Why is pelvic mobility important?
🔆Pelvic mobility is essential to meet the simplest daily functional needs such as walking or climbing stairs. The pelvis is the center of gravity and the largest bone complex in the human body. It is an insertion point for strong muscles: they form the muscular chains that have the pelvis as an anchor point.
The shortening or overtraining of some of them, due to sports postures or gestures, can generate an imbalance in the tensegrity system of the pelvic girdle and many local and adjacent problems, from muscle decompensations, pain, health problems at a visceral level and many others. aspects that are not taken into account 🧐
✅You have to ensure that your pelvis is in a neutral position, aligned at all times and in any activity you do so that your body does not adopt wrong postures by default and avoid having problems with its mobility and consequently other derived dysfunctions, such as hernias, lower back pain. , pelvic floor problems, etc.
📌The program aims to strengthen, stretch and put into tension the muscle chains and the analytical work of the abductor, adductor, extensor and pelvitrochanter complex. All of these myofascial elements determine the pelvic position and, in doing so, create or limit the freedom of the pelvis, having repercussions on the lower and upper limbs.
🤗 Of course we are not going to leave aside the rest of the body❗️❗️😅
The training approach will be individualized, after a general and analytical body evaluation.
Enough of so many aches and pains, release the superficial and deep fascia and revitalize your energy center. 🥰

Passionate about chess since childhood and a teacher by profession, I offer online courses aimed primarily at beginner and intermediate players who wish to progress in a structured way while retaining the pleasure of playing.

My goal is not simply to teach you moves or openings to memorize. My main aim is to help you understand why a move is good, how to construct a plan, and how to identify tactical possibilities on the chessboard.

The courses are tailored to your level, age and goals.

Depending on your needs, we can work:
- the rules of the game and the fundamental principles;
- the development of the pieces and the principles of opening;
- tactics: forks, pins, skewers, discovered attacks, typical checkmates;
- the strategy and the construction of a plan;
- the middle of the game;
- the essential finals;
- the calculation of variants;
- time management;
- the analysis of your own games.

An important part of my method involves analyzing the games you've played with you. Together, we look for key moments, mistakes, missed opportunities, and the best alternatives.

For beginners, we progress gradually in order to build good habits from the very first games.

For intermediate players, we can work more specifically on their weaknesses, delve deeper into certain tactical or strategic themes, and analyze their games in detail.

The lessons are interactive: you play, you think, you suggest moves and we analyze the positions together.

Children, teenagers and adults are welcome.

I offer relaxed, supportive chess lessons for beginners and developing players of all ages.

My approach is about more than simply learning the rules or memorising openings. I use chess to help people build confidence, concentration, patience, decision-making, resilience and problem-solving skills while learning the game at their own pace.

I particularly enjoy working with people who may feel nervous about learning something new, have struggled with traditional teaching styles, or simply want a more patient and encouraging way to learn chess.

Lessons are adapted to the individual. Some people learn best by playing, some by talking through positions, and others by breaking the game down step by step.

There is no pressure to compete or already be good at chess. Complete beginners are very welcome.

My aim is simple: help you understand the board, enjoy the game and become more confident in finding your own moves.

I provide individualized fitness and rehabilitation-oriented training focused on health, physical function, mobility, strength and sustainable progress.

My approach is based on the principle that the gym should first and foremost be about health and well-being. A good physical shape is a valuable bonus, but it should not come at the expense of your health.

I work with people at different starting points, including complete beginners and people returning to physical activity after injuries or periods of reduced mobility. My experience also includes working with people with disabilities, limb amputations and knee injuries, adapting exercises to individual physical abilities and limitations.

Training can focus on:

• Mobility and movement quality
• Strength development
• Functional training
• Recovery and return to physical activity
• Adapted exercises for people with disabilities
• Training with physical limitations
• Progressive preparation after periods of inactivity
• Improving stability, coordination and movement control
• Gradual preparation for more intensive training
• Beginner fitness and safe development of physical capacity

I do not believe in rushing beginners into intense workouts. The training process starts from the person's current abilities and gradually develops strength, mobility, coordination and endurance.

Each program is adapted to the individual rather than forcing everyone to follow the same training routine. The goal is to build a sustainable relationship with physical activity and help the student become stronger and more physically capable while respecting their current condition.

My background in medical rehabilitation supports an approach focused on understanding movement, physical limitations and the process of restoring and improving musculoskeletal function.

Whether you are a complete beginner, returning to exercise after an injury, living with a disability or simply looking for a healthier and more sustainable approach to fitness, the training can be adapted to your individual needs and goals.

Chess has been a part of my life since I was 7 years old. I grew up with this game, participated in many competitions and, over time, I discovered one thing above all: I love sharing it.

Today, I want to pass on this passion to those who wish to discover chess or simply become better, whether they are children, teenagers or adults.

For children, my primary goal is for chess to remain enjoyable. Through the game, I help them learn to concentrate, take time to think before acting, anticipate, and better manage their emotions and impulsiveness. I adapt to their personality and pace, including when a child struggles to maintain focus for extended periods.

For teenagers, the focus is more on progression: understanding their mistakes, developing their tactical reflexes, learning to build a plan and, for those who wish, increasing their Elo rating on Chess.com.

For adults: whether you are starting from scratch or already play regularly, we can work together on your weaknesses, your games and your goals to allow you to progress while having more fun playing.

I am a patient, smiling, and passionate person. I prefer a lesson where we exchange ideas, where the student reflects and searches for themselves, rather than a lesson where we simply recite variations.

My goal is for you to finish each session having learned something... and with the desire to play again.

For eight years, I worked as a chess teacher, primarily with young children and beginners. I taught chess in a fun and understandable way, adapting my lessons to each child’s age and level. I helped children develop concentration, logical thinking, problem-solving and strategic skills while also teaching patience, discipline and fair play. I organized lessons, games and small tournaments, supported children individually when needed, and created a positive and encouraging environment where they could learn and gain confidence.
