I am glad I stepped into the world of AEQ. I enjoyed your teachings, knowledge and leadership.
I joined this program because I learned, through previous programs, how very tense I am. I began learning how to relax and feel my muscles, as well as how to correctly perform and lead AEQ exercises. I realized how important correct nasal breathing is. Mine was the opposite. It was

I have a special, strong and respectful attitude towards your exercises.
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

After 30 days, I know the basics of each exercise enough that I can perform it a little differently each time
I maintained a daily routine of exercise, but only once a day. I think that it really helped that we worked together for 30 days, that it then became and remained a habit and it seems quite normal to me that I do the exercises for 20 minutes every morning.

I recommend this program to everyone who wants to learn about the causes of the inability of the human body to function properly
So far, the 30 day workshop is the best way to learn AEQ exercises. With a great and accurate explanation for a better understanding of the causes of body stiffness, the exercises gain more depth. My understanding is improving daily, which allows my body to move more easily.

I am performing exercises regularly, because I feel that they’re having a positive impact on me.
Even though we completed our first ever exercise, you have already gained my complete trust. In today’s flood of charlatans, your method, accompanied by your dedicated guidance at every step, is reliable and, above all, very well-argued. I used to say to myself when asked various questions that you wouldn’t

I observed that my posture is more upright, my forehead less wrinkled, I relax my body more often
I regularly perform your exercises, 6-7x a week, and in such a way that I do not repeat them, or do them in the same way. I do different combinations of sequences and not always on both sides of the body equally. When I feel that one of the exercises

Aleš, thank you for an even deeper insight into the AEQ method.
I decided to sign up to the program due to the chronic pain in my left hip and back, which appeared in the middle of December and was always present, sometimes more, sometimes less. After an active AEQ therapy, the feeling of pain became a bit stronger. With the start

I am grateful to you, Aleš, for making these programs available and for helping us.
The 30-day program left a big impression on me. It’s a whole different feeling when a teacher guides your through the exercises. The program instills a routine in you, so that you may perform exercises by yourself later. I did researched plenty of methods, but something was still missing.

I feel more energetic and confident after the program
I am becoming more aware of my body, parts of it and areas where I am not relaxed. I am paying more attention to my walking and movement. Even during the program I began waking up in the morning without an alarm (something that hasn’t happened for about 40 years)

I often laugh to myself when I notice something about myself.
But I am aware that I still have a long way to go before I can feel my muscles and know how to consciously relax them. You gave us excellent instructions on the program and I realize that for certain things, everyone has to figure it out on their own

I look forward to a one-on-one meeting.
This program of yours is a great investment. It’s true that I’m taking it all in little by little, and every now and then a tear of sadness and pain, which has been accumulating in me for years, would come out. I feel that there will be a long way

With you guidance, I was able to focus purely on your explanation.
I decided to enroll in the 30-day program because I believed that this approach will help motivate me in performing AEQ exercises more regularly. When I performed them on my own, I spent most of my time just reading. And then, I tried to perform the exercise. When reading, I

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.

I sometimes have a feeling that my body began melting on the floor.
The most obvious change was the clarity of my thoughts when I first sat down in front of my computer to begin working. They were ordered in a neat row. This surprised me, because I had this constant feeling for a whole year now, that I don’t know where to

In just one week – since starting the exercises – I can do things about 85% of the time without pain.
Ever since I joined the workshop, for the first time after 5 or 6 years, I no longer feel excruciating pain in my entire back and should when I play the violin. I can now actually play the entire, very demanding, 15-minute composition and not feel tired afterwards. I no

As they say ‘’Happy wife, happy life.’’
I am glad that I was able to sign up for your program so quickly after individual therapy. I already learned a lot about myself there. I knew and felt some of the things, but always viewed them in a different light, and had trouble solving problems/finding patterns. For me,

Otherwise, I really admire you, how you figured it all out, connected it,… and I am grateful that life brought me to you.
I’m writing this because I haven’t had any serious problems with my body. The only thing that was happening to me was pain in the buttocks, and even this was the result of an injury – slipping on muddy ground due to my dog’s movement. I had pain in my

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

I am grateful for your clarity and help in changing my subconscious and body.
I noticed a lot of changes after three weeks of AEQ exercises. I now feel when I work too much, so I take time off and relax. I would’ve just pushed on before. For an hour or even several hours in a row, I move more relaxed and healthily, less

When I wake up, I have a bigger desire to work than before I joined this program.
The third week of the program brought a lot of changes in the way I feel things. For the first time ever, I clearly felt the blockade in my neck. Similar things are now happening in both sides of my torso. I can’t think of my neck as a whole

