OUR FIRST EDITION WAS A HUGE SUCCESS!
We can't wait to welcome you again for this second edition, we have lots of new things in store for you and a line up of INCREDIBLE teachers!
THIS YEAR WE HAVE DECIDED TO EXPAND THE FESTIVAL BY ADDING A 3-DAY PRE-FESTIVAL TO SATISFY YOUR DESIRE TO GROW AND LEARN FROM THE BEST.
We have also made improvements to the workshop area and the camping area to make your experience even more pleasant.
THE BASIC CONCEPT STAYS THE SAME
we’ll offer amazing workshops for all levels, daily yoga and movement practices and a “family-like” vibe at an amazing off-grid, fully sustainable mountain property.
Have look at how it went last year
THE AAF FAMILY
It all started with a big dream… and then it became real!
We are a bunch of passionate acroyogis who share a common intention for building community.
Our idea is to create an inclusive space where everyone can feel welcome and can grow. Acroyoga, Yoga and other Movement practices are the way we have chosen to help people reconnecting with themselves, with others and with Nature.
A beautiful mountain top property, completely off-grid and with a big focus on sustainable living is the setting where all the magic happens, many people come together each year to create this wholesome festival experience that goes way beyond the learning and the practicing of ACROYOGA.
DOES THIS SOUND FRIGGIN’ AWESOME TO YOU?
here is our amazing LINE UP of teachers for 2025
THE VENUE
RIFUGIO ANTOLA, Genova, Italy
is a mountain hut located at 1480m a.s.l. in the region of Liguria, Italy. The venue is reachable only on foot, there are many hiking trails to reach it but we have selected two main options for the participants of the festival.
The hike to the Rifugio can take between 1 and 2 hours depending on your pace and level of fitness although both hiking trails are used daily by unexperienced hikers and families so they are easily accessible to anyone thinking to join AAF :)
The rifugio offers a tranquil and peaceful setting in which you will be able to switch off completely from the rest of the world and focus on being present and have fun.
The place is entirely off-grid and it relies on renewable energy, for this reason, we are all very thoughtful of the way we use water, electricity and gas and we invite all of the participants of AAF to embrace this way of life for the duration of the Festival.
If you are looking for luxury AAF is probably not for you ;)
If instead, you are looking to connect with nature and with a bunch of likeminded people, then AAF is definitely for you!
The rifugio offers 4 basic dorm rooms with 4 bunk beds each and can accommodate for 32 people.
Delicious home cooked style meals are prepared daily with care using only locally sourced food from the neighbouring towns and veggies grown on the property.

FULL WEEK COMBO 7-13
There will be a wide selection of workshops and activities.
Each day will start with a morning yoga flow and a group warm up.
We’ll have two main workshop areas and two workshops running at the same time for different levels.
A jamming area will always be available and the surrounding area offers plenty of space for down time and other outdoor activities.
Each evening we will run either a fun group game or some relaxing activities… but you’ll still be able to keep jamming if you wish!
On the Saturday afternoon we organised a group hike (weather dependent) and an acro photoshoot in nature.
