness. After the workshop, enjoy cozy community time with soup.

5€ discount for Urban Sports Club members upon successful check-in. Registration required directly with Gal. Come as you are, but please be on time!

Learn the art of balancing upside-down on someone! Hand-to-hand not only looks awesome, it’s also much more accessible than you might think. This two-day workshop will cover techniques for both basing and flying through drills, drills and more drills, plus exercises to strengthen the wrist, core and shoulders, and methods for entering and falling out safely.

While a “decent” H2H will take time to develop, we aim to give you a solid foundation and the proper tools for your own practice. Those with more experience will get get a chance to refine their H2H to make it more efficient and reliable, as well as practice different entries and exits.

No partner needed! We will practice in groups of 3-4 people. Come for one or both days!

Forget doing yoga on a mat…do yoga on a friend! Join us for an afternoon of acroyoga – learn to lift others up and be lifted! Acroyoga combines the mindfulness of yoga with the power of acrobatics, connecting people in a playful way. By moving together through poses to create beautiful flows, we learn how to build trust, form connections, and reach new heights with each other. It also promotes body awareness, balance, and strength – a truly challenging workout that you can enjoy with friends

This workshop will cover the FUNdamentals of L-basing acroyoga to prepare you to take on more advanced poses and flows. Learn techniques for the three main roles in acroyoga (base, flyer and spotter), how to train safely on your own, some not-your-everyday-basic poses, and partner-assisted warm-ups and cool-downs for a well-round practice!

Best suited for first-timers and those who may have some experience but would like a more technical overview. Come alone or with a partner and make new friends!

We are beyond thrilled to bring Sainaa, founder of the London School of Hand Balance, back to Berlin for the second (and last!) time this year. A renowned coach in the hand balancing scene, Sainaa’s reputation precedes him, and if you’re just discovering his remarkable expertise, this workshop is your golden opportunity to receive professional guidance on your handstand journey.
