It is noticeable that there is a great interest on the part of Bartz in being able to offer the highest possible quality in training. To achieve this, they occasionally go the famous extra mile"

"My head is making funny circles, my hands are learning to reach out, my feet are learning to jump off and balance. I am discovering possibilities that I had never seen or had long forgotten or had written off for myself. I learn rules and how to break them, which also sets thoughts in motion, small and big questions and ideas. This training makes strong, soft, attentive, courageous, thoughtful; alive."

Mareike Thies, Yoga Teacher, Movement Trainer

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Do I need a certain fitness or experience level to join the course?

No. We expect commitment to learn, not a certain skill level or former experiences.

If you have done Online Coaching with us or attended a Workshop before, it’s great, though!

What happens if I cannot join one of the workshops?

You can do it again next year.

I train in other things as well. Can I keep practicing them if I do the course?

Yes, if your time management allows that, of course.

Where do the workshops take place?

In Berlin, Germany.

Do I have to organize food and accommodation by myself?

Yes. We can help you with suggestions for where to stay.

What is the difference between your methods and Ido Portal?

Joseph spent a few thousand hours with Ido, and there are many similarities. Joseph has optimized many of the processes for his work, added approaches and material, and is looking at things more holistically through his Lebenspraxis approach.

Where did Joseph learn?

From Masters of their craft like Ido Portal, Martin Kilvady (dance), and Fighting Monkey, plus a lot of self-practice and research.
Many people that have been learning traditionally (sport-science, physiotherapy, etc.) are coming to us because of our fresh and not-seen-anywhere-else approaches.
We provide what the traditional state-learning system cannot offer. And several people have even stopped studying sport-science to learn a more hands-on approach from us.

What's included in the online library?

The comprehensive online library includes tons of material: practical training structures, theory, instructional videos, lessons, and more.
This library provides several years worth of training practice and learning resources that you can access throughout the program and beyond.

I would like to get on a payment plan longer than 12 Months so it’s easier for me to pay. Is that possible?

Yes, speak with us via e-mail at kontakt@josephbartz.de.
