Meditation: We live in an increasingly complex and busy world, in a high-speed technology, We have a lot of desires ti satisfy and goals to achieve. Many things in life are beyond our control. Meditation is a powerful tool for creating emotional stability and deepening self-knowledge. Our meditation practices are techniques that promote concentration, clarity, emotional positivity and a calm view of the nature of things. After a short relaxation, you will immerse yourself in your own inner world. You will be gently guided with a guided meditation. Meditation takes place in our studio and also during our hikes.

Stretching: Stretching is a prefect preparation for our hikes. It keeps the muscles flexible, strong and healthy. During the morning stretching session, we stretch our muscles with exercises to keep them long, lean and flexible.

Vision Board: Everyone has something unique that they would like to show or live. But what, if you really can't see it? If you don't have a vision and you find it hard to see what you want and where you want to go, it is difficult to get traction. Without a clear vision, it is hard to direct your efforts in a way that serves your goals. It's also difficult to attract the support and resources needed. This is where the vision board comes in. The vision boards are an amazing tool to help you create that focused vision and kickstart the actual manifestation process. WE create a board/poster out of craft items, magazine clippings, and other miscellaneous items. Sometimes, what comes out of the crafting is magical.

Breath & Voice Coaching: When you have to speak in front of an audience, do you have stage fright? Would you like to learn how to express yourself better, or how to make a strong impression with your voice? Do you speak all day at work and your voice is tired afterwards? A good voice conveys confidence, is convincing and shows empathy.But other things also play a role in communication, such as posture, attention, breathing, thoughts, and feelings. Under the guidance of your coach, you will learn to communicate more decisively and expressively in a group in order to achieve your personal goals.
