« Was für eine Chance, die Weisheit des Schwertes – die Liebe (in Bewegung) – von einem Paar unterrichtet zu bekommen – mit den Stärken von Yin und Yang und dem Wissen um die Herausforderung in ihrer Vereinigung.
Danke für die reiche, liebevolle Weiterbildung: die praxisnahe Theorie, die wohlwollend, genauen Bewegungskorrekturen und die kraftvoll, präzise Begleitung im ganzen Transformationsprozess. »  *

*trad : Quelle chance de se faire enseigner la sagesse de l’épée – l’amour (en mouvement) – enseignée par un couple – avec les forces du yin et du yang et la connaissance du défi de leur union.
Merci pour cette formation continue riche et aimante : la théorie empreinte de pratique, les corrections de mouvements bienveillantes et exactes, et les conseils puissants et précis tout au long du processus de transformation.
