Rires & papote
**Viens booster tes défenses immunitaires, libérer tes endorphines et remettre ton corps en mouvement avec le yoga du rire.**
1 heure de partage, de bonne humeur et de lâcher prise 😄
Pas besoin de connaître des postures de yoga. Seuls des exercices de rire (rire sans raison) et de respiration sont pratiqués.
On commencera par une petite présentation et une mise en mouvement : réveil musculaire, étirements et respirations pour se mettre dans l'ambiance. Ensuite on passera par les fameux exercices de rire nécessaires au relâchement des tensions (pendant lesquels on force le rire jusqu'à ce qu'il apparaisse naturellement) et on finira par la méditation du rire, grand moment de fous rires collectifs.
Avant de clôturer, une petite relaxation pour intégrer tous les bénéfices du rire.
**Et parce que le rire crée du lien, on reste après l'atelier pour papoter autour d'un verre 😊**
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
🧑🏫 Format : atelier collectif, suivi d'un temps libre de papotage
🙂 Animatrice : Valentina Stan, exploratrice des possibles et animatrice de yoga du rire. Avec son association Accent vers le haut, elle organise des événements qui créent du lien et font du bien.
⏰ Déroulé :
\> 19h \- accueil autour d'un verre chez Kawaa
\> 19h30 \- 20h30 \- atelier yoga du rire
\> 20h30 \- 21h30 \- papotage libre selon affinités
Matériel : prévoir une tenue confortable, une bouteille d'eau, ton propre tapis de yoga si tu en as un (sinon une serviette ou un paréo pour la partie allongée).

✖ Le yoga Vinyasa c'est quoi? Vinyasa est un terme Sanskrit qui signifie synchronisation du mouvement sur la respiration. Il est composé de deux racines : « nyasa » qui signifie « placer » et « vi » qui signifie « d'une manière spécifique ». On définit donc le yoga Vinyasa comme un enchaînement de mouvements dynamiques, initié et harmonisé par la respiration. Le yoga vinyasa est issu du yoga Ashtanga, qui lui consiste à exécuter une série de postures dans un ordre bien précis. À la différence de l'Ashtanga, le yoga Vinyasa est plus libre et créatif : il n'impose aucune série de mesures. Les enchaînements sont le fruit de l'expérience acquise par l'enseignant et sont adaptables aux besoins de chacun.

👣 **A mindful walk along the Coulée Verte**
After five beautiful Offline Walks, we're back for a 6th edition, in the heart of spring. A slow, social walk along the Coulée Verte René-Dumont, an elevated green path winding above the city.
This walk is an invitation to move gently, notice the city, and reconnect — with yourself first, then with others.
**How it will unfold**
We'll meet at the intersection of Avenue Daumesnil and Rue de Lyon, where the Coulée Verte begins. From there, we'll head out on a silent walk along this former railway line, now transformed into a lush, elevated garden floating above the Parisian rooftops.
Time to slow down, breathe in the greenery, and let the city hum quietly beneath you.
About halfway through, we'll stop for a coffee (as always), for a simple pause to recharge.
Then we'll do the rest of the path for the social leg of the walk: relaxed, open, and full of conversation).
As always, you're free to join each part in your own way.
**What to expect:**
👣 A silent walk to slow down and reconnect with yourself
☕ A coffee break to pause and recharge
💬 A social walk to connect naturally with others
🌿 A gentle elevated route through nature, right in the heart of Paris
🇫🇷 🇬🇧 French & English friendly — all our events are bilingual
**The program:**
16:00 \| Meet at the intersection of Avenue Daumesnil & Rue de Lyon \(32 Rue de Lyon\, 75012 Paris\)

