About us

Movement is more than fitness training.

At Bewegungskollektiv you get strength, mobility and a clear head in one go. We’re a long-standing collective of trainers with roots in acrobatics, martial arts, dance and movement training. What connects us isn’t a discipline but a shared attitude to how people learn movement.

What we stand for

Four things that matter to us.

You’re not untalented.
Most people who think they lack the talent for acrobatics or martial arts were simply never taught well. We break movements down into steps an adult body can really take.
Depth, not a programme.
We don’t offer as many different classes as possible. We stay with a few things for a long time, until they stick, from the handstand to the qi gong form.
Strength and calm belong together.
In the internal martial arts there’s a saying: whether you wield a sword or write calligraphy, you are practising the same thing. It’s the same connection from the ground through the whole body, and the same attention in the movement. That’s how we see our training too: a macaco and qi gong aren’t opposites. They are two paths to the same thing.
We learn together.
We trainers keep practising too, we fail and start again. We teach with a beginner’s mindset and invite you to do the same.

Oscar

Co-founder

I’m Oscar, and I’m from Berlin. I started with the movement method, and after a few years it brought me back to my old love: acrobatics. Since then I’ve been mixing in tricking, parkour, breakdance, capoeira and gymnastics, always following my passion to find the best learning methods. I studied education and philosophy and have been teaching soft acrobatics to kids and adults ever since. In my classes it should feel friendly and above all be fun. I break complex moves into small steps, so beginners and advanced movers alike get their wins. I also look after our community so if you get in touch with us you're probably writing with me :)

Clara

Co-founder

I’m Clara. I came to Movement from strength training, spent a couple of years with the movement method and then dived deep into kung fu and the internal martial arts. For two years I trained full-time at the Xuan Gong Fu Academy. It was like a monastery, just in the middle of Berlin.

Over the last two years I’ve mainly been working on one question: how do I bring together everything I’ve learned from strength training, movement and the internal martial arts so that it really helps people? For that I did further training in rehabilitation and strength training. Today I mostly work in 1:1 movement coaching. There I can look closely and help people find joy in movement again.

Kung fu or Strength & Mobility: for me it’s never only about what you can see from the outside. In kung fu we develop inner strength and grounding. In Strength & Mobility it’s not about pushing your end range, but about first owning what you already have. With me you don’t get fitness training, you get a real practice.

Micha

Co-founder

I’m Micha. I started at 17 with classic gym training, pumping iron up to six times a week, never skipped leg day. At some point I realised the only thing I could actually do was lift weights. I wanted to be able to do things. Mobility, calisthenics and animal moves led me to Movement, and I stayed. For a while I chased every new skill I could find, and along the way I met Oscar and Clara in Berlin’s movement scene. To this day I’m that weirdo squatting at the bus stop, hanging in the train and balancing on every rail. I’m building the Bewegungskollektiv with the others, and whenever I can, I keep learning in their classes.

Eva

I’m Eva. I’ve been dancing since I was a kid and went on to study contemporary dance at the Northern School of Contemporary Dance in Leeds. Since then I’ve been working as a freelance dancer and teacher in Berlin and the UK. For me, movement is a form of research and a way of thinking through the body. I’m happiest moving in and out of the floor, improvising and exploring the possibilities of release technique. Over the last few years I’ve added a yoga teacher training, and right now I’m studying internal martial arts at the Xuan Gong Fu Academy. I keep finding new relations between rest and activation, and how one feeds the other. At our Summer Camp I lead the dance and flow sessions.

Milán

I'm Milán, a Berlin-based movement educator, researcher and practitioner. A lifelong passion for movement led me from karate world stages to capoeira rodas, parkour routes and contemporary dance floors: ten years of karate, seventeen years of capoeira, a couple of years of gymnastics training.

After transitioning from a career in sustainability to one dedicated to cultivating sustainable bodies and minds, I founded Evolutionary Movement, a holistic and ever-evolving method that connects rigorous scientific principles with artistic and embodied exploration. My classes integrate elements from martial arts, capoeira, animal locomotion, holistic mobility training, contemporary dance and improvisation.

The approach emphasizes curiosity, adaptability and connection rather than perfection: exploring not just movement techniques, but also the deeper evolutionary and ecological stories behind them. Academically, I hold a BSc in Applied Environmental Sciences and am completing my MSc in Evolution, Ecology and Nature Conservation at the University of Potsdam, with a specialization in biological anthropology.
