  • Group event (also open groups): Forest bathing / Shinrin Yoku (3 hours)

    If you want to reduce stress, open your senses or simply get in touch with nature, then you’ve come to the right place.

    Forest bathing / Shinrin Yoku originated in Japan. What may sound esoteric at first has been well researched in terms of its health benefits. Just two hours a week in the forest can increase your sense of well-being.

    I regularly combine the exercises with two other concepts that also originated in Japan.

    • Ikigai is a term that stands for harmony and sustainability. Ikigai is characterised, for example, by finding joy in small things and focusing on the here and now. Many people have forgotten how to do this due to the sensory overload of everyday life.
    • Nagomi is also a central component of the Japanese philosophy of life, describing a feeling of lightness, emotional balance, well-being and tranquillity.

    All three concepts have significantly influenced the green component of the AnimaCorpo coaching approach, which aims to achieve the right balance between things.

    Feel free to join the publicly available sessions or contact me for your own group event at thorsten@animacorpo.de.

  • Interactive workshop: Successfully integrate exercise and healthy eating into your daily work routine (1.5 hours)

    This presentation is about how you can sustainably implement your plans in everyday life.

    The desire to exercise more or eat healthier is widespread. In surveys of executives, two out of three respondents regularly state that they want to exercise more. Every second person wants to eat healthier. 

    A much smaller number of people succeed in implementing this desire.

    This presentation shows ways in which a promising attitude can be developed, habits can be established, and the social environment can be integrated. The personal situations of the participants are taken into account.

    In addition, there is advice on how to succeed in your plans even on days that are partly determined by external factors, for example, when you have a busy schedule, invitations, restaurant visits, or business trips.

    If you are interested in this offer, please contact me at thorsten@animacorpo.de.

    This event is for your mind and your stomach! After an interactive presentation, we will prepare breakfast and eat together.

    A healthy breakfast lays the foundation for the whole day. It is important to include sufficient protein, fiber, and a few other nutrients in the meal. I will explain why.

    The event can take place at your home, club, office, or other locations. The ingredients will be provided.

    If you are interested in this offer, please contact me at thorsten@animacorpo.de.
