MOVEMENT ENGINEER / CONSCIOUSNESS COACH (Or how I stopped trying to fix the world and started listening)

My name is Michał Maciaszek. For half my life, I was a goal-achieving machine. As a child – a gymnast under the strict regime of Legia Warszawa. As an adult – an IT engineer and a "high achiever" trapped in a corporate golden cage.

I had everything society considers "winning the game": a model by my side, a fast motorcycle, a downtown apartment, and a career. I was also 26 years old when I looked in the mirror and saw a stranger. Inside, there was silence. But not the calm, meditative kind. It was the silence of an empty room where no one lives.

HARD LANDING AND A NEW CODE

I did what any good engineer does when the system crashes. I performed a hard reset. I dropped everything. I bought a one-way ticket to Asia. For 3 years, I searched for the human user manual.

In the Shaolin monastery, I learned that discipline is not punishment, but freedom. In the Himalayas, I understood how small I am in the face of nature. On the mats of India and in therapy rooms, I learned the hardest art of all: feeling. I had to shatter my "ego" into pieces to reassemble myself, this time on my own terms. For the first time in my life, I allowed myself to cry, to make mistakes, to be – as I affectionately call it – an "Idiot" who is just discovering the world.

A GUIDE WITH SCARS IS A BETTER GUIDE

Why am I telling you this? After all, you’re looking for a trainer, not a confessor. I say this because I know what it feels like when the body is just a tool used to carry the head to meetings. I know how "grind culture" cuts us off from feeling. I know the taste of success that brings no joy.

Today, at 42, I am no longer just a muscle trainer. I am a translator. I combine Western engineering (biomechanics, anatomy, logic) with Eastern wisdom (mindfulness, breath, acceptance).

My goal is not to turn you into an acrobat (unless that’s what you want). My goal is to help you return to your body. So it stops being a prison full of pain and stiffness, and becomes a place where you actually want to live.

HOW DO I WORK? (THE ENGINEER'S METHOD)

I don’t practice magic. I rely on physics and psychology. I treat movement as a cure for modern lifestyle ailments – stress, sedentary life, and disconnection from emotions.

• Foundations: Rehabilitation and prevention (we fix the glitches).
• Expression: Movement, Yoga, Animal Flow (we teach the body new words).
• Performance: Acrobatics and Handstand (for those who want to fly).

If you are looking for someone who will just count your reps – that’s not me. But if you are looking for a partner to negotiate with your own body and mind – I invite you. Let's discover what you are truly capable of when you stop fighting yourself.
