Hatha Yoga & weekend retreats

You keep functioning. And still you've lost the thread to yourself.

Sometimes it's the body that stops cooperating. Often it's more: the job that only drains you, the quiet after the transition, the question of who you actually are. The triggers differ, the feeling underneath is the same. One weekend is enough to arrive again — with Hatha Yoga at the centre, training, nutrition and reflection from one person.

No mindset talk. No manifesto. No wellness journey. Grown-up, not empowered.

01 · The mirror

You're standing in front of the mirror.
And you barely recognise yourself.

Before we start: tap whichever one fits best. There's no wrong answer, just an honest starting point.

Sunday night · just before eleven You sit on the sofa and notice: your head has been somewhere else for weeks. You stand in front of the mirror and think: „I'm doing everything right. Why isn't it going away?"

Half an hour later you're quietly googling what's going on with you, then closing the tab fast when someone walks in. You don't say anything. Not even to your closest friend.

This isn't a discipline problem. In a transition phase, body, sleep and energy start shifting in waves, not in a straight line. There's a physical logic to it. And it can be worked with.

For some the body shows up first. For others it's the quieter question that surfaces at the kitchen table at night: „I've always functioned for everyone, and I don't really know what I want for myself." Both have a place here.

PRESSURE POINT Awake at 3 AM. Again. The afternoon collapses, the evening drags, and nobody has told you why.
QUESTION „I'm doing everything right, why isn't it working anymore?" Maybe it isn't your discipline. Maybe it's the rules you were taught.
PLAIN TALK This isn't your fault. And it can be changed, with a plan built for what's actually true after the mid-thirties, not for some ideal version of you.

Sound familiar? Then you're in the right place.

02 · Six dimensions

Six dimensions.
We start where it's stuck.

Health isn't only the body. It has six dimensions, and they hold each other up: bad sleep makes you raw to stress, stress topples your eating, the sense of being alone in it drains every effort. We never work on all six at once, that just overloads. We find the bottleneck and start exactly there. Tap a dimension.

your health
Energy
Metabolism, sleep, energy, strength. Steady through the day, no coffee and sugar as patches. In a transition phase the rules shift here first. Usually the place where it tips first.
↑ Tap a dimension

A weekend retreat brings you close to these six levers. If you want to keep going after that, the 14-week programme walks you through them one at a time, from Energy to Meaning.

03 · What changes

No big promises.
Concrete changes.

What can you expect from working together? No transformation, no before-and-after. More like this: the things that used to carry you, carry you again.

Body & strength

Stairs, shopping bags, a long day, and you still have something left in the evening. Load-bearing strength, not bikini body. Function instead of frustration.

Sleep & metabolism

Sleep that holds again. Energy that stays level through the day, no 3 PM crash, no sugar as a rescue.

Identity & meaning

Clarity about what you actually want, with structure. Not a journal, not affirmations.

Nervous system

A quieter nervous system. Breath and movement as actual levers, explained physiologically, not wrapped in spirituality.

Everyday structure

Self-direction instead of willpower grind. Routines that run themselves, because they were built around your actual week.

1:1 from one person

Someone who walks with you. A person, not an algorithm, not a method mix. You and me, in the format that fits.

04 · The method

From one person.
Yoga at the centre, three disciplines around it.

Hatha Yoga is the starting point: nervous system, breath, mobility — training, nutrition and reflection dock in from there. One person, not four trainers, four apps, four appointments where you sort out who said what when — one plan that doesn't split you into pieces. Tap a discipline.

Across all four: the same stance, observe without punishing. I don't prescribe, I don't diagnose. The medical side belongs to female doctors I work with as partners.

05 · What I offer

Four formats.
One person behind them.

Different format for different life situations and time — Hatha Yoga stays the through-line. Which one fits you, we figure out in the first call. No standard package, no sales theatre.

08 · Who you'd be working with

Hi, I'm Fjodor.

I work with people in transition, who notice the body is changing and sense there's something more underneath. Hatha Yoga, training, nutrition and reflection come from one person here, because life doesn't keep them separate either.

// Start
Bodywork
Master Personal Trainer, back-care, nutrition. The body as a language I learned to read.
// Turning point
Praguna Yoga
500 hours of Yoga TTC (200 h + 300 h). How to settle the nervous system, physiologically, not esoterically.
// Today
Working through transitions
Systemic coach. The four disciplines woven together, for people in transition.

And yes: I'm a man. That's a fair thing to ask. You may have had experiences where men, doctors, ex-partners, bosses, didn't take you seriously. I'm not promising anything magical. I work with female partner-practitioners and a medical network. Scepticism isn't a problem here. It's the reasonable starting point.

09 · Voices

What clients say,
in their own words.

