Stefan Chaïm
Stefan is passionate about all things related to dance, acrobatics, and healing through movement. In 2014, while studying contemporary dance in Toulouse, he discovered Acroyoga at a jam in the park. Drawing from the techniques of his dance background, he guides students from beginner to advanced levels, with a focus on deep bodily understanding, fun, and intricate technique.At the heart of his practice are a few central questions: What does our body want to tell us? How do we communicate with others? How can we heal through movement? What are we capable of (alone and together)?
Stefan will be teaching Acrobatics and share his playful style with you during this retreat.

Eva Junge
Eva is a passionate mover and experienced teacher who weaves together the worlds of circus, acroyoga and natural movement. She is certified in AcroYoga through AcroBhakti and completed her yoga teacher training at Rört — experiences that deepened her understanding of community building, healing, and play as core elements of embodied practice. Her background in circus pedagogy and her education as a Universal Performer at the Circus School in Berlin have taught her the many facets of teaching and training — from creative exploration to progress and performance.
Off the mat, Eva works as an environmental psychologist dedicated to climate justice. Her work often brings together movement and meaning through “artivism” — using acrobatics as a tool for awareness and change. As a core organizer of the Nordic AcroYoga Festival, she creates warm, inclusive spaces where people can connect, grow, and explore together.

Issy Denman
Issy first fell in love with acro whilst studying languages at university in England. Since then she has enjoyed travelling around and deepening and widening her practice as she is inspired by more and more people and movement styles. Currently based in Germany, she is working on improving her juggling, handstand and violin skills, whilst always coming back to her first love of acro.
Issy is excited to be teaching all sorts of things (yoga, acro, thai massage) on this retreat. Her teaching encourages each individual to listen to and be led by their own body, whilst never forgetting to find the fun and laughter in our practice!

Roya Alaei
Roya discovered AcroYoga while traveling through Goa, India, and fell in love with it instantly. Since then, movement, connection, and play have become central parts of her life. After years of traveling, she is now based in Vienna, where she teaches at the AcroYogaVienna Studio. Roya is also a Conscious Connected Breathwork facilitator, passionate about guiding people into deeper presence and connection with themselves through breath and body. With a degree in psychology, she is fascinated by the meeting point of mind, movement and human connection. When she is not upside down, you’ll probably find her dancing or spending time in nature.
