In a world where desk jobs dominate and movement is an afterthought, our bodies crave balance. Enter Milan, a movement enthusiast guiding Berliners to reconnect with their physical selves through the art of the handstand. Milan’s journey is as dynamic as his classes. From Karate World Championships to exploring Capoeira, Parkour, and Contemporary Dance, his path led him from competitive arenas to holistic movement practices. And when a close friend opened a yoga studio, Milan was introduced to a community that values movement as a means of sustainable well-being. He quit his job in Sustainability and Waste Management to focus on the sustainability of bodies and minds. In his handstand classes, Milan blends scientific insight with physical practice, but they’re about more than just getting upside down; as he puts it, “People are more than just a knee, elbow, or brain”. His teaching reflects that. Each session takes a holistic approach, aimed at building mind-body awareness, confronting fears, and shifting perspective.
The classes follow a flexible framework that evolves week to week, offering something new each time. No prior experience is needed as the focus is on conditioning, exploration, and growth rather than strict technique. Classes are held every Monday at Yoga Futura in Kreuzberg and every Saturday at their Neukölln location. For those eager to delve even deeper into movement, Milan also offers “Evolutionary Movement”, a class designed to help your body move as nature intended. If your inner child is itching to cartwheel or your grown-up brain needs a reset, Milan’s classes are a good place to start. Bonus points for landing on your feet.
