Akroyoga Flow with Rita and Filippo

Rita has been practicing different sports at a competitive level since the age of 9, when she first took an interest in figure skating and discovered the magic of flowing. She found that magic again, when five years ago, she started practicing acroyoga, which she fell in love with immediately, thanks to the possibility to explore the grace of movement and the feeling of floating in the air. For Rita, the main potential of acroyoga is its capacity to connect two people whilst flowing, exiting your mental state for a moment and entering the so called “state of flow”, which is the union between being and doing, conscience and action.

Rita is a certified teacher of Yoga and Meditation 500 Hours TTC, Pilates, Reformer and Olit. She has been teaching for over 10 years and organizes acroyoga workshops in both Italy and Spain.

Hyperactive and enthusiastic child in his youth, Filippo was channeling his energy into different areas of movement, first with skateboarding and snowboarding, he met capoeira at the age of 17, falling in love with rhythm, freedom of expression and acrobatic physicality. 

In 2012, his travels around the world led him to Zero Gravity in Milan, where he took part in the opening and launch of freestyle acrobatics activities, teaching children and adults. Nourished by his curiosity to learn about ‘the body in motion’, he graduated in Physical Education with top marks in 2016. He continued his path by specializing with a Master’s degree in Fitness and Personal training, with teacher training in Yoga 250hrs in Hatha-Vinyasa (2017) and Acroyoga 200hrs in Italy (2018).
After the Pandemics his desire for knowledge and necessity to deepen his knowledge brought him to Murcia in Spain, where he started his career in Physical Therapy at Ucam University. In the meantime organized various retreats and events in Italy and Spain focusing on Acroyoga, mobility, meditation and soft acrobatics.
Filippo’s main specialties other than Acroyoga are Inversion classes, Acrobatics and trampoline, mobility and physical preparation for action sports.

Filippo has taught cartwheels to more than five thousand people of different ages and levels, building a personal pedagogical-educational approach that draws on her own motor path and personal awareness.
