Spend your summer vacation with other Acroyoga- and Nature lovers in the heart of Dalarna, Sweden. The land of vast forest preserves, blue mountains and refreshing waters.

We will make little trips to scenic places. For example catching the midnight sun from a mountain top. Great photo opportunities!

International partner acro teacher Debbie Collis started taking gymnastics when she was a kid. Thanks to her training in her youth, she has the strength, balance, and poise to make partner acrobatics very beautiful. Debbie’s long straight legs and pointed toes are the envy of the acro world. Debbie loves the connection and flow she can find with a partner. She can forget about the whole world while flowing in complex acrobatic movements. Debbie has a talent for teaching. Students say that she is sweet and has a good eye for form. She loves practicing until she gets a move perfectly and loves to share this practice around the world by hosting workshops, teaching at festivals and assisting in teacher trainings. Debbie has been practicing acro since 2012 and became a certified Acro Revolution Teacher in 2017. You can find her on Instagram at @debbiecollis
Manas finds great joy in practicing Acro as it allows him to be fully immersed in the present moment. He embraces the process of attempting and failing, turning it into a fun and enjoyable experience. Manas's passion lies in discovering unique and unconventional acro transitions, as well as delving into the technical aspects of the practice to find ways to make it effortless and graceful. As a certified teacher of The Acro Way, Manas has shared his knowledge and expertise at various international Acro conventions and regularly conducts Acro workshops in Stockholm. His specialization lies in Acro flow, Slackro, Icarians, and Whips. You can find him on Instagram at @manas_acro_addict.
Been rocking the circus acrobatics scene since ‘99, teaching at festivals, circus joints, and theaters. Scored a silver in team performance at the Euro cheerleading championship, made it to the semi-finals on Norway’s Got Talent. I’m all about partner acro vibes, my favourites are acro dance, adagio, pyramids, and ikarian fun. Let’s flip the world together at the AcroCation festival! You can find him on Instagram at @acrooslo
Movement and body-mind connection has always played a major role in Anna's life with a background in track&fields, running, dance and yoga.
Acroyoga is her passion since 2018 and she loves to share the playfulness, connectivity and relationship building challenges with people of all ages and backgrounds. Slow and mindful acroyoga flows is her strength but she likes to learn other disciplines. As a certified AcroYoga Montreal teacher Anna enjoys both flying and basing and encourages her students to practice both roles for versatility and better understanding of the movements and each other.
Anna manages Mora Yogastudio since 2020, where she aims to build a loving and supporting Acroyoga community through offering beginner/intermediate level classes, regular jams and weekend events.
