Emotional Fitness Class
For a healthier, happier, more engaged you
NEW! Learn Shape of Emotion (the process used in the Emotional Fitness Class) for yourself by taking our online course: Emotional Mastery for a Better Life.
Emotions are inextricably linked to physical well being, the strength of the immune system and the ability to heal and remain healthy.
When emotions are expressed the biochemicals they live in flow freely and the body remains whole.
When emotions are stuck, repressed, or denied the neural pathways get blocked affecting our behaviour and biology.
Being emotionally unfit impacts our mental alertness, decision making ability, leadership capability and relational competence.
Emotional fitness sits at the foundation of physical, psychological, and relational wellbeing. Stuck, unpleasant, difficult, negative emotions stand in the way of being able to thrive, they distract focus and fill up one’s valuable time with unresourceful behaviours.
Very few of us have been taught about emotions or how to appropriately express, manage and regulate our emotions. You may sometimes feel that you are at the mercy of your emotions, when in fact you can master your emotions. One way of doing this is to take an Emotional Fitness Class and feel the difference.
An Emotional Fitness Class is like yoga for your insides and comprises three components that, done separately or altogether, will leave you feeling relieved, refreshed and resourced.
First there is the opportunity to release and let go of a difficult or negative emotion of your choice such as stress, anxiety, depression, sadness or anger. You don’t need to name or label your emotion, you just need to feel it. It won’t be for long. You will be given an introduction to the process called Shape of Emotion and guided through the dial down to get relief from what you came to the class with.
You will next be offered the opportunity to open and embrace a positive or supportive emotion you wish to have more of, again using Shape of Emotion. This will leave you feeling warm and nourished, ready to take on whatever you have in store for the rest of your day or night.
Breathwork, mindfulness and bodyfulness are all incorporated in the process called Shape of Emotion that is used in the first two components.
In the third part you will be invited to seed a quality that is lacking in the world. Again this is something of your choice that you feel the world could do more of. You will be guided through a powerful visualisation exercise to positively impact your environment.
The class is a gentle, personal experience to feel relief from your emotional strain.
Whether you are a man or a woman, young or old, you will benefit from completing this class today, tomorrow and whenever you can include it in your programme to support your mental health and emotional fitness.
Yours in feeling

—Rachel
I have been experiencing a lot of stress chronically, but a particular distress was an abrupt feeling of loneliness that started around the middle of the year. I must say a big thank you for all the work you do. I was pleasantly surprised at how helpful this class was almost immediately.
—Apongho
I have frequently attended the online Emotional Fitness Classes to deal with a variety of emotions that have come up. And they do come up, (we are complex beings!) ranging from fear of failure to uncertainty of myself operating in a men’s world to just overcoming being distracted by day to day chores.
—Michaela
My coach recommended that I attend the Emotional Fitness Class. The way the sessions were conducted had synergy and had a very seamless transaction. The instructions were clear. The exercises left me feeling happier than I have been in the past months.
—Thulebona
I really enjoyed the class. I have been going through a lot of stress and I tend to overthink a lot. The guided talk helps a lot and to be honest I felt a difference in my life. So thank you for doing this... you really are helping.
