WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
See, understand, and apply effectively.
At the tsar Academy, you’ll learn to observe movements more closely and recognize patterns. Why does a particular movement require so much strength? What prevents us from breathing freely? Why does the body keep compensating in similar ways? And what changes when you provide more support, guide a movement differently, or use a tsar tool?
Step by step, you'll develop an understanding of which prompt is appropriate when and what impact it can have.
It's just as much about recognizing what's already working well—and how existing skills can be further developed.
Observe → Understand → Choose → Apply
YOUR LEARNING JOURNEY
Step by step—you decide how far you want to go.
You'll start with a shared foundation and then deepen your knowledge through hands-on experience.
You don't need any prior knowledge of medicine, anatomy, therapy, or exercise. tsar Basic starts with the basics and guides you step by step into our understanding of the body.
Whether you want to learn tsar just for yourself or work with it professionally later as a Certified tsar Trainer is entirely up to you.

HOW TO LEARN
Supported both online and in person.
All course content is available online. You'll learn at your own pace using videos, handouts, and hands-on exercises.
You'll try out what you've learned on your own and practice applying it with other people as well. If you have any questions, Sonja and Karin will be there to help you online or by phone.
Your access grows as you progress in your learning journey.
Content is unlocked step by step, tailored to your current level of training.
FOR WHOM?
For anyone who wants to take a closer look.
You don't need any medical, therapeutic, or athletic background. Maybe you just want to understand your own body better. Maybe you already work with people. Or maybe you'd like to teach tsar professionally yourself someday.
For yourself
You want to understand your own body better—not just do exercises. Learn to recognize the connections between posture, breathing, tension, and movement, and to be more mindful of your body.
Physical Activity
Whether it's yoga, Pilates, or other forms of exercise: Gain a better understanding of what your body needs for a particular movement or posture—and where it tends to avoid, compensate, or hold on unnecessarily.
Fitness & Sports
Gain a deeper understanding of how movement occurs and where unnecessary energy is lost. This will allow you to tailor your training more effectively, better understand movement patterns, and develop your performance more efficiently.
Coaching & Support
Incorporate the body as an additional dimension in change processes. Physical reactions can reveal what is often difficult to grasp through language alone.
Therapy & Manual Therapy
Expand your existing practice to include a view of the connections throughout the entire body. You’ll gain insight not only into individual regions but also into their role in tension, posture, and movement.
Holistic Methods
It complements existing approaches, such as kinesiology or other body-oriented methods, by offering a new perspective on tension, movement, and their interplay. This allows you to contextualize your existing observations even more comprehensively.

Among other things, you'll learn:
-
Becoming more aware of tension and postural control
-
Using Help Yourself Tools Effectively
-
to work with bearings, contact, tension, and compression
-
to consider different parts of the body in relation to one another
