I take your exercises very seriously. I take my time and am focused on what and how I will perform the move, even though I sometimes drift off the path, but I always manage to correct myself. I feel that certain movements have changed, compared to what they were like...Read more
WELCOME TO THE AEQ® WORLD
ENSURE A FREER, MORE RESPONSIBLE AND BEAUTIFUL FUTURE!
Take responsibility and take care of your health!
AEQ® METHOD
We should never forget our own responsibility for our health. We should not allow ourselves to be victims of pain. Let's change our view of the world, that's the only way we'll be able to live a more beautiful and free life.
What is the AEQ method?
The meaning of AEQ: aequitas is the Latin concept of justice, equality, symmetry or honesty.
With the AEQ approach to chronic conditions, we learn the importance of proper movement. By consciously and regularly performing AEQ exercises, the habits which cause physical (and psychological) imbalance can be changed.
Through AEQ exercises, the AEQ method allows us to feel what we couldn’t feel before due to sensory-motor amnesia. We can increasingly use new ways of moving and behaving. Learning the AEQ method by simultaneously acting on the body and consciousness allows for a real change in the subconscious, if this process, which is anything but fast and easy, is prepared to be carried out in an appropriate way.
The first step towards change is self-awareness. We mostly operate as machines, self-sufficient, automatically programmed and under the tutelage of old habits that were developed from reactions on emotional events from the past. This affects our physical state - chronic pain, as well as our psychological state - depression, anxiety, anger, emotional instability.
By learning the AEQ method, we learn how to act consciously. We train our consciousness as an observer of our own thoughts, which allows our decisions and actions to execute in a way that support our goals and desires. If we wish to change ourselves holistically, the change must take place in our consciousness, body and subconscious. All three branches should be treated as equal.
The AEQ method thus teaches us self-awareness and control over movement, thoughts, and actions, restoring the ability to manage our muscles, body, will, and thoughts. It offers an original way to relax muscles, affecting stress relief.
It is extremely important to develop the ability to feel your own body. This can be improved and maintained with AEQ exercises®.

CONSISTS OF
AEQ METHOD
The AEQ method focuses on understanding the influences of physical laws of our body structure, our bodily functions, and the functioning of our mind on our behaviour and lifestyle. It allows for a better understanding of interdependence and the connection of the body, subconscious patterns and consciousness. This helps us better understand what prevents our state and well-being not being the way we would like it to be.
AEQ RELATIONSHIPS
We cannot solve chronic issues without fixing our relationships first. AEQ relationships help us understand the meaning of emotional maturity and efficiency, as well as their role in understanding relationships within us, and with our surroundings. Higher emotional maturity helps us raise the possibility of making the right choices, take the right actions and achieve better results.
AEQ BREATHING
AEQ breathing improves the efficiency of our respiratory system and increases the possibility that we create the energy for action aerobically, thus obtaining higher values of vital energy quicker, and with it, us having a greater impact on our surroundings. It raises awareness of the role of time, and it’s influence on the effectiveness of our actions. Connecting breathing with time improves the abilities of our consciousness to accept the flow of time and the fact that there is a right time for each task. It also help us learn that knowing and relating to time and understanding the law of time is key to eliminating chronic conditions.
AEQ EXERCISES
AEQ exercises are an important part of all three branches of the AEQ approach. Exercises lower chronic muscle contraction and fascia, thud lowering the body’s resistance and allow the subconscious to make the changes necessary for different behaviour and better relationships. This, in turn, helps us eliminate chronic conditions. Lower resistance allows for a clearer and faster communication from inside and outside of us, clearer self-perception, and more correct actions.
Allow us to give you back control into your own hands with the help of the AEQ method
With the AEQ method, we safely, gently, and reasonably eliminate the root causes of chronic pain. This is an learning process, through which we ‘’retrain’’ ourselves and consciously alter our behaviour, posture and movement. It is an active, not passive, method. It is a successful way of sensory-motor organic learning, which teaches us how to eliminate the root causes of most chronic pain in our muscles, freeing us of movement restrictions that plague our lives.
With the help of the AEQ method, you will be able to learn how to move correctly, and through AEQ exercises and explanations of these processes on which the approach is based on, change your habits and vices that cause the imbalances inside your body. Both AEQ exercises and well as the explanations, allow your brain to consciously redirect, gradually reshape through neuroplasticity and then control a new way of movement.
But how could it be otherwise, when nothing hurts anymore, when you wake up rested, feeling energetic, comfortable and pain-free in your body!
Joy is key to maintaining youthful and care-free behaviour, while a healthy body is the key to freedom!
What problems do you have?
Do your muscles ache due to a recent injury? Is there a source of pain inside your body for a longer period, and you’re of the opinion that this is the result of long sitting sessions, walking incorrectly, tensions in the workplace or at home? Perhaps you’ve been suffering from chronic pain for years now, which have been deemed as such by the medical profession and are now trying to relieve them with painkillers and physiotherapy, none of which are successful? Are you under constant stress, which is starting to show on your general well-being? Do you wake up with a dry throat in the morning?
THE MOST COMMON PROBLEMS THE AEQ METHOD CAN HELP SOLVE:
- Chronic back pain
- Herniated disc
- Joint wear
- Headaches
- Scoliosis
- Migraines
- Chronic leg pain
- Chronic arm pain
- Asthma
- Allergies
- Dermatological conditions
- Sleep apnea
- Burnout
- Chronic fatigue
- Insomnia
The AEQ method understands and teaches that pain is just a piece of a wider puzzle that is the pattern of our dysfunction. These patterns reflect our usual responses to stress, which include muscle contraction.
Sensory-motor amnesia and the dysfunction that it causes, is manifested in four special holistic movement patterns, which we call the green light reflex (go forward), red light reflex (stop, go back), the trauma reflex (the result of injuries) and the freeze reflex (panic or life-threatening fear-paralysis).
How to insert AEQ into your life
START LEARNING THE AEQ METHOD
AEQ learning is best started by participating in 30-day AEQ learning programs. The program enables greater regularity and orderliness of learning the method, as the teaching is organized at the same time every day and is conducted live.
ACTIVELY LEARN THE AEQ METHOD
You can also learn the AEQ method individually. This approach is particularly suitable for more severe forms of chronic pain and conditions. You can learn from the author of the AEQ method or from teachers of the AEQ method at various levels.
Scheduling an appointment
The introductory conversation is appropriate for those that wish to find out how or if the AEQ approach can help with your problems. The conversation can take place in person in the Centre of the AEQ method in Brežice, or online through Zoom.
You will tell me more about your chronic conditions and problems, as well as the events that took place in your past, which most often create the basis for your chronic conditions in the present. Based on what you tell me, I’ll be able to give you an opinion and view from the perspective of the AEQ method about the reasons for your current situation. I will also help you determine the most appropriate path of learning the AEQ method to achieve the necessary change in understanding yourself and others.
I’ll explain the importance of changing the connection and perception of yourself and others, which must improve accordingly if we wish to learn, feel or change our behaviour. After the change, we can move onto improving our life and solving problems in which we have found ourselves in.
You can, however, schedule a consultation session, live or through Zoom, where we’ll be able to talk about the problem that caused you to come to me. Then we’ll be able to determine the most optimal course of action and way to fix the problem, the type of program with which you will start learning the AEQ method, and set dates for individual sessions, if it is necessary.

