Matteo Bagaz
Matteo is a certified AcroYoga Montreal Teacher. Since his early childhood he was spending as much time as possible in nature, exploring different types of movement, especially in the mountains. He discovers AcroYoga during an highline meeting and it was love at the first sight. Since that moment in 2015 he keeps on travelling through Europe (Italy and Spain in particular). Matteo loves to share food, tell (bad) jokes and introduce some of the funniest games alive. His main focus are the adaptability of the practice to the different types of body shapes and the safety for all the practioners.
Big smiles, funny moments and creativity inputs are the recipe of his workshops, all conducted in english with a little bit of italian accent and, of course, a lot of gestures 🙂 “Peace, love and balance”.
