Self-defense Workshop - not just on a physical level!
Because self-defense isn't about body strength and it doesn't start when you have to physically fight back!
What is it about?
- Taking care of your safety - mental, physical and emotional
- Knowing and respecting your boundaries
- Recognising and addressing abuse
- Standing up for yourself
- Saying NO
- And if it comes to it: to know how to react and retrieve yourself from dangerous situations → without having to be stronger than your agressor.
Agenda
This workshop is built on theory and lots of practice, discussions, role playing and self-defense moves.

What to bring:

All materials for the exercises will be provided.
Note: This is a SAFE-SPACE
I do not make or allow videos during the workshop so that everyone can let go into the process and to ensure everybody’s right to privacy.
I recommend you arrive 10-20 minutes before the session starts.
- To change clothes
- To make yourself comfortable in the room
- To let go of the stress of the day, from the transportation, or of anything that might have happened during the day.
This gives you the opportunity to “arrive”: to start bringing your focus here and now - to get ready to enjoy and make the most out of the session.
"Der Selbstverteidigungskurs mit Pilar war sehr intuitiv, einfühlsam mit einer therapeutischen Sichtweise. Achtsamkeit, Körperbewußtsein, Stärkung des Selbstbewusstseins wurden vermittelt, um potentielle Täter abzuschrecken, aber auch verschiedene Techniken zum Selbstschutz im Notfall wurden geübt. Vielen Dank dafür."
