When she is not performing or choreographing at special events, Keeva is busy with her role as managing partner of Fl’air Studios.

With her unique experience of growing up as a dancer but learning acrobatics as an adult, she has a thorough and complete understanding of how the body moves both on the floor & in the air, which allows her to make adaptations for every kind of student that comes into her class. She is passionate about quality of movement, technique, and proper conditioning.
As a coach, Keeva focuses on bringing the artistry out of her students & encourages them to not just learn the techniques necessary for aerial arts & extreme flexibility but to do so in their own individual, authentic & artistic way.

Elizabeth brings the Californian sunshine to us here in Berlin. She began her athletic life at the age of 14, with running and classic weight training. Along the way she trained on a cross-country team. After several injuries, she came to realize that her training wasn’t diverse enough and she decided to broaden her movement horizons. She began to train dance, Pilates, and stretching.

With a degree in Sports Science, she is passionate about dance and all types of movement. With more than 7 years experience as a fitness instructor and personal trainer, her continued personal development & exploration always brings her new inspiration for her teaching. Elizabeth’s classes are focused on body alignment. She aims to help her students to develop their own sense of body awareness using functional movements that engage the whole body to bring more balance to her students.

A true native Berliner, Max is one of the founding members of Fl’air Studios. Outside of Fl’air he is an attorney at law with a specialisation in Company and Medical Law. He also obtained an MBA in Economics. Max founded his first company in 2011, and since then has evolved into an entrepreneur owning several companies.

Max always had an interest in sports and has trained one sport or another most of his life. He is an avid rock climber, swimmer, and loves to bike as well as inline skate. His first introduction to aerial arts was when he met Keeva, his founding partner.

While Max is not involved in the acrobatic aspects of Fl’air Studios, he is a major part of everything behind the scenes that makes Fl’air Studios a success story. Responsible for all legal, administrative, financial, and structural planning, he is the ‘brains’ behind the brilliance you see at Fl’air.

While he is often not seen in the studio, his presence can’t be missed. Max built the reception desk, the dressing rooms, and even lay the floor of the studio! He was head of renovations as well as director of the task to build our purpose-built aerial rig, and successfully turned the studio into the beautiful place it is today.

Misa was born in Belgrade into a family of athletes that dedicated most of their lives to sports. Prolific in sports from his early days, he explored martial arts and acrobatics such as capoeira, karate, kung fu, and gymnastics. He fell in love with Yoga while studying sports and physical education. Since then, Misa has been an avid explorer of yogic disciplines, obtaining his certification as a Yoga Teacher for Hatha and Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga from Rishikul yoga shala in Rishikesh.

He strives to continuously improve his skills by using Yoga in conjunction with gymnastic’s strength drills to develop functional flexibility. Misa classes have strong Ashtanga foundation with a focus on building strength as well as increasing flexibility.
