"Raven was there at the very start of my Acro Yoga and handbalancing journey (now almost 7 years strong!) He is a considerate, compassionate and reassuring teacher with an eye for detail and excellent communication skills. To this day, I use and practice the physical and mental cues he shared with us during the course of the numerous workshops and classes I attended. Some of my most pivotal and fond memories of learning Acro Yoga come directly from my experience with Raven's teachings. I highly recommend his classes and look forward to joining more!"

"Raven has a unique style of teaching. It's fun and gentle combining dance with Acro Yoga allowing people to be themselves and learn in their own pace I can hardly wait for another opportunity to do Acro with him".
- Viola Julin, Finland
”I've never felt so welcomed and included as in Raven's classes. Unconditionally. Apart from the incredible feeling of belonging, it was as if Raven was able to visualise everyone's different path, and guided the steps with talent, encouraging to take risks when it's needed or simply rest when it was best. I braved mountains of fear with an ally on my side, genuinely believing in me. Results are amazing, I found gold on the other side of the mountain that I couldn't see or even or imagine. Eveyone needs a little bit of Raven. Doing serious things without taking ourselves too seriously, is his motto. Joy is his fuel."

"I am so grateful to have had the chance to learn Acro Yoga with Raven. Raven creates a judgement free environment for his students to re-discover their bodies in a holistic way. His practice encourages self reflections and enquiry, both of which are crucial to overall physical and emotional development. In today's world, it is more important than ever that we create stronger connections with people and the community, whilst reconnecting with our bodies. For this reason I align with Acro Yoga was a practice and would highly recommend Raven as a teacher. He has a wealth of knowledge to share!

"My experience with Raven's Acro Yoga sessions were pretty amazing. I'm 20 years deep into dance/movement and never felt my body loosen up like that before. The Acro sequences were like being in a brand new body, very cool. Seriously, it left a tattoo on my joints that read, 'Do whatever this is more".
- Simon M, Bali
"I've done two Acro Yoga workshops with Raven so far and couldn't have wished for a better teacher! Both sessions were amazing - joyful, exhilirating, invigorating, encouraging me to push my own boundaries while meeting me where I'm at. Raven is a gifted teacher, gentle yet strong, who effortlessly manages to help everyone grow their skills regadless of how advanced or (in)experienced you are. I look forward to more!"

"Raven is a beautiful soul with the most contagious teaching and communication skills ever! He encourages you to embrace the highest aspect of who you truly are, which activates changes from the inside out. You find yourself doing things you had no idea you could or would do, feeling a joy you haven’t known since childhood ;-). Raven has a knack of engaging everyone in class to express from the heart – benefiting physically, psychologically and emotionally. His intuitive gifts connect everyone to the collective. Raven exudes energy in a most gentle and mindful way, always with brilliance and humility. His spirit certainly moved my soul and has had a life-changing impact on me. Raven is a treasure for students and teachers alike"

"Acro Yoga has been a deeply transformative practice in my life. Beyond the physical benefits of strength, flexibility & fitness, Acro has been an incredible tool of self exploration. Its playful & fun, and constantly has me leaning into trust of my own body as well as trust with others. Through the practice you are constantly rediscovering your capacity to learn & grow, and this has reflected beyond the mat to impact my life & bring about positive changes in my day to day life. The community connection that acro brings, has deepened the connections in all my relationships. It is the most incredible way to get into a healthy honest relationship with yourself! Raven teaches with gentleness & humility and his wealth of knowledge brings you into your strength & power"
