The EVOLVE Method

As a result of our many years of expertise in the area of leadership development, complementary therapy and yoga, we designed the EVOLVE method. The evidence- and experience-based method includes various body, breathing and mindfulness elements combined with offers tailored to your personal lifestyle and (self-)leadership style. It combines innovative forms of therapy with modern leadership knowledge and the millennia-old knowledge of yoga.

We understand health and self-realization as something holistic. The EVOLVE method supports you in optimizing your lifestyle and (self-)leadership in order to achieve a happy, healthy and fulfilled life.

Based on the seven energy and consciousness centers, our method encompasses all areas of life and enables deep healing and transformation processes.

“The tension between my professional success on one hand and the necessary input of energy on the other hand have increased my desire for an energetic "compensation system”. I have learned that yoga in its holistic approach can ideally be installed in the daily business routine and in surprisingly short time leads to remarkable successes!”

— Roland Falb

Senior Adviser Roland Berger Strategy Consultants

“If we think, say and do what is our deep inner truth, we connect to the universal flow of consciousness. This connection makes us powerful, creative and unique. We become natural leaders and we are respected, because we live our truth.

No matter in which area we want to be successful. We can only be successful if we know ourselves, and courageously express it with each of our thoughts, words and actions.

— Gundula Maria Avenali
