Interview with Dennis R. – Mindful athlete, teacher of balance, quiet force

Who are you, and what shaped you into the person you are today?
I’m Dennis R., a personal coach and former corporate manager. For many years my life was built around deadlines, meetings and flights. From the outside it looked successful, inside I was running on empty. What shaped me wasn’t ambition, but the decision to stop. To listen, to breathe, to rebuild from the inside out.

What experiences have marked you in a way you wouldn’t want to miss?
The moment I realized that health is not the reward, it’s the foundation. Meditation, conscious eating and consistent training changed everything. I started treating my body as my ally, not as a machine to push harder. That shift gave me energy, focus and calm I had never known before. It became clear that I wanted to help others feel the same.

How do you decide where to invest your energy?
Energy is sacred. I invest it in what nourishes, not depletes. If something feels forced, it’s not for me. I choose things that create long-term clarity: movement, mindfulness, real food and good people.

What does real presence mean to you?
Presence is alignment, when mind, body and soul are moving in the same direction. It’s not about being loud or visible. It’s about being awake in every moment, fully there, grounded and aware.

When do you feel most in tune with yourself? 
Early mornings. When the city is still quiet and I move, breathe, meditate. That’s when everything slows down and I can feel energy return. That’s where balance begins.

How would you describe your style, beyond trends?
Clean, grounded, natural. I don’t wear things to impress, I wear what feels right. Monochrome pieces that reflect calm, not chaos.

What does “less but better” mean to you?
It means cutting the noise in food, in work, in thoughts. Less sugar, less stress, less distraction. More movement, more nature, more peace. That’s where quality of life begins.

What do you wish you saw more of in the world?
People who take care of themselves, not out of vanity but out of respect. We take care of cars, phones and houses, but forget our minds and bodies. That needs to change.

If everything had to fit in one sentence, what would yours be?
Nourish your body. Quiet your mind. Lead from clarity.
