It's been a month since I completed the Acroyoga Prem teacher training course and I'm still excited!

I also participated in the Acroyoga Prem four-day immersion in April and both were incredible experiences.

The energy that Laura and David transmit to their students is simply beautiful, they have found that perfect balance between being very professional, making sure that everyone is learning and practicing the technical part safely while giving us space to have fun, play, laugh and share . (that balance is really what acroyoga is all about!)

Each of the teachers and assistants played such an important role in our training and I am so grateful to all of them for their time.

I am very happy to be part of the Acroyoga Prem family and am excited to see where my acroyoga journey takes me!

The Acroyoga Prem team is endowed with a sensitivity and balance between many aspects of Yoga, acrobatics and humanity in general. That direction, that of feeling more and more with less, may be a great little revolution for our consciences bloated by excess, marketing and always going for more. Thank you for the proposal and I recommend it without any reservations.

Laura and David are super professional and take the training experience to another level. Very accessible and careful with everything they do. Super happy to have started in the world of acroyoga with your school. Both the immersions and the training course generate a super intense and pleasant group energy. I have always had a great time with them. Congratulations on your work!

I have recently completed the Acroyoga Prem teacher course and I can say that it is worth doing. There are 11 days of immersion in a good environment, with very professional and at the same time super close teachers, who manage to create an atmosphere of collaboration and good vibes among the students who participate. The bases they give you are really very useful and the pedagogical part is also super interesting. Thank you! :)
