About

Proud to tell my age…

My name is Ivana, I am in my 60s and proud to tell my age.

It has not been easy to reveal my age to the world, but today I do it with great pride.

Although I have already passed the so-called “middle age”, today in my 60s, I feel at the pinnacle of my life. I look and feel healthier, stronger, younger, and more confident than I ever felt before. For me, life has begun a new and exciting phase at 50!

You may ask now, what have I done so differently to obtain such great results first with myself and then with so many people that I have treated.

Here is my answer:

I have taken a very different perspective when thinking about physical exercise.

I strongly believe that the old adage, when applied to physical exercise, NO PAIN NO GAIN does no longer apply to today’s people lifestyle.

The old approach of breaking your body to be fit is simply a myth, we are moving towards a different Body consciousness, a new era where people will search for new and different body awareness.

Most of the people go to the gym or decide to go running without any movement, postural preparation, education and awareness. They do not have the correct information about what kind of exercise would be most suited to their personal needs. Often the choice is more dictated by the Body appearance rather than the Body efficiency. 

My approach is the opposite; my followers and I go with the motto ‘NO PAIN YES GAIN’.
I apply a very intelligent approach that respects the natural movements of the body.

A Sustainable Body

It all starts from being aware of this beautiful vehicle we have been given to ride during the journey of our life, to understand it and use it correctly, just how would you do with a beautiful car.

If the physical body is in good postural alignment, it will move efficiently, allowing you to perform freely your daily tasks and enjoy your favourites activities and sports.

This natural muscle connection will result in a very harmonious shape of your body as a bonus.
