Client factsheet: Hypno- Psychotherapy
This is a factsheet I usually share with my clients before the first session. There are often misunderstandings and questions about Hypnosis. I hope it helps clarify them. “The Register for Evidence-Based Hypnotherapy & Psychotherapy” in the UK has put these bullet points together: The more you understand hypnotherapy, the more effective it is likely to be. If there are any points below which you don’t agree with, or don’t understand, please discuss them with
How Hypnosis Helped Me Quit Smoking—And How You Can Quit, Too!
There’s nothing quite like the shock of realizing you’ve been a smoker for nearly two decades… After 18 years of lighting up, I’d tried everything.

Understanding Smoking Addiction and Why You Should Quit Over the years, I’ve changed many unhealthy habits, but quitting smoking was by far

Photo by Ana Lui Photography Let’s face it—living with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) can feel like you’re constantly walking on eggshells. One minute, you’re fine, and the next, your gut has a mind of its own, throwing your entire day off course. But what if I told you there’s a way to bring the body back into harmony? As someone who has spent over a decade teaching yoga and now working as a Hypnotherapist, my
Why co-creating with others could make you a better and happier yoga teacher
Photo by Natalie Pedigo My best workshops, events, retreats and online projects have been those where I collaborated with others, where we offered something different from each other but shared our enthusiasm for what we love. In the spirit of Thich Nhat Hanh, who said: “The next Buddha may be a sangha ( community)” I would like to share today, why I truly believe we should start to work together. Take a moment and ask
Why you should be you as a yoga teacher
Photo by eggmotion.es BG 18.47: “It is better to do one’s own dharma, even though imperfectly, than to do another’s dharma, even though perfectly.” I’ve never met someone who became a yoga teacher because they wanted to become rich. Most of us teach because we love the practice, we want to share its benefits with others, and we hope we can at least make a living teaching. But Google “how to be yourself as
How core work makes your students stronger, healthier and more resilient
Photo by Lenka McCarthy Photography In our challenging times, I’d like to share why core work has never been more important and offer you five classes as a bonus. More and more, science is proving that exercise improves mental health and reduces anxiety and depression. Read the proof here, here and here.

If you teach in a second language, there are easy steps to take to improve your language skills as a yoga teacher without having to go back to the classroom. Why is it so important? In times of no touching and social distancing,

Photo by eggmotion.es Why it is important to teach Tadasana (over and over again) For simplicity, I will call the pose Tadasana throughout this post. Though it is called also Samastithi. Next time you plan a class, how about going back to basics and focusing on Tadasana? There’s just so much to learn about Tadasana and it offers you amazing insights into your students. Read why I think Tadasana is the most important pose in
Enjoy your dentist appointment with this 61 point meditation
Drawing by Paloma Villela This year I had my first tooth implant (also yogis are getting old!). Ever since I had an extremely painful, unpleasant experience at the dentist around 20 years ago, I’m someone who breaks into a sweat the moment I sit down in the dentists’ chair. OK, you don’t feel anything because of the local anesthetic. But you can hear everything: the sound of high-pitched drilling, the dentist talking to the assistant.
Love and Thanks to all the "Agnes Kru Possibilitators", who have helped me on my way:
