Your teacher
Aleš Ernst, author of the AEQ Method
I work daily with clients who turn to me mainly because of chronic muscular pain. I teach them different perspectives on the causes of pain and constraints that they feel every day. They will eliminate pain and improve movement and poor posture with better understanding and exercises, if exercises are performed regularly, of course. My clients are also professional athletes, coaches, and recreational athletes who want to keep up with the success they have achieved with hard work. AEQ Method enables you to successfully overcome stress and pain by increasing the effectiveness and control of the movement, thus improving results, restoring motivation, and redefining goals and ambitions, all without pain. AEQ Method teaches us to control our bodies better, as well as the mind, and to increase control and complexity of movements and work. I am the author of the book » Out of chronic pain with ease«. I witness daily significant positive changes that the AEQ Method brings into the lives of my clients and their results.
About the seminar
In a half a year, of practical work on yourself, of curiosity and teaching others, and studying audio recordings and workbook from AEQ level 1 seminar, you will get enough knowledge and experience for your changes, and this will be a good starting point to enrol in a seminar of the AEQ Method® Level 2. The option of enrollment will have Level 1 teachers, who will show knowledge and interest in learning and the appropriate breadth of expertise of the AEQ Method®.
Seminar of the AEQ Method® Level 2 requires a much better horizontal and vertical connection than it is necessary at the seminar of the AEQ Method® Level 1. The ability to feel, control and the clarity of communication are fundamental criteria for continuing education in AEQ method®.
The AEQ Method® Level 2 Teacher’s Seminar leads to deepening the knowledge about the emotional causes of the SMA and the principles of the AEQ Method®. It introduces the understanding and importance of the membrane and the impact of emotions on functioning and feeling of soma. You will add new exercises to improve conditions such as frozen shoulder, scoliosis, and repeated sports injuries to your knowledge and skill base. The seminar also includes learning how to be actively helpful as a teacher when your clients learn to perform the exercises more correctly by applying palm pressures on certain parts of the body, which increases their sensory perception and awareness.
The knowledge you receive in 7- day seminar provides quality assistance for the Level 2 teacher when dealing with more severe forms of somatic problems. Among others, it can heal or alleviate severe pain in the back, neck, knees and joints, sciatica, tennis elbow, carpal tunnel pain, heel pain, hyperlordosis, hyperkyphosis, piriformis syndrome, thoracic outlet syndrome, frozen shoulder, headache, shallow breathing, migraine, tendonitis, muscle spasms, chronic fatigue, tingling in hands and fingers, fibromyalgia, scoliosis, and Achilles tendon.
The acquired knowledge at the Level 2 will provide you with quality attentiveness, which is necessary for the fair and proper independent management of the 4-6 hour AEQ Method® workshops with up to 10 participants, and up to 15 participants with the assistance of Level 1 or Level 2 assistant teachers.
A Level 2 License is a prerequisite for continuing advanced-level AEQ Method® education that enables clinical work with clients, active individual therapy, and acquiring the title teacher of the AEQ Method® Level 3. In the education process of advanced level, You learn about clinical protocols and active work with clients, at individual therapy. That is the most effective way of teaching the AEQ Method®, and it changes the awareness, movement organization/regulation, control and efficiency in a short period, all that is needed to deal with the strong SMA and more severe problems of the clients. Teacher of the AEQ Method® Level 3 and 4 has enough knowledge to help eliminate most of the conditions that result from the loss of conscious sensory-motor control. It helps accelerate rehabilitation and recovery even after serious injuries at both physical and emotional levels.

Overview of the Level 2 seminar
In addition to reviewing the principles of neurophysiology, physics, thermodynamics, assessments of somatic reflexes from the clients’ postures and movement, and situations related to the teaching of the AEQ exercises® and the challenges they face in teaching, participants will learn to employ additional AEQ exercises®. They aim to improve specific conditions such as sciatica, neck and shoulder pain, iliosacral joint dysfunction, pain in legs, knees and hips and back pain, as well as active integration of the AEQ Method® at improving the efficiency of movement of the athletes.
At the 5-day intensive course, participants will continue with education, which will include:
and how to combine them to improve the senses, control, order and effectiveness of movement and muscle control.
and clients with stronger and longer-lasting chronic pains and problems, to perform the exercises by applying palm pressures on certain parts of the body, which increases the sensory perception with laying and palm pressures on certain parts of the body correctly, thus actively increasing sensory perception.
contracted, tense muscles that cannot be loosened up.
mode of the autonomic nervous system and teach a client to activate the parasympathetic mode when appropriate.
they do not feel their bodies, or have control over them, and have a feeling of being helpless and alienated from them.
during expansion and compression for a pleasant feeling and gaining a sense and understanding of how to get more with less energy.
of movement, thus helping to eliminate recurrent injuries due to the forced body positions (posture) at work, or a volume of repetitive movements in sports.
the cause of which is emotional trauma, and childhood experiences, how to understand these patterns and change them through the individual learning of movements and through understanding the connection between senses, feelings and the state of the muscles. That skill makes it easier for a client to make changes to these patterns as well as enables personal growth. Thus, allowing the transformation through the self- research, or in the case of severe trauma, in cooperation with psychotherapists who work according to the EMDR method.

The second-level seminar emphasizes explanations of the principles even more, as well as connections and consequences of non-compliance with physical laws on the life syntrophy and the quality of life and movement.

Preperations for the seminar
Participants are expected to come to the seminar ready to teach a 60-minute AEQ workshop based on their experiences, using the knowledge of the AEQ first-level education. This will allow them to improve their management techniques and deepen their understanding of exercises of the AEQ Method®, how can the AEQ exercises be used to help people with various muscular pain conditions and thus learn how to improve the quality of their lives. Participants will also learn a lot about muscle control and its use in enhancing physical performance in sports and work, and the impact of emotions on chronic muscular constriction in the body.
An integral part of AEQ Level 2 teacher training is writing homework reports, which you will receive at appropriate intervals after the seminar and, in combination with the audio recordings of the seminar, gives teachers a greater depth of perception of the areas covered by the seminar. This way, the seminar lasts for almost half a year and gives the teacher the time it takes to get to know themselves and thus understand others, helping them by learning the AEQ method.
Regularly handing in your homework is a condition if one wishes to register for the 3rd level seminar.
