In this respect, I will challenge my students with philosophical questions about the ethics of engaging with each other from a win-win perspective as for them to develop a sense of understanding we are all interconnected and their decisions will impact not only themselves but those around them as well.
This is my first class on Apprentus and it is about developing successful careers while avoiding burnout. It is designed to be practical and to enhance my students' self confidence from a mindful selfless rather than selfish perspective yet assertive after only 1 hour spent with me. This class teaches lots of practical tools for anyone who wants to become an active successful agent of benefic change. The focus is for students to learn to develop their career in simple steps that anyone can easily apply and, at the same time, remain positive and energetic It emerged from my own career as I used to manage large teams of people into successful ventures with little to no funds at all. Is it possible? Yes, it is and I will make sure this course will clarify the steps that support your career development in all its layers in a practical straightforward objective-based trustworthy method.
You will learn:
- to engage in a project by setting up the right motivation;
- to make a consistent plan for your projects;
- to be flexible in response to the business climax, to your partners and anyone involved;
- to be mindful and future oriented in your business partnerships;

How to Raise Healthy Children - Theory and Methods

100 C$ /h

My name is Ioana. I am a certified counselor and a clinician in training. I lead workshops on parental education in order to raise the awareness it is better long term to raise our children in a healthy manner than to go through therapy later on in life. This 1 hour class will show you the correct educational method to use when interacting with your child in order for him/her to develop his/her own internal resources and why this theoretical knowledge and its practicality are more effective than the try and error methods many parents use till they become exhausted. The class is structured in a condensed manner for you to learn the basics of a mindful interaction with your child. Thank you and hope to see you attending my class!

I am here to convert you into Yoga.

With detailed yet soft guidance, I will help you connect your mind and body through this transformative practice. My approach to Yoga is focused on body alignment, building strength, overcoming different/new postures yet nurturing gentleness and playfulness on the mat. Every session includes various breathing techniques (Pranayama) and postures (Asana), regardless of your proficiency level. My goal is to help you to develop your practice that you can take home and keep forever.

Upon a request, I can guide you through Hatha, Ashtanga or Vinyasa Flow. The differences:
- Hatha - expect a slower practice with fewer postures, longer holds and a stronger focus on body alignment
- Ashtanga - dynamic and physically demanding style that follows a specific sequence of poses
- Vinyasa - a dynamic and flowing style of yoga that synchronises breath with movement

My classes are always tailored to meet student's needs and goals. Upon request, we can together implement Yogic Philosophy, Kriya (body purification), Breathwork and Meditation into our practice.

Join me on the mat! Let me guide you on a journey towards physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.

It is true that the philosopher is the friend of wisdom, but above all, he is someone who does not want to make mistakes in reasoning. Philosophizing is a way of reasoning and a way of solving problems that will never have a perfect and definitive solution. Knowing the distance between the Earth and the Moon is not a problem of philosophy, because it is enough to measure to solve it. On the other hand, knowing, for example, what justice is, is a problem of philosophy. A meter will not be able to help us know the answer. We must go about it differently, and in the courses I offer, I will teach you how.

You will learn

- text reading strategies
- case studies with the aim of learning from experts
- methodology in philosophy
- writing an essay
- writing a text commentary
- a work on the philosophers of your choice
- an overview of the history of philosophy
- the general culture necessary to be able to philosophize

I will adapt to your individual needs. Each course is tailor-made. We will analyze where your difficulties lie and together develop a course program that will make you perform as quickly as possible. The basic principle of the courses I offer is dialectics, like Plato's dialogues: reflecting together, making theoretical contributions, asking questions and seeking answers, and testing the validity of reasoning.

For the past 10 years, I have been teaching German using the philosophy methodology, having studied philosophy at the Master's level at Aix-Marseille University. It turns out that the analytical mind is very useful even outside the confines of philosophy. Today, there are even fields of activity such as management with philosophy or philotherapy. In recent years, some German students have asked me to also teach them philosophy courses, and that is why I decided to offer philosophy courses directly.

I look forward to meeting you during a first lesson.

Hi! I’m Anouk, a certified yoga teacher 🧘‍♀️ offering personalized yoga and mobility classes adapted to your body, your lifestyle and your goals.

My approach is simple: **yoga should adapt to you, not the other way around.** ✨

Whether you are a complete beginner, an athlete, a runner, a gym enthusiast, or simply someone who feels stiff and wants to move better, I create each session around what you actually need.

Classes can focus on:

• Improving flexibility and mobility
• Releasing tight hips, hamstrings, shoulders or back
• Yoga and mobility for runners 🏃
• Recovery and mobility for strength training and gym athletes
• Improving balance, body awareness and control
• Gentle yoga and active recovery
• Building a regular yoga practice
• Learning yoga postures and proper alignment
• Personalized stretching routines
• Relaxation, breathing and stress relief

You do **not** need to be flexible or experienced to start.

Every session is adapted to your current level, mobility, physical activity and personal goals. We can have a relaxing session, work specifically on mobility and flexibility, or create a more athletic practice depending on what you need.

I teach **private 1 to 1 sessions as well as sessions for two people**, online worldwide 🌍 or in person depending on location.

Classes are available in **French 🇫🇷 and English 🇬🇧**.

My goal is not simply to make you “do yoga”, but to help you use yoga and mobility as practical tools to feel better in your body and improve the activities and sports you already enjoy.

Hi! I'm Anto, a yoga teacher with dual training: in Argentina and India.
I lived in Australia for 4 years, so I teach in English or Spanish.

I offer a holistic approach, beyond the physical: we will work together on postures with breathing, meditation, yogic philosophy and general well-being.
You will find classes designed and planned according to what you are looking for and your possibilities/needs; they can be gentler and more mindful practices or dynamic ones.

If you're in the northern/western area of Greater Buenos Aires, ask me about in-person classes at your home. Outdoor groups will also be available soon.
