Training & health in the circus
The cornerstones of Somatic Restoration are – breathing – adjustment of the body’s asymmetry – adjustment of neuronal tension.
In the various workshops I focus on individual components and complexes and teach biomechanical processes.
In the workshop listed below, Circus Akademie Berlin asked me to create a customized workshop for their circus educators and trainers on the topic of training theory and health in circus.
The next event will take place at the end of September 2024.


The Circus Akademie Berlin workshops are aimed at professionals and (prospective) circus teachers and circus trainers with and without experience. Participation from 18 years.
In order to further develop skills that have already been learned and to learn new skills, in addition to practicing the disciplines, playful strengthening exercises and, from the age of adolescence, age-appropriate athletic training are part of a training session for children.
By increasing physical readiness, more technically demanding artistic elements can be learned. Circus trainers must have basic knowledge of fitness training in order to prevent incorrect strain and to maintain or improve the performance and resilience of the musculoskeletal system. Last but not least, health and safety are taken into account in well-founded circus education work.
In the theoretical units, the training principles and the manifestations of strength are explained. The practical part of the module deals with the organizational forms of strength training and exercises.
