Macaco & Flow

4-week macaco-focused movement course at YogaLoft Breda. It is a 4-week beginner movement course focused on building strength, confidence and coordination towards the Macaco.

This course is for people who enjoy movement and are curious about acrobatics, but want to approach it step by step. No previous acrobatic experience is required.

The macaco is a dynamic movement that connects the floor, hands and feet. It comes from capoeira, a playful and expressive movement practice that strongly inspires my own approach to movement. In this course, rather than learning the macaco as a trick, we approach it as a movement pathway. Throughout the course we work with mobility, locomotion patterns and partner exercises to prepare the body for the macaco and to explore playful variations around this movement.

Each week builds on the previous one, with space for repetition, exploration and play.

- Week 1 - Grounding & Foundations

We focus on feeling grounded, stable and supported. This week is about getting comfortable close to the floor, exploring basic shapes and understanding how weight moves through the body.

- Week 2 - Building Trust & Confidence

We revisit the foundations and begin to add more movement. This week focuses on trust in your body, your strength and your ability to transfer weight while expanding range and direction.

- Week 3 - Progression & Play

Here curiosity and play take the lead. We explore macaco progressions in a way that feels dynamic and accessible, playing with timing, direction and variation while staying connected to your own level.

- Week 4 - Integrate & Move Together

In the final week we bring everything together. We explore how macaco elements can flow into simple movement pathways and how moving together with a partner can support integration, confidence and enjoyment.

The intention of this course is for you to feel stronger, confident & playful in your movement, and more comfortable moving on hands and feet. You can move at your own pace & all elements are offered with options.
