The female body is organised in a unique and extraordinary way: in essence, our hormonal cycle is our inner clock. The task I set in my classes is to bring order to the training process. The structure proposed here is a preparatory stage, one that needs to be completed before practice can bring the results […]

When I begin working with someone, I start with an intake interview, and scars are among the first things I ask
