Mito FlyingMonkey
Mito is a German movement enthusiast, who loves to geek out on tricks, progression, biomechanics, health and spirituality. But most of the vital stuff in life doesn’t just happen in the mind, so more importantly he loves to play, explore, co-create and dive into the flow of movement. Since 2014 it is also part of his passion to share his insights and experience in Acroyoga, handstands and Thai-Yoga-Massage. He teaches workshops throughout Europe and on festivals around the world. His strengths are precise instructions, on-the-spot cues and subtle progressions.
Leading this event and sharing his passion for movement and touch, Mito intends to facilitate a holistic and transformative experience of embodiment movement, where community can happen in a natural and joyful way.
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”.

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!
