After my career, in addition to my studies, I have also completed an education as a dance teacher and sports coach. I could continue performing my sport without any pressure which is why my passion for flexibility training became more and more important. I realized that there is no need of pressure and tears to reach your goals. During my time in competitive sports I was lacking fun and a healthy approach which is why I want to pass these components along with my athletic experience on my students.

At the age of 16, I had a near-fatal accident. I broke my neck vertebrae in preparation for the European Championship, was paralyzed from the neck down for a short time and felt myself wheelchairbound for the rest of my life. Nevertheless, this time was one of the most valuable in my life.

I couldn’t compete in the European Championships, which taught me renunciation. I had to live in a plaster from head to stomach for 8 weeks, which taught me patience. I had surgery and was able to move almost as I did before, which taught me gratitude. I fought my way back into competitive sport and took part in the World Championships eight months later. This taught me perseverance and the knowledge that we can achieve anything if we want to and do something about it.

Many people do not trust themselves enough, do not believe in their potential and allow themselves to be restricted by social conventions. It is important to me that each of my students strengthens their self-esteem, which contributes significantly to progress. It all starts with a thought.
