Mindfulness and compassion are human capacities we all have within, they are essential endowments of the human mind-body. Mindfulness and compassion are key building blocks for a good human life, as they bring forth mental health and wellbeing and relational flourishing. When they are weakened our mind turns
distracted, ruminative, in a defensive and threat detecting mode. Mindfulness and compassion are the outmost tools to open and work directly with our mind, emotions and relationships. Discovering our innate capacity for presence, connecting and caring.
The breath, as the foundation of our biology, is both a practical tool for enhancing physical, mental, and emotional resilience and a transformative key to accessing higher awareness and transcendence.
Ancient traditions understood the breath as life force—Prana, Qi—a pulsation that powers the thoughts in our minds and the emotions in our hearts. Modern science now confirms this vital connection: when the breath is scattered, the mind becomes restless, and emotions feel unsettled. Conversely, when the breath flows optimally, the mind clears, focus sharpens, and emotions find harmony.
By awakening the innate wisdom and power of your breath, you unlock a profound pathway to self-discovery, growth, and sustainable success. The breath becomes a guide to resilience, clarity, and balance, empowering you to thrive in all areas of life.
At the Institute for Human Potential, we embrace the breath as a pillar of our work, helping you harness its transformative potential for a calmer mind, a balanced heart, and a life lived to its fullest.
In a world that glorifies mental speed and constant productivity, we often become disembodied, living from the neck up, disconnected from the very source of our power.
Movement at the Institute goes far beyond exercise. It is a somatic practice of reconnection, awakening the felt sense of the body, recalibrating the nervous system through physical awareness, and restoring the natural flow of energy through muscles, organs, joints, fascia, and breath.
We work with:
Conscious movement and micro-movements to unlock tension, stagnation, and frozen emotional patterns held in the body
Interoception and proprioception practices to refine perception and deepen presence
Embodied mobility, strength, and fluidity to support vitality, resilience, and energetic expansion
Through these somatic pathways, leaders learn to sense more, feel more, and therefore lead and create from a deeper place of truth. Movement becomes a portal to aliveness, rootedness, and creative power, not something we do, but something we become.

Breathwork and energy are Rakel's main tools. She is a former international journalist and communication expert from La Sorbonne, since 15 years specialized in stress resilience and breathing.