I now go on walks daily, and I walked 400m up a hill without rest and with far less fatigue
I noticed changes in my body daily: immediately after the morning exercise as relief and relaxation of certain parts of the body, the pain in my joints was becoming less severe. Around 10am I felt fatigued so I took an hour long nap (I never took any naps before, I

I don’t know how to release all the pent up anger, rage, and fear… emotions. I know, a cliché.
I am grateful to attend your guided exercise program thanks to my daughter Barbara. I realized that I urgently need them because I have problems that I don’t know and I don’t know how to solve, reduce or stop them. For some, I knew that they had their origin from

I am glad I ‘’discovered’’ you and that COVID happened, because it gave me the opportunity to be present on your program that you led through Zoom.
I would like to thank you for the things I experienced this month. I enjoyed your direct and honest explanations of my conditions. My observations after one month are such: back pain is completely gone. Even after having an hour-long walk. I now enjoy going on walks and have once

I did the exercises too quickly, without feeling.
I recommend the AEQ program to anyone who wants to eliminate or alleviate their chronic condition with the help of the AEQ method.

I would recommend the exercises to anyone suffering with chronic pain.
I read your book ‘’Lahkotno iz kroničnih bolečin’’ (Gently freeing yourself of chronic pain) during the summer, because I suffered from strong pain in my spine and was barely able to walk, especially when attempting to stand up. Going from lying on the bed to standing was nearly impossible. It

And the body doesn’t follow my orders. Interesting. It listens, but it adds in a move or two.
I tried a few approaches already, but these exercises and the exercise routine have shown the most effect. Or at least they’re the most promising, because I still have quite a few months or years of change ahead of me. More than 40 years of hiding is not revealed in

I’m slowly letting go of my green light reflex.
In short, a lot is happening. Everything from spasms, pimples, resistance, outbursts of anger, warm and cold waves of energy, awareness of the current state… to mention only the main sensations.

Guided exercises at a certain hour “force” you to take the time to contact your body, which brings certain insights…
The program is clear and logical, thanks to a good and thought out explanation given to its attendees. They also become aware of the importance of balance and harmony in life, in which time plays an invaluable role.

The subconscious and the automated responses stored in it can only be changed through behavior.
We connect our sensations with our consciousness, relax our body and connect it with our raw emotions and responses through the AEQ exercises. The body begins to change, your consciousness now plays a larger part, we better recognize when we’re functioning on subconscious (past) patterns, which gives us the knowledge

I realized that leading with a teacher is much more effective than if I doing it alone. That I have many parts of my body that I can’t feel or connect.
I decided on the 30-day exercise management program because I thought that this way, I would be able to exercise more regularly and with greater presence. When I was doing the exercises myself, I spent quite a bit of time reading. Then I tried to do it. When reading, I

Even during the day, I often notice that I’m squeezing a muscle unnecessarily. Which means that my body awareness and attention are improving, the more I feel it and know what to do to relieve the tension.
My third week of attending the 30-day program was the hardest one yet. I felt fatigued throughout the whole week, sometimes more, sometimes less. I strongly felt my back leg muscles (in the same sense as muscle soreness). I slept well. I repeatedly observe how I wake up a bit

Now I already know that the subconscious mind does not like rapid changes and changes in itself. The point is not to give up at the first resistance.
I joined the 30-day program of the AEQ method with the intention of eliminating or at least lessen the pain in my back, neck, knees and my feet, which I have cultivated in my life through various activities. Or so I thought. After the introductory session and the first two

I am more decisive and bold in my decisions. Instead of being scared and/or angry.
A high level of knowledge, an understandable and empathic leadership style, and a clear and logical explanation of conditions and situations are my first thought when asked about Mr. Aleš Ernst. The 30-day program of the AEQ method gave me a rich itinerary for every day from the first day

Regular practice also shows me more clearly my condition, the connection of pain in the elbows with the neck and lower back, as well as the tightness of the muscles on the back of the legs.
Above all, the time devoted to leading the exercises – a maximum of 30 minutes – is a very good choice, as it allows me to receive information with a deeper awareness. Since there are not too many of them, my conscious part can process them without stress.

