For the very first time, Munichs movement teachers Ludwig Hefele, Raphael Hafez and Nil Teisner team up for a one of a kind movement immersion.
Together they will combine over 25 years of teaching knowledge and give deep insights to their various practices and training styles.
Explore the connection between skill building, physical preparation and creativity in this 5 day event. Dive into the wonderful world of acrobatics, learn to use your environment (both natural and urban) to enhance your practice. Develop your physicality using routines, strength work and release techniques. Discover playful movement scenarios and rekindle your inner mover.
We’ll be diving into various disciplines that inspire and influence Ludwig’s, Raphael’s and Nil’s practice: Soft Acrobatics, Parkour, Breaking, Strength and Conditioning, Body Work, Partner Practice, Dance and more.
During the Practice Intensive we will explore dynamically each day. There will be a minimum of 20hrs of practice, with opportunity for extra exploration outside of this. The practice sessions will be held indoors as well as outdoors in Munichs beautiful nature.
Join us and transform how you move – and how you see yourself.

_____________________________________________________
To participate in the intensive you don't need any special acrobatic skills, you don't need to be particularly agile or overly strong. However, you should have an active movement practice -
which style doesn't matter. Please remember that we will be moving intensively for many hours over many days. Also, for this event it is expected that one has the willingness to try something
unfamiliar, to show openness to novel experiences.
Physical Development
The role of breathing, meditation and mindset in movement and how we can use these tools in
our practice. Building various modes of physicality, from elastic work to release work and
explosivity. How can strength training enrich not only our sense of confidence but also nourish
other practices like acrobatics or parkour?
Acrobatics Practice
An interdisciplinary approach, mixing ideas from Soft Acrobatics, Breaking, Gymnastics and
Capoeira. Diving into the upside down, rolled over, fluidly connected, mind-bending world of
acrobatic movement. Isolated skills, transitions and combinations. All teachers have studied this
field intensively, you can expect great and unique content here.
Risk & Fear in Motion
Explore parkour-inspired techniques to safely navigate fear, develop trust, and build a simple
method to confront and grow from fear.
Learn rolling and falling techniques, test them in playful ways and integrate them into acrobatic
exploration.
Creative Practice Toolkit
Deepen your creative practice with powerful concepts, ideas and scores. Learn how to play
effortlessly with acrobatic forms, gravity and your own imagination.
The Movement Perspective
In the end we don’t just want to offer isolated practices and ideas. As interdisciplinary movement
teachers, we will weave all materials and contents together to create a unique, holistic and
vibrant event. We perceive beauty in the bringing together of seemingly separate ideas and see
great value in doing so for our practices and furthermore life.

About Nil:
A mover since day one: early exposure to various disciplines formed Nil’s love for movement
and honed his connection to physicality.
His teaching is informed by various interests and practices, including rehab & health training,
acrobatics, skateboarding, dance, weight training, parkour, didactics, pedagogy. The way of
working is and remains dynamic: new experiences are integrated into the work, curiosities are
being followed. The teaching goes beyond the physical: aspects such as learning experiences
and processes, exploration of the self, trust in one’s own body or fear management are an
integral part of the approach.
About Ludwig:
Ludwig is studying sport sciences and has been a parkour and movement practitioner for over a
decade. In 2013 he started coaching parkour at a local club in Munich. Since then he’s been
developing his (coaching-) skills to build a holistic training system that includes many different
disciplines like parkour, breaking and gymnastics. Next to the physical aspect of practice,
Ludwig is also interested in the psycho and socio-psychological aspects and how we can
transform, build and shape our character through a meaningful practice. He developed a broad
and versatile skillset by taking different classes like BJJ, MMA or Modern dance and by joining
different Workshops about physical and mental practice. Besides his in person classes, he also
teaches online and is part of different companies like Modern Methods of Mobility, Handstand
Factory and Motion Impulse. He also started digging into performing arts and is part of several
agencies which specialize in shows and events.
About Raphael:
Raphael is a student and teacher of human movement. His practice serves as a tool to learn
about himself and the world. It gives a frame for exploration and expression while also serving
as a powerful way to create meaningful experiences and to connect with others. His movement
practice evolved over the years and is composed of different forms and schools, like competitive
and internal martial arts, acrobatics, athletic development, somatics, bodywork, dance, moving
through the environment and many more. He shares his work as a physical therapist and
movement teacher with his community in Munich as well with the German Judo Team and in the
past with the team of Dr. Müller-Wohlfahrt & Pasqual Hohlbeck.
