Raven Grace, the movement magician, has easily invested over 100,000 hours into physical movement practices. Coming from a youngster in pain who was unable to walk on a decline without knee pain and had scoliosis, to still breakdancing at 38, Raven realises there is no end in sight and learning is a lifelong process.

Raven first found Acro and partnering at Professional Dance School, (think Dirty Dancing high bird) and more, single handed movement lifts and standing Acro to enhance performance on stage. He later came across L-Basing Acro Yoga and Therapeutics while studying Shiatsu, and hated it. What was this half acrobatics/half massage, posing as Yoga thing done by un-committed, un-trained hippies in the park?

That was it for Acro Yoga, pushed to the side until one year later. Volunteering at 'Lentils as Anything' in Abbotsford Melbourne, it was at a co-workers party, Acro Yoga arrived again. And this time he had completed his first round of study in Oriental therapies and had new eyes for the potential of Acro Yoga. What could be seen now was the healing potential of Acro Yoga in society and social gatherings. Acro Yoga is a gateway for everyday people to reconnect with themselves and their joyful spirit through having fun, being present, connecting with others and returning to safety within relationships.

Raven began to notice peoples fears and resistance to change start to drop away almost instantly after a good Acro Yoga session. People became more warm and open, bringing more enthusiasm and excitement about life again. With this new insight, Raven devoted thousands of hours learning, practicing and performing Acro Yoga. A journey that became a full-time career, taking him to 20 different countries and creating some of the best moments for his life and others.

Raven is passionate and excited for each and every students journey that walks in the door for the first time or the thousandth time. In his spare time, Raven is a full-time student of life, studying whatever takes his interest, especially in the realms of movement, health and East Asian medicine. He believes good teachers never stop learning and even though we can do most things by ourselves, it is the relationships that we cultivate that nourish our lives the most.