In the beginning, I pressed my heel and shoulders with all my strength and all possible muscles into the ground…
On the right side of the back muscles at the level of the shoulder blade, it cut me as if I had been stabbed with a knife. All the muscles on the body were activated; only then, with your warning, did I gradually relax the ones I didn’t need.
When I

I had a poor connection with my body, but I wanted to achieve this by force.
In the beginning, when I was still getting to know the exercise, I told myself what needed to be done as I read in the description of the exercises you sent us. When I understood the exercise, I mainly performed it automatically, like any other exercise. It was important for

I realized how ineffective, silenced, and shallow my breath was to take a step out of my self-doubt, stand up for myself and gain basic respect for my surroundings, especially my home environment.
During the AEQ breathing program, for the first time, I consciously felt my diaphragm, how shallow my breathing was, and mainly, due to the tightness of the abdomen, only with the upper part of the lungs. During the day, I noticed that I was constantly tightening my stomach and abnormally

Your program gave me a lot. Your words constantly echo through my head. Especially the saying that if you hit a wall, it feels no pain, but you do.
Thank you, I am very pleased. The structure going forward also makes a lot of sense. I wrote the exercises in advance according to the numbers of the days of the month and I do them whenever I have the time and space for it. They keep me grounded and

With a better understanding of myself, which I deepened during the program, I better understand why certain things represent greater limitations for me than others.
Raising emotional maturity is not an easy thing; there is no room for pretense. Aleš led the program professionally and creatively, with many additional explanations, which enabled the participants to understand our states and the feelings we experienced during the program.
Sometimes the explanation was not pleasant to hear; it

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

I no longer have anxiety or panic attacks, and I can more easily accept all the situations that happen in my life.
At first, I noticed how free my rib cage became and the increased ability to express happiness, love, and anger. Now I am learning how to use my anger more effectively – not suppressing it but also not going completely mad because, during the program, I also allowed myself this

I am now aware that the rigidity of my neck and vertigo are associated with the energy of unexpressed anger, which would otherwise leave a positive impact on my surroundings
At first, I noticed how free my rib cage became and the increased ability to express happiness, love, and anger. Now I am learning how to use my anger more effectively – not suppressing it but also not going completely mad because, during the program, I also allowed myself this

One month after completing the AEQ breathing program – Description of the impact; on me, on my life and higher emotional maturity
Today I can understand that during the whole month, while actively performing AEQ exercises and breathing protocols as explained in the program, I had a regular symptom of cleansing the body with the presence of worms in the stomach and cleansing through diarrhea. A whole month after the program, I

The truth that Aleš gives is objective, supported by strong arguments, a lot of knowledge, and experience.
I haven’t noticed any progress in terms of improving my condition (SMA) yet, because I couldn’t do movement exercises regularly because of the pain (I was doing breathing protocols). Still, I began to notice more and more the increased emotional maturity regarding regulating my behavior in relationships with people. I

Aleš, you have given me a lot with your method. Thank you.
This was my second breathing program. Last year I attended the 60-day course, and this year I attended the 30-day one. Nine months have passed since the start of last year’s program and the end of this year’s. In between, there is training for the AEQ teacher’s Level 1. In

Thank you for all the answers and explanations, all of them were super clear and accurate for me.
It eliminated more than 10 issues I was suffering from. Non-productivity, hidden procrastination, depression, running away from myself, anxiety, anger, an unfocused mind, not expressing my feelings, not being aware of my current condition and feelings, complicating things, confusion, impatience, food disorders, etc.

I am so deeply grateful for committing to the AEQ method.
Through one’s awareness and receiving proper explanations one can go very deep into changing his patterns and habits. Aleš has a lot of knowledge and understands the connection between an individual’s situation and his somatic issues well. Highly recommended.

To illustrate it with a known phrase: “united we stand, divided we fall”.
AEQ exercises help us reconnect our conscious awareness with our feelings, and soften our body and connect it with our authentic emotions and responses. Our body starts changing, our conscious awareness starts having a bigger role and we start recognizing better when are we taking action from our subconscious patterns

Testimonial on AEQ workshops/group coaching
Since my first session with Aleš in 2016, all the experiences I’ve had with him have been full of inspiration and transformation. At the time, I was in need of help because I had severe back pain and ischiatic pain – I wasn’t able to walk for weeks. The pain

The pain is washed away through tears that look so real but they are just emotions that we didn’t allow ourselves to feel in the past.
I have been dealing with hip pain for a while now. The results that I got back from traditional doctors have not shown anything special. They offered me painkillers but I rejected them because I knew this was not the right solution. The pain escalated at a workshop where two

I am creating more and more order in my relationships, I am more aware, and I am able to realize faster what do I want and what I not want and how to achieve that.
The exercises have become a routine, they help me relax and find my zen. I wasn’t consistent enough with them at first, I didn’t give them enough attention and didn’t dive deep enough into understanding them. The program for the bottom part of the body helped me to put myself