AEQ teachers
Future teachers of the AEQ method will gain an increasingly comprehensive and widely applicable perception of the way the AEQ approach functions and will be able to eliminate unnecessary muscular tension in the body. They will increasingly understand the differences between mind and body, and the importance of improving mutual communication between them.
Life events, especially those from our childhood, create a need for chronic tension, on which we become dependent and are thus enslaved by them. They limit our mobility, lower our efficiency and ability to feel ourselves.
The teacher’s main task is to guide a person towards achieving inner freedom. To achieve such a state, it is first necessary to eliminate the tension keeping the body trapped. The body is molded into a shape and separated, it’s functioning completely distorted. Without resolving these states, inner freedom is impossible, leading to an illusionary conviction that we’re thinking, feeling, and acting according to our will.
However, the teacher must first achieve a state of inner freedom.

My body was still in a similar spasm as in childhood, except now the consequences were becoming more serious.
I was brought to Aleš by an old acquaintance of mine, pain in the neck region of the spine. I knew it was the result of scoliosis, but since doctors taught me at a young age that scoliosis is an incurable disease, I kind of came to terms with it.
Your program gave me access to new depths and new dimensions, I learned so many new things about myself and I thank you very much for it.
For the first few weeks of the program, I felt terribly cold and it felt awful to feel it – I needed hot showers afterwards to stabilize myself. Toward the end I gradually warmed up, I was even sweating through the standing exercises. It was a great experience because I...Read more
I think you have created a great deal of confidence in all of us
Even when I was reading your book, which was gifted to me for Christmas, I knew this was a very serious matter. However, with your introductory lecture my trust in you grew even more, which is reflected every day, especially during exercises. Your leadership is convincing, your answers mathematically accurate.
Thank you for the explanations, answers, resolved dilemmas, and all the knowledge imparted.
The key component that made the difference for me is understanding the situation through explanation and, as a result, a new possibility of acting more efficiently. Even a partial awareness of the causes that led to SMO/SMA was enough for me to start turning the wheel again in the opposite...Read more

I knew I found the right thing
If life is fair in anything, it is in settling accounts for our relationship with ourselves, our body, and our psyche. Everything we neglect while taking care of our body and mind with the excuse that it's not important...
I am more confident and have more self-respect, and I let those around me know it.
During the 3-week program, I made progress in the sense that I managed not only to become aware, but also to internalize certain states, awareness, posture, etc. I no longer wonder if something is right or wrong and I am not in a dilemma or struggling with the feeling of...Read more
The morning feeling of living in a thirty year old body is gone

With the AEQ method, the process began – awareness, perception of physical pain, and big steps of change were intertwined
I became acquainted with the AEQ method in September 2014. At that time, my life looked perfect on the outside, but inside I felt anxious. Over the years, my posture increasingly reflected scoliosis, and a friend...
THINKING PATTERNS DURING EXERCISE
With too many unwanted results, injuries, rapid mood swings, chronic fatigue, and an emotional inability to deal with disordered interpersonal relationships, we need to honestly ask and look for answers to why we exercise or train this way.
CONTROLLING YOUR MUSCLES TO CONTROL YOUR EMOTIONS
The benefits of learning muscle control are not limited to sports. We learn…
MORE EFFORT AND LESS EMOTION ISN’T BETTER
A common cause for joint problems that athletes have, are sensory-motor amnesia (SMA) and an increased muscle tone that distorts correct and fluid pelvis and torso movement.
