Yoga mit Nina Bettermann Sonntags 17 Uhr — 18:30 Uhr 90 Minuten intensive, ausgiebige Asana-Praxis mit wechselndem Schwerpunkt sowie Meditation stehen immer auf dem Programm. Unterrichtet wird die Stunde von Jivamuktilehrerin Nina Bettermann. Unterrichtssprache ist Deutsch - English if required!! Nina Bettermann Nina ist 800-Stunden zertifizierte Jivamukti-Lehrerin. 2005 besuchte sie ihre erste Yogastunde. Was anfangs als Ausgleich zum stressigen Studium gedacht war, wurde schnell zur unverzichtbaren täglichen Praxis. Nachdem sie verschiedene Yogastile ausprobiert hatte, fand sie schließlich im Jivamukti Yoga ihr Zuhause. Daher entschloss sie sich im Winter 2010, nach dem Abschluss ihres Pharmaziestudiums, das Jivamukti Yoga Teacher Training mit Sharon Gannon, David Life Patrick Broome und Yogeswari zu absolvieren. 2014 folgte das 800hrs-Apprenticeship bei ihrer Mentorin Vera. Seitdem unterrichtet Nina, neben ihrer Tätigkeit als Apothekerin, in mehreren Berliner Yogastudios. Dabei ist ihr aber die eigene tägliche Praxis weiterhin heilig. Denn nur was man selber erlebt hat, kann man auch authentisch weitergeben und unterrichten :) The balance recommended: Donation-Drop-In 13-16€ USC Members Welcome: USC M (4x), L (8x), XL (8x) Studiocard Price: https://www.yogaatlobeblock.de/preise

Mental Health, how do you understand it? How can you improve it? How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp. This group is hosted by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

"The SOB is a ballet dancer. He’s the best ballet dancer that ever lived, and if I get a good chance I’ll kill him with my bare hands." - W.C. Fields In *City Lights*, Chaplin's Little Tramp meets a blind girl selling flowers who mistakes him for a wealthy man. When he learns that an operation may restore her sight, he sets off to earn the money she needs to have the surgery. He also befriends an alcoholic millionaire who only recognizes him when he is drunk. When the blind girl and her grandmother fall behind in the rent and face eviction, he tries working and even enters a boxing competition to raise the money they need. Regarded as Chaplin's masterpiece, *City Lights* has been ranked on more than seventeen "100 greatest movies of all time" lists. Orson Welles cited it as his favorite picture. *City Lights* is available for streaming on Amazon Prime, Hulu, HBOMax, Tubi and PlutoTV. The Columbus Library lists three copies on blu-ray and eight copies on DVD. Watch the movie on your own, then join us upstairs at East Market to discuss the film. If you want more, *Unknown Chaplin* is a three-episode lost-footage documentary available on Youtube. It covers his time on *City Lights* beginning at the twenty-six minute mark of episode two: https://youtu.be/f8960Uc15hI?t=1558
