Intro to AcroYoga

A playful invitation to explore the Yoga of Acro, a physical practice that blends elements of yoga, acrobatics, and Thai massage, brought to our studio by Stefano and Jolien this summer.

You’re invited to explore Yoga of Acro — a playful and heart-centered style of AcroYoga that brings the principles of Yoga into the art of connection and collaboration.

Blending elements of Yoga, Acrobatics, and Thai Massage, this practice invites you to awaken your inner child and rediscover the joy of movement, trust, and play.

This 2-hour beginner-friendly workshop focuses on the foundations of the practice. You’ll learn basic postures, transitions, and how synchronized breath can make your movements feel light, fluid, and energizing. No partner is needed, we’ll rotate and work with different partners throughout the session.

Together, we’ll explore how to co-create with others while staying grounded in your own needs, boundaries, and values. Modifications will be offered to suit different bodies and proportions, ensuring a safe and inclusive experience for all.
Our focus will be on mindful connection — with your breath, your body, and your partner — and above all, we’ll have fun!

Stefano and Jolien, founders of Yoga of Acro, are in Amsterdam for the summer — don’t miss this special chance to learn from their deep experience and dedication to this magical practice. At the heart of their teaching is a beautiful reminder: Flexibility isn’t just physical, it’s the willingness to adapt, open up, and flow with the ever-changing rhythm of life.

Stefano Jolien

He is a passionate Acroyoga teacher with certifications in Partner Acrobatics, Acroyoga Montreal and Acroyoga International.

He also has a deep path in Ashtanga Yoga with more than 11 years of personal practice and many workshops/intensives with teachers all over the world. His studies as a psychologist, his past as a professional tennis player and his own growth experience with Yoga and Acroyoga leads him to understand movement as a symbol of inner transformation.

His love for these practices brings the awareness that we should always have fun, while achieving goals and challenging ourselves.

JOLIEN HEETKAMP     

She found yoga during her studies of Human Movement Sciences. It was not love on first mat but after finding a teacher that resonated, she has not stopped practicing. From a Yoga Teacher training in 2016 to Partner Acrobatics Teacher Training in 2018 and AcroYoga Montreal Teacher Training in 2021, plus many workshops and festivals, Jolien will always be a student and keen to learn more.

For Jolien, teaching AcroYoga is like breathing, both something instinctive and essential for her life. What she likes most is opening people up to the infinite possibilities that the human body has and making them happy by creating something together and building community.
