Here, the Playing State unfolds through thought — questioning, reflecting, and embodying ideas until they move us in life as much as in art.
My participants will learn to:
1- Achieve sustainable physical health.
2- Apply personalized thought, movement solutions.
3- Optimized Performance and Flow and energy use.
In 2007, after years of training in gymnastics, After years of training in gymnastics, martial arts,, athletics and dance, I became obsessed with a simple question: Why does movement sometimes flow effortlessly, while other times it feels blocked and heavy?
This quest led to the development of the Playing State philosophy, a method I discovered between 2007 and 2024, which allowed me to form these five key elements that set Playing State apart:
1- Personalized Diagnosis of Blockages: Based on your unique body and movement patterns.
2- AKBI Strategy: Guidance for solving movement challenges and redirecting flow.
3. 12-Joint System: A framework for improved functionality and fluidity.
4- IBDAW System: A method that breaks every movement down into five essential elements to identify and correct misalignments.
5- RGB is a system: A method that breaks every thought down into 3 essential elements to identify and correct misalignments.
6- Practical Application Anytime, anywhere: For any movement challenge, saving time and energy.
Playing State workshop helps dancers, athletes, and movers recognize what’s holding them back—what I call “Weight.” Whether you're in pain, stuck in a technique, or aiming to reach your highest performance, Playing State gives you the tools to reach direct flow—and with that, the ability to choose the state of play.
I actively seek those who want to transform their field (Awakened Artisits), so I can share with them the full philosophy so they can bring positive change not only in their field but in any other art they choose.
The result?
Sharp mind, vital body, the greates outcomes in your field and above all: more joy in living.
Note: In the beginning, you’ll often need external feedback to recognize indirect flow or misaligned elements. That’s where I come in: my role is to diagnose movement and redirect flow. Over time, as you embody the system, you’ll learn to recognize and redirect on your own.
Before joining, take a moment to reflect.

Let's Move, Flow, Play-Together
Current Phase: Invitation-Only Workshops
At the moment, I’m offering selected PSV Workshops free of charge as part of the Emeel Academy initiative to discover and support Awakened Artists — dancers, movers, and thinkers who are ready to move, flow, and play through their routines.
Participation is not automatic:
Each applicant fills out a short checklist with eight questions. Based on your responses, you may be invited to join the workshop. If not selected this time, you’ll be kept on the waiting list for a future round.
This selective approach ensures that every workshop is filled with the right energy, the right people, and the right purpose.
The PSV Workshops will be offered as a donation to the Emeel Academy.
All donations and workshop fees will directly support IBDAW Dance Projects — film creations, theater productions, costumes, and event preparations.
Right now, my payment is in energy and people — in finding many Awakened Artists who will grow with me.
Later, when the time is right, participation will shift from donation-based to regular booking.
In the future, PSV Workshops will return to their regular prices:
1 day (5 hours) - €900 - per person
2 days (5 hours/day) - €1,500 - per person
5 days (5 hours/day) - €4,050 - per person
Special guests such as Yves Schwantner may occasionally join to teach about nutrition and neurological training, making each workshop a complete experience of movement, awareness, and vitality.
Next workshop: 15.11.2025 from 16:00 - 19:00
