Every single one of us is an athlete, this is because we came from an environment of hunter/gatherers and we fought to survive, eat, sleep and move.

Gunther's "Happiness project" More success, more money, more friends, all to come closer to our goal in life - Happiness. But once we have it all we  are not always satisfied.

The Chakra System – fact or fiction?

Whether you think chakras are airy-fairy or have significant connotations, the evidence shows how the structural/postural relationships and muscular imbalances connect with the  human being.

Pain part 1 – “The cure for pain is in the pain” Rumi

What exactly did Rumi mean with: "The cure for pain is in the pain?" Whether it be physical, mental or emotional pain we all run away from it. We are geared towards everything pleasant in life and to steer away from anything unpleasant, it's human instinct. Avoidance is hardwired into us as a route of survival. If [...]

Did Gandhi & Michael Jackson have anything in common?

By |2018-05-16T13:11:14+01:00January 16th, 2017|accepting change, Philsophy|

Two different men from different era's but the same meaning. Write now you’re probably about ready to quit dry January or New years resolutions will be fading fast. Why are diets and lifestyle changes easy to implement but difficult to sustain? Clients are always telling me why they cannot start class or come for sessions, there will [...]
