A WORKSHOP FOR CONTROL UNDER PHYSICAL AND MENTAL LOAD
STRENGTH & STABILITY
Control under physical and mental load
Most people train harder, but not with more control. Under load, the first things to break down are stability, clarity, and execution.
This 2.5-hour workshop helps you understand how your body performs under load — and how your internal state directly shapes that performance. The session follows a clear arc:
Experience x Understand x Apply x Integrate.
This is for you if you:
train regularly or are new to strength training but feel a lack of control, progress or structure
lose precision under effort or build unnecessary tension
want to understand how body and nervous system work together
want to set smart goals and actually stick to them
You will not just learn concepts, but actually experience what controlled movement and regulation feel like.
BODY
In the first part, we work with fundamental movement patterns and structured strength exercises. Each movement is broken down and guided with precision, so you develop a clear understanding of position, control, and stability.
Focus on alignment, tension, and controlled execution
Learn how to apply load safely and effectively
MIND
In this section, we connect your physical experience with mental principles and how your nervous system responds to stress.
You will learn how to set realistic goals and stay consistent, how to remain centered and present under load, and how to understand and actively regulate stress.
Realistic goal setting and consistency
Staying centered and present
Understanding and regulating stress
INTEGRATION
In the final part, everything comes together. You apply the principles in structured sequences and learn how to coordinate strength, breath, and focus.
The goal is not just better movement, but a clear sense of control even under pressure.

MEET THE INSTRUCTORS
MARIE-THERESE BURKA
CO-FOUNDER
Marie is a mental coach, personal trainer, and integrative health coach. With a background in sports and nearly three decades of experience, she has been exposed to a wide range of approaches to movement.
Over the years, the importance of truly connecting body and mind has become increasingly relevant to her. What once focused on performance or appearance evolved into something far more personal. No longer about looking good in the mirror, but about cultivating real strength and resilience, inside and out.
Marie guides participants in setting meaningful goals, unlocking their potential, navigating challenging life phases, and dissolving limiting beliefs.
She consciously stepped away from corporate C-level roles to pursue self-employment and turn her passion for health into her everyday life. Within THE PRACTICE, she encourages participants to take responsibility for their inner alignment and step into their full potential.
PAUL STURM
CO-FOUNDER
Paul is a sports scientist, strength coach, and fitness and health trainer. With an academic background in sports science and hands-on experience in both personal and group training settings, he developed a grounded understanding of how the body adapts to load, stress, and movement over time.
After facing prolonged health challenges himself, his perspective on training shifted. What became central was the ability to move through life with more ease, to feel capable, resilient, and physically independent.
Paul helps participants understand the core pillars that make movement reliable, adaptable, and sustainable.
His work focuses on reducing fear and strengthening trust in the body. Training is simplified rather than made more complex, offering a clear framework for both self-directed trainees and those seeking a new perspective or a deeper understanding of their body.
