What Clients Say

"Françoise was very patient and calm. Taught us (2 complete beginners) all of the basics that we needed to know to set us up for skiing solo without her for the rest of our trip. Highly recommend her if you’d like to learn through an instructor that will make the lesson enjoyable."

THE SCIENCE BEHIND PISTA

TRAIN FOR OPTIMUM PHYSICAL AND MENTAL BALANCE

2e8da8_2e4c88235bfb4eb5a07271682b42f777_mv2.jpg

All programs use a method that is designed from 45 years of research by psychologists, scientists and specialists in sports. Sound and Vibration are applied in training the players to enhance memory. 

 

PISTA employed Oster's research about binaural beats into the PISTA device to generate two tones, which the brain combines and alters into a single tone in the auditory process. And that resulted to PISTA Sound Technology which results to brain entrainment to eliminate unwanted and destructive thoughts. Neuroplasticity is also improved which is the brain's ability to modify, change and adapt to functions of daily life.
