>> ALBERTO HERNANDEZ IS THE INSTRUCTOR
But ultimately, your EXPERIENCE is your true teacher. ;)
Born in Mexico into a family with a tradition of energetic healing, Alberto furthered his education in Eastern and Western energy healing techniques and philosophies. He received extensive education in the biomechanics of movement through his decades of training that included: diverse Dance Technique, Martial Arts, Yoga, Pilates, Gyrokinesis and Meditation training in LA, California. He holds certifications in Pilates and Body-Conditioning for Dancers, Medical Qigong, Hypnosis, NLP and more...but certificates don't prove anything about the real knowledge and expertise of an instructor, better experience training with him!

>> PHILOSOPHY
For us, Self-Responsibility means taking your physical, mental and emotional well-being in your hands whenever possible and at the same time trusting that you can grow with every good and bad experience that life brings to you.
Even though the emphasis lies on the growth of your inner balance, we practice together as a group giving mutual support, being aware that life is not only about ourselves.
Balance and harmony mean not to favor-the opposites good or bad-one over the other; it means to see clearly without emotional attachment, to accept and recognize what is necessary in the present moment.
Our commitment to Self-Responsibility can be viewed as an "artistic discipline." This is not a commitment to us, rather it is a commitment with your own "true-self." You are encouraged to attend regularly two classes each week. When you are unable to come, we recommend that you do the daily practice of the basic exercises - body movements, stretching, grounding, relaxing and dynamic meditation.
We are not profit oriented, all costs are invested entirely into the development and maintenance of the Self-Responsibility project and team.