Six women I've worked with. No polished quotes, no stock photography. Only what they wrote themselves.

Yoga and coaching together? My first thought was: please not another esoteric thing. But Fjodor is the opposite. Very pragmatic, very direct. My constant neck pain is gone, and in the agency grind I'm finally closing the laptop on time again.

S
Sarah, 38
// Agency

I'd assumed this constant low-grade exhaustion after 50 was just normal. Fjodor showed me quickly that this is nonsense. The first weeks were genuinely tough, but he stays with it. I feel physically better today than I did at 40.

C
Claudia S., 52
// Nutrition & energy

His directness helped me most. No dancing around. He found a way to fit movement into my chaotic life with job and kids so it doesn't add stress. No previous trainer managed that.

J
Julia, 41
// Project management

What sets Fjodor apart: he checks where my energy is right away. If I'm coming out of a meeting wrecked, we don't push through strength training. He brings me down through movement and breath first. That combination is rare on the market.

S
Sabine v. L., 58
// Working, high load

I really just wanted to get back in shape after an injury. That we ended up going deep into my stress triggers wasn't on my plan, but it turned out to be the real shift. Sleeping through the night again, for months now.

M
Melanie R., 45
// Recovery & sleep

Without Fjodor I would have ended up in burnout last year, I'm fairly sure. We didn't just talk. We made my body stress-resistant in parallel. He helped me see my blind spots. The concept is very logical and it works.

K
Katja W., 36
// Tech consultant

11 · Honest assessment

Does it fit you?

I work with a few women in depth, not many on the surface. Here's the honest read.

// This fits, if
  • You've been „doing everything right" for years and the body still isn't on board.
  • You want straight talk about what's happening physically and inwardly right now. Not reassurance.
  • You want a fixed person as your contact — not an anonymous app programme.
  • You want a plan that fits your life right now, not an idealised version of it.
  • You're willing to stay with it for 14 weeks, even when one week falls apart.
// This doesn't fit, if
  • You're looking for a quick diet or a bikini-body promise.
  • You expect manifestation or affirmations. „Love yourself" as a method doesn't exist here.
  • You want medical treatment. That's not my job (coach limit).
  • You change the system every 6 weeks. This only works with consistency.
  • You expect this to happen without you in it.
12 · What you might be thinking

I know the objections. Let's be honest.

These are the thoughts almost everyone has before booking a first call. No marketing spin, just plain talk.

Time
„I don't have time for this."
Fair. Time is often the actual issue, not the price. It's 14 weeks, one person, a plan that fits your week. Integrated, not added on top. If 14 weeks are genuinely impossible right now, I'll say so in the first call.
Discipline
„I don't have the discipline to see this through."
Good news: discipline isn't the lever. We build routines that fit your week rather than fight it. What lasts doesn't last through gritted teeth, but because it fits your life.
Scepticism
„Another coach with big promises."
No manifesto, no mindset talk, no wellness journey. You get an honest assessment in the first call. Then you decide. No funnel, no pressure.
Price
„€490, is it worth it?"
Transparent, not hidden: pilot €490, regular from €890. Whether it fits you we work out together first. No pressure, no upsell.
Too late
„I'm too late for this."
No. You're exactly where many people start. You've functioned for everyone else for years. That's an achievement. We work with where you are now, not with an ideal version of you.
Esoteric
„Is this a spiritual thing?"
No. Yoga here means nervous system, breath, mobility, with a physiological frame. No incense. Structured, not spiritual. Grown-up, not empowered.
13 · FAQ

Honest answers
to the honest questions.

I don't have much time. Can this still work?

The plan gets built into your week, not stacked on top. It's one person and one thread, not four apps and four appointments.

If the next 14 weeks are really impossible right now, I'll say so in the first call instead of pushing you into something.

Is this coaching or something spiritual?

No mindset talk, no manifesto, no wellness journey. Yoga here stands for nervous system, breath and mobility, with a physiological frame. No Sanskrit without translation.

Reflection means systemic coaching with structure. Reflection questions, not affirmations. Structured, not spiritual.

Am I too old or too late for this?

No. You're exactly where many people start. The fact that you've functioned for everyone else for a long time is an achievement. And right there is also often the problem.

We work with where you are now. The body is usually the way in. The rest follows.

Is this a medical treatment?

No. Coach limit: I don't prescribe, I don't diagnose. This isn't therapy.

For medical questions there's a network of doctors and therapists I refer to clearly. I keep that line visible on purpose.

Retreat in person, programme online — how does that work?

The evening and weekend retreats happen in person, in the German-speaking region — small group, one place, real presence. The 14-week programme runs online, so you can fit it into your everyday life wherever you are.

The first call is a video call, 1:1, with me directly. No sales team in between.
