About Obstacle.love, Yopada.com and Tadeusz Szewczyk (Tad Chef)

I Am/You are the universe/As above so below. Call me Tad. Blogger, vegan, ecstatic dancer, dances with walls. Join me! Yopada.com

Why? For dancing with the walls and eliciting flow states beyond the mind or simply embracing obstacles in general.

How can I help you? With yopada flow movement or parkour!

I can show you yopada or teach you parkour. I can also make you overcome your fears and stay calm despite challenges.

You may discover that obstacles are opportunities – both on the street and in real life.

You can start literally “dancing with (the) walls” with me.

Why? My practice is also heavily influenced by conscious or ecstatic dance and transformative movement techniques.

Let’s see what others you are more likely to know say about me:

“I’ve seen you dancing. You dance better than me.”

Itay Ganot, Modern Mystic Arts – during the The Field on freedom.

“thanks for your courage brother!”

Naftali of Meditanzionbelow my post on grief+gratitude sessions

“Thank you again for the training… had me truly exhausted for peaceful sleep tonight” [translated from German]

Nora Mansmann, parkour/movement teacher at Flux – after Yopada session

You may change your mindset from using the path of least resistance to choosing the obstacle as the path.

Let’s move just for fun and to improve mental, physical and even spiritual strength and well-being.

I live in Berlin, the capital of Germany.

You can find me and train parkour with me where Kreuzberg, Neukölln and Treptow meet.

It’s right where the Berlin Wall used to be for decades.

Overcoming walls thus is a great tradition in Berlin. Why not embrace it now?

I did when I was in my mid thirties and suffering from

  • obesity
  • weakness
  • pain

and chronic migraines. That was more than a decade ago.

Then I trained parkour for a 12 years until I got really sick due to jawbone inflammation.

So I had to evolve my practice to make it easier and more rewarding faster. That’s how my unique type of flow movement evolved!

Now (at 50) I still fit into the same pant size I did as a teenager again.

The image above shows me at 48 after an exhausting 2h training.