Trails & Ales! Blendon Woods Metro Park / Forbidden Root Restaurant & Brewery
**History**
The history of [Blendon Woods Metro Park](https://www.metroparks.net/parks-and-trails/blendon-woods/) began long before its 1951 opening, rooted in a landscape of rugged ridges and deep ravines that made the land unsuitable for traditional farming. In 1945, a report proposing a metropolitan park system for Franklin County specifically highlighted these cliffs of Bedford Shale as some of the "wildest land in the vicinity". Following this recommendation, the recently formed park district purchased the first 229 acres in early 1949. Because the terrain was so uneven, developers had to cut a mile-and-a-half-long roadway through dense woods just to bring in heavy equipment. This initial preservation effort ensured that the mature second-growth hardwood forests remained largely untouched by the urban expansion spreading toward Westerville.
Opening day arrived on Labor Day, September 3, 1951, marking Blendon Woods as the second park in the Columbus and Franklin County Metro Parks system. The final push to open was a frantic race; the State Highway Department only finished the primary gravel access road four days before the gates opened. Early staff members, consisting of just four full-time employees, had to hand-dig pit toilets and learn construction skills on the fly to build the first picnic shelters. Despite the dusty conditions and limited facilities, the park was an immediate success, drawing massive crowds from across Central Ohio. By the end of the 1950s, annual visitation had already climbed to over 190,000 people.
As the surrounding suburbs grew in the 1960s, the park faced severe overcrowding that threatened its natural habitats. In response, Franklin County voters passed the first Metro Parks levy in 1960, providing the funds necessary for a decade of steady expansion. During this era, the park nearly doubled in size, growing from 264 acres to over 570 acres by 1968. Planners also addressed a critical water shortage by collaborating with the U.S. Soil and Conservation Service to build a lake in 1964. This body of water originally served as a temporary reservoir before its role shifted toward conservation and wildlife support.
The 1970s marked a transition toward the specialized wildlife and educational focus for which the park is known today. In 1971, the Walden Waterfowl Refuge was established around the 11-acre Thoreau Lake, creating a sanctuary that remains restricted to provide a quiet habitat for migratory birds. A formal nature center was also developed during this period, expanding on the guided Sunday walks that had been a park staple since the early 1950s. The park’s famous "Monarch Mansion" also became a prominent fixture, starting a long tradition of raising and releasing thousands of monarch butterflies each September. These initiatives cemented the park’s reputation as a premier destination for birders and nature enthusiasts.
In more recent decades, Blendon Woods has continued to modernize while maintaining its wilderness character. The 10-acre Natural Play Area was added in 2017, encouraging kids to explore the ravines and woods off-trail. This was followed by the opening of a $1.5 million inclusive playground in April 2025, designed to accommodate children of all physical abilities. The nature center also underwent major renovations to include immersive, three-dimensional exhibits and a new butterfly house. Today, the park encompasses 653 acres, preserving a unique geologic and biological corridor amidst the bustling Westerville and Northeast Columbus area.
**Map of the Park**
Here is a map of [Blendon Woods](https://www.metroparks.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/BLN_map_Inclusive-Playground-and-Butterfly-Trail_May-2025_1980px.png).
**Summary**
For this event, we will hike the Lake View, Hickory Ridge, Ripple Rock, Overlook, Brookside, and Sugarbush Trails. This sounds like a lot, but it will really be only a little over five miles. Blendon Woods has a few hills here and there, but it's not one of the more strenuous metro parks.
**Where We'll Meet**
We'll meet just in front of the Nature Center. This is about a mile into the park from the main entrance. You have to go past the Ranger Station and the Shadblow Reservable Area to get to it, so don't stop too early at the Ranger Station and get it confused with the Nature Center.
**After the Hike**
Afterward, we will head over to [Forbidden Root Restaurant & Brewery](https://forbiddenroot.com/restaurants/columbus-ohio/) at Easton for [drinks](https://forbiddenroot.com/restaurants/columbus-ohio/#dinner-menu) and [food](https://forbiddenroot.com/wp-content/uploads/Cbus-Food.pdf). We should be there by 5 if you can't make the hike and just want to join us for drinks.
The brewery's actual address is [4080 Worth Ave, Columbus, OH 43219](https://www.google.com/maps/place/4080+Worth+Ave,+Columbus,+OH+43219/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x88388a86d10b6619:0x4d42b470a5cf11d3?sa=X&ved=1t:242&ictx=111); however, I recommend pointing your GPS to the [Worth Garage](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Worth+Garage/@40.0542293,-82.9137962,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x88388b4df6082825:0x17582f0eccd9dda1!8m2!3d40.0542293!4d-82.9137962!16s%2Fg%2F11rzfvvv8b?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDQxNS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D) across the street. Parking in this garage is free as long as you're not on the first floor, and it is literally right next to the brewery.
Hoover Dam Hike
Join us for one of our favorite hikes this Tuesday (4/21/26) at 6:30 pm as we hike the Hoover Dam Scenic Trail, starting at the west end of the dam. This hike includes some paved paths/roads along with some dirt trails, with a few beautiful views of the reservoir. Join us for this 2 mile hike, finding us in the parking lot at the corner of Sunbury and Smoke Burr.
American Sign Language Beginners Meetup Group
We meet to learn and practice American Sign Language and to grow our familiarity with Deaf culture. Facilitated by hearing folks (with a connection to a professional interpreter) using Deaf-created content. People of all ASL skill levels are welcome! As we learn, we hope to connect more with the Deaf community in Central Ohio. Join us as you're able!
Come regularly or just once - whatever you're looking for! Each meetup will explore different topics related to ASL/Deaf culture, and will feature time to practice conversation with one another. Just bring yourself and a willingness to learn!
