Sundays, 2pm-3pm. Trial class: CHF 20 Drop-in: CHF 35 Book here: www.balancewithale.com/zurich/handstand "I'll never be able to handstand". You kick at the wall but see no progress. Your wrists hurt. You don't know how to improve... It doesn't have to be this way. Progress doesn't come from trying harder — it comes from practicing smarter. Handstands are a skill, and when you train them as such, they begin to click in a way that feels almost magical. This class builds the foundations (strength, alignment and technique) that make handstands feel achievable and fun. Through clear progressions and personalized drills, you'll discover how capable your body truly is, and how handstands start to feel within reach when you train with intention and support. Because drills are tailored to you, the class welcomes all levels — from "I've never kicked up before" to confident freestanding balancers who want to develop greater control.

EXPERIENCE PHILOSOPHICAL SYNCRETISM, INNER ALCHEMY, AND GAME SPIRIT. Try a live (private) session of **Mäng (offline in Zürich or online worldwide)**, a powerful self-exploration game that helps uncover hidden mental scripts and rewire the way you think, feel and act. It is a tool for a really **profound change** that follows the four stages of inner alchemy. A modernized version of an ancient contemplative practice, reimagined as a transformational tool based on psychological insight, symbolic logic, and inner strategy, it is not therapy or coaching in the traditional sense. Instead, it’s an immersive deep-dive into the unconscious mind through metaphor and archetype with a game spirit. 💡 **How it works:** Mäng is built on four stages of real, lasting change: 1. **Discovery** – Identify limiting beliefs and internal programs 2. **Uninstallation** – Let go of outdated patterns 3. **Design** – Create new mental strategies 4. **Integration** – Embed them into your deeper awareness You’ll be guided through this process by the **Master of Mäng**, who offers structure, questions, and insight, while you remain the one making all decisions and discoveries. 🌿 **Who is this for?** For everyone (regardless of beliefs, age, gender, etc.), but more than anyone - for those who didn't find answers or sufficient depth in pop coaching and psychology. 🕒 **Important:** This is a deep game. A full session lasts **4 hours**. Time slots are defined individually. Contact me directly to get an appointment. Price for newbies: 250 CHF

Tickets available at AnnTin studio: [https://www.eversports.ch/org/activity/a3ac0cae-7fe8-4a6d-ae56-3961e0214445](https://www.eversports.ch/org/activity/a3ac0cae-7fe8-4a6d-ae56-3961e0214445) Stress is eating you up? Can't stop overthinking? And when you finally want to get some rest after a hard day at work, you can't sleep? Prolonged stress can seriously affect your health, even contributing to burnout. The good news, there are many ways to reduce stress and keep it at a reasonable level. Somatic exercises help you regulate your nervous system, calm your body down, and release built-up tension. The exercises are part of a body psychotherapy method created by doctor and therapist Alexander Lowen in the 1950s. We are guided by one key concept: our feelings are reflected in our bodies. And our bodies have the power to regulate our emotions and heal the mind. Remember the last time you were extremely stressed? Chances are high you experienced it on a physical level. Sensations such as: Faster heartbeat - Headache - Tense shoulders - The feeling of something sitting in your throat - Stomach pains or nausea - A sense of having soft and weak legs These are just some of the examples of how our bodies react to stress. Research shows that chronic stress can have a negative impact on our heart, immune and digestive systems, hormones, and memory, to name but a few. According to a review of **various studies body psychotherapy approaches may bring about the reduction in people’s psychological distress.** This workshop will give you easy tools to use when your stress levels rise. Deepening the practice at home will help you build stress resilience in the long run. The workshop will be especially useful for people who **experience work-related stress but anyone can benefit from the practice.** What you'll learn and try out: - You'll understand your own stress response better. - You'll pay more attention to early stress signs and will be able to react before stress hits you hard. - You'll try simple exercises to manage stress tension on the go, even during a coffee break at work, not just sitting on a meditation **pillow in a quiet spa** - You'll gain the tools to build your lifelong stress resilience. We’ll cover the most common body symptoms and experiment with relevant somatic (bioenergetic) exercises for stress. The workshop is open to participants of all genders. **Your Facilitator** Anka Grzywacz is a psychologist and body psychotherapist **in training (final year of a 4.5-year training). She has extensive experience and 1.5 years of training in the facilitation of psychological workshops. She is also a sex therapist.** **Practical information** - Cozy studio near Triemli sto - Small group of max 7 people (all genders allowed - Unfortunately the workshop room is not easily accessible for people with movement difficulties (you have to go down a few steps) - Easy access via tram and train - Tickets Early Bird: 70 CHF, regular 80 CHF **Contraindications** - Pregnancy - History of psychotic episodes or taking antipsychotic medicatio - If you take antidepressants, you may participate, but only if you feel stable enough. I suggest discussing with a therapist or psychiatrist first. Somatic work in a group can be a valuable addition to talk-only psychotherapy, provided you feel stabilized - Sensitivity to noises, stomping (some people release emotions by making loud sounds, some exercises include stomping or kicking) - If you have another serious health condition or are taking strong medication, please consult your doctor first or message me for an initial assessment Here's what the participants of my somatic exercise workshops are saying *"I had the pleasure of working with Anka for a somatic exercise session, and I couldn't be more impressed with her expertise and approach. From the moment we began, Anka's calm and intuitive guidance made me feel completely at ease. She carefully tailored the session to my needs, offering clear instructions and creating a safe, supportive environment that allowed me to fully relax and connect with my body. Anka’s deep understanding of somatic principles was evident, and her ability to gently guide me through each movement left me feeling more aware, grounded, and rejuvenated. I highly recommend Anka to anyone looking to explore somatic exercises or deepen their mind-body connection.*

This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships. Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

Join us for lunch/tea at Asterisk Supper Club to discuss our May book "Under the Oak Tree" by Suji Kim Lady Maximilian is the daughter of the powerful Duke Croyso, but she is rarely allowed outside her family’s sprawling castle for fear that her stutter will tarnish their noble name. When she is forced to marry Sir Riftan, a lowborn knight caught in one of her father’s schemes, Maxi doesn’t dare hope for happiness, let alone love. Her stumbling communication and his gruff manner sour their relationship before it can begin, and Riftan leaves without a word the morning after their vows are exchanged. Now, three years after their disastrous wedding night, Riftan has returned as a war hero. To Maxi’s surprise, despite rumors that he was offered marriage to Princess Agnes, a beautiful and renowned sorceress, Riftan still wants Maxi for his wife. And when he comes to claim her, his longing becomes a desire that bewilders Maxi, even as she is overcome by the scorching heat that Riftan’s presence ignites within her. As she learns to navigate the intricacies of her new life, Maxi will find herself and her courage, and discover that she is anything but powerless.
