About

Hi, I’m Mito – the Flying Monkey.

I practice and teach movement, AcroYoga, handstand and bodywork. My roots are in Munich, Germany, and I have taught workshops, festivals and retreats around the world. It is my passion to explore movement from subtle details and fine tuning all the way to complex skills and flows.

My mission is to spread the love and enthusiasm for movement by bringing joy and playfulness back into “training” – so that as many people as possible live their lives feeling empowered, vital and capable, experiencing each moment to the fullest.

Moving my body is a way to connect with presence, awareness and intuition. Movement becomes meditation when it guides me out of expectations, judgements and patterns. Once the mind steps out of the way, I surrender into a flow of intuition and creativity.

Why monkey? When I look into a monkey’s eyes I don’t see chatter – I see presence. And why flying? Being lifted on your parents’ feet as a child is the first experience of trust and freedom. AcroYoga brought that back and has, quite literally, turned my world upside down.

What I practice for

  • Awarenessto fully experience all that is present in each moment.
  • Freedomto choose from a wide range of options.
  • Connectionto intuition and to the environment, to choose wisely.
  • Vitalityand confidence, to have the necessary power and courage.
  • Joyto love the process – not just the result.

Currently I am not offering public workshops or retreats. Private sessions, coaching and Thai-Yoga-Massage are available on request – just get in touch.

The practices

Four paths, one practice.

Solo practices like movement exploration and handstand cultivate embodied presence and a confident, joyful relationship with your physical existence. Partner practices like AcroYoga and Thai massage deepen connection, empathy, respect and listening – and the art of giving without wanting anything in return.

Connect · Play · Fly

AcroYoga

AcroYoga combines partner acrobatics, yoga and the healing touch of Thai massage. One person bases, one flies, ideally a third one spots. Beyond the fun of flying it is a school of trust, communication and listening – with the whole body.

Everyone can fly. You don’t need to be strong or flexible to start, only curious and willing to play. Fair warning: AcroYoga can be very addictive.

  • Strength & softness
  • Trust & communication
  • Community

Balance · Alignment · Confidence

Handstand

The handstand is a very special pose: challenging, a little scary and practically useless. And yet it is deeply fascinating and beneficial. It teaches alignment and posture, fine balance and a calm mind under pressure.

Flipping the world upside down changes your perspective – and the way you meet fear. Step by step, with sound progressions and respect for your body, the handstand becomes a place of ease.

  • Posture & alignment
  • Fine balance
  • Calm under pressure

Explore · Empower · Embody

Movement Practice

Free your body, free your mind. Movement practice is training beyond fitness: a culture of exploring yourself through your body. It draws from yoga, acrobatics, functional training, martial arts, contemporary dance, calisthenics, Capoeira, Parkour and animal locomotion.

It is for everyone. The goal is not to look good but to feel good: awareness, a wide range of options, vitality and the joy of the process.

  • Mobility & strength
  • Play & creativity
  • For every body

Thai-Yoga-Massage & Flying Bodywork

A space of unconditional devotion, loving kindness and full presence. Thai-Yoga-Massage is given fully clothed on a mat on the floor and combines acupressure, assisted stretches and the gentle use of gravity and leverage. Listen with the whole body, release, let go.

Flying Bodywork takes the massage into the air: the receiver floats on the feet and hands of the giver. I am not a therapist – with acute or chronic pain, please consult a doctor first.
