  • Additional Information

In my workshops and courses I'm combining ACT with biofeedback techniques to teach mindfulness, using heartrate coherence training (HCT). Also I'm practicing aikido, a martial art in which many mindfulness techniques are trained. In my workshops I use aikido techniques to let people experience mindfulness bodily and in contact with others.