The progress made is exceptional.
I just wanted to say that your 30-day program is better than any psychotherapy. The progress made is exceptional – I am gaining so many insights. I had an especially emotional day today – it was very difficult. Alenka Rebula came into my thoughts when she said: “put down all

I received many insights, knowledge and learned how to move properly.
I would like to thank you for these last few insights…your words are so impactful and meaningful and I felt a strong resonance with them in my body when you said that we create change with action and not with intention. I realized that despite my previous interest in AEQ,

I am becoming a better person because of the AEQ method.
Dear Aleš, your method has liberated me. My movement and my thinking have become easeful. My way of life has changed and improved. From being very hardened, sad, angry, scared and psychologically confused person I turned into a flexible, happy and open woman. I hold myself gently and talk to

Thank you very much Aleš for your detailed explanations and for your patience, I gained so much new knowledge
The 30-day AEQ program for the bottom part of the body gave me the opportunity to start feeling my body better. After many years of living with a severed connection to the bottom part of my body and having minimal sensations when using my legs, I now feel that these

I felt the deep relaxedness come back which reminded me that learning is a fundamental part of life, that practice makes perfect and that AEQ creates miracles.
I took part in the 30-day AEQ program for the upper part of the body because I had issues in my upper back. At first, I thought that my problems were the result of my sedentary lifestyle but then I experienced an “aha moment”…

You are a true treasure trove of knowledge.
I’ve been experiencing the 30-day breathing program very intensely. I really liked the way you were teaching and leading the breathing exercises and modules. The instructions were clear and the repetition was helpful. Throughout the program I was doing the exercises once per day when on my own. The program

Thank you Aleš for your detailed instructions, I have learned everything that I needed to learn
I have been searching for solutions for many years with different teachers and therapists but I haven’t been able to achieve my desired results yet. I am glad that I finally found a teacher with an immense quantity of knowledge like you. This is the first time I’ve heard of

I have found that a 30-day AEQ workshop is the best way to learn AEQ exercises
The efficiency is shown in lessening the usage of energy for the same amount of work and for making the work higher quality. During the program we are updating the body to the living conditions of the present moment by understanding our past. During the workshop I first increased, then

Thank you for your devoted leadership and for your in-depth explanations
I heard about the AEQ method from my daughter after mentioning to her that I feel an escalation of tingling feelings from my left shoulder toward my neck. I also started having issues with carpal tunnel a few years ago, and I’ve been also feeling irritating itchiness around my left

Even though I am used to not listening to my body I am now more aware of how deeply my face muscles, neck muscles, back muscles and shoulder muscles are contracted
I feel that participating in your breathing program has helped me take one step closer toward myself. Even though I am used to not listening to my body I am now more aware of how deeply my face muscles, neck muscles, back muscles and shoulder muscles are contracted. I am

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

I am looking forward to attend your next breathing program.
After doing your 30-day program my kyphosis disappeared. I got up in the morning, touched my neck because I felt something was different, and I could not believe that there was no bump on my neck, or at least it was so much smaller that it felt different. Have my

I feel more peace inside me, I take more time for myself, I am people pleasing less.
I am doing the exercises regularly and I know that this time is meant just for me (at first, 30 minutes felt long – my old patterns turned on – but when I go into the exercise slowly it feels like they go by really quickly – feels like a

I can happily confirm that my days now go by without any pain even though it used to be a constant
It has been a year in March since I first visited Aleš. Before AEQ exercises my leg pain was unbearable. I had the most issues with my left hip. Sometimes the pain was so severe that I couldn’t make a step with my foot. After having an operation on my

I’ve grown closer with my partner, we are now more connected as a family, more love and support are felt.
I haven’t been in contact for a while. I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the exercises, advice and wisdom that you have shared with me. My life changed for the better, it is more beautiful and more peaceful. There has been no

It wasn’t easy but it was necessary so that I could start feeling my legs more and consequently start moving into the right direction in life.
This is my opinion of the 30-day program for the bottom part of the body. Through the program, I became aware of new things about myself – my legs and my body core felt like strangers to me, I started feeling my suppressed emotions and events because they became so

Her body immediately responded to therapy but only to gentle techniques not to strong ones.
Today I felt a need to reach out and tell you a story. I had a patient with chronic shoulder pain. Immediately after examination, I knew that the primary cause for her pain was not shoulder calcification but excessive contraction of muscles and connective tissues that has been active for

I feel confidence and inner peace. I took a very brave step and quit my job. It makes me happy that I was able to make a new step forward in my life.
It made me feel so excited when I realized that I can intertwine the AEQ method with my career as a physiotherapist and I also learned a lot about myself as well. I had a thought that there is a long and challenging journey ahead of me. Then I did
