Their teaching style is both approachable and fun while remaining technical and precise.

Rober
Rober Acro Solar
Acroyogui, wanderer, rebel. Spiritual and worldly.
Reality linker. He brings them closer and prepares them to play and get to know each other through movement and clear words. He summons the tribes. He ensures that the land in which he sows, nourishes and harvests is fertile. He takes care of his garden to welcome those who arrive.
He seeks clarity and vision for his actions: he feels, he thinks, and he acts. Whether in the kitchen, in a workshop, in a teacher’s training or as a festival producer, he seeks to integrate this drive and coherence with a sensitive and collaborative listening. He creates environments where people would want to use their gifts to ensure that what needs to be done gets done with conscience and from what one feels.
The idea of a joyful and balanced “path with a heart” inspires him. He takes care of being in sync with himself and agile enough to empower those who share any practice with him.
He enjoys the art of teaching and enjoys sharing knowledge to enable everyone to find their own ways of being and creating their own path. His specialties are icarians, whips and whipops, along with technique, care and teaching how to enjoy the learning processes.
