In this session, we dive into Pranayama, (an ancient practice to discover the flow of energy within) and the power of conscious breathing, which is one of the most important aspects of the original yogic lifestyle. On these Tuesday evenings, we do more than just a breathwork session: this is an opportunity to explore a true harmony between our breath & the mind - body connection. We begin with a 15-minute chest-opening yoga sequence to gently expand our lungs and prepare for deeper breathing (no need for gym clothes though, just an open mind). Then, we explore different breathing techniques designed for self-awareness, relaxation, and energy flow. These classes are designed to help you discover how breath can be a tool to balance, energize, and center yourself. To close, we immerse in a short yet profound "silent concert", a meditative sound journey where 174 Hz sound waves or white noise guide us into a state of deep harmony. Whether emotions are light or heavy, thoughts are clear or clouded, this is a space to simply be and find some peace.

This Yoga & Brunch experience is an invitation to pause, reconnect, and enjoy a few hours away from the usual rhythm of the week. Join us for a morning of: 🧘‍♀️ Flow yoga 🎶 Live handpan music 🥣 Vegan brunch ✨ A calm, inspiring space in the heart of the city We begin with a 75-minute Flow yoga practice, guided by Ivett and accompanied by Richard’s live handpan music. In this gentle, continuous flow, the breath leads the movement — creating a natural rhythm where the practice becomes a form of moving meditation. Ivett has been practicing yoga for over ten years, with a background in modern-contemporary dance. In her classes, the connection between breath and movement is at the heart of the experience. “For me, yoga is not just physical exercise — it’s a path back to myself.” Richard’s handpan music responds to the rhythm of the practice, shaping a soft, immersive atmosphere. “My connection to music comes from presence — from an inner silence that slowly takes shape as sound.” Brunch after the practice After the class, from 11:15, we gather for a nourishing brunch by Smoothie Sanctuary. You can choose from freshly prepared shots, juices, smoothies or smoothie bowls made from premium ingredients. Participation fee 12,000 HUF / person ✨ Ticket for two available: Come with a friend, partner, or someone you’d like to share this experience with — select the 2-person option during booking 20,000 HUF / 2 people (instead of 24,000 HUF) Registration Spaces are limited, therefore advance booking is required.

A Yoga & Brunch esemény egy meghívás arra, hogy kiszakadj a hétköznapok ritmusából, lelassulj, és kapcsolódj önmagaddal. Csatlakozz hozzánk egy ilyen reggelre: 🧘‍♀️ flow jóga 🎶 élő handpan zene 🥣 vegán brunch ✨ nyugodt, inspiráló tér a város szívében A program egy 75 perces Flow jógaórával indul, amelyet Ivett vezet, Richárd élő handpan játékával kísérve. A lágy, folyamatos áramlásban a légzés vezeti a mozdulatokat, így a gyakorlás szinte mozgásos meditációvá válik. Ivett több mint tíz éve gyakorolja a jógát, modern-kortárs táncos háttérrel. Az óráin a légzés és a mozgás összekapcsolása áll a középpontban. „Számomra a jóga nem csupán testmozgás — hanem egy út vissza önmagamhoz.” Richárd handpan játéka a gyakorlás ritmusára reagálva teremti meg a tér hangulatát. „A zenével való kapcsolatom a jelenlétből születik: egy belső csendből, ami lassan külső hangokká formálódik.” Brunch a gyakorlás után A jógaóra után, 11:15-től közösen folytatjuk a délelőttöt egy tápláló brunch-csal a Smoothie Sanctuary jóvoltából. Frissen, prémium alapanyagokból készült shot-ok, juice-ok, smoothie-k vagy smoothie bowlok közül választhatsz. Részvételi díj 12.000 Ft / fő ✨ Páros jegy elérhető: Érkezz baráttal, pároddal vagy bárkivel, akivel megosztanád ezt az élményt foglaláskor válaszd a 2 fős opciót, így 24.000 Ft helyett 20.000 Ft-ért tudtok részt venni Jelentkezés A helyek száma korlátozott, ezért előzetes foglalás szükséges.

We are back. And yes, we're keeping the Friday tradition alive! For this event, we’re cutting through the noise. In a world where everyone is shouting for attention, being "good" isn't enough anymore, you have to be **unforgettable**. This time, we’re dissecting the art of becoming truly memorable, both on stage and on the screen. This isn’t about cheap marketing hacks or shallow virality. It’s about understanding the core mechanics of how to make your ideas stick, how to resonate deeply with your audience, and how to scale a brand that commands the room. **The Agenda & What You'll Learn:** Two expert angles, one goal: Make sure you never blend into the background again. **17:45:** Arrive, grab a drink, and connect. **18:10 – 18:15: Event Kickoff & Intro.** Setting the stage for a night of high-impact learning. **18:15 – 18:30: How to be a Memorable Presenter (by Alex MacIntosh).** Ever wonder why some talks echo in your mind for days, while others fade before the speaker even leaves the stage? In this hyper-focused session, Alex breaks down the exact anatomy of "sticky ideas" and how to weaponize them in your presentations. You’ll discover the psychological hooks that guarantee your audience leans in, pays attention, and actually acts on your core message. Walk away with an actionable framework to ensure your next pitch is unforgettable. **18:30 – 18:45: How to Build a Memorable Online Presence (by Chris Parker).** "Build it and they will come" is a lie in today's crowded digital landscape.

**Connected Westerville Night of Networking** *April Edition: The Introduction Economy* You've been to the networking events. You've done the small talk. Collected the cards. Forgotten the names. And walked out feeling like you just wasted two hours of your life. The problem isn't you. It's the format. Most networking events put you in a room and tell you to figure it out. So everyone defaults to elevator pitches and business talk, and nothing real gets built. Here's the truth about networking that most people miss: Your network isn't just who you know. It's who thinks of you when they're talking to someone else. *That's* The Introduction Economy. And it only works when relationships are real. There's a reason people who come once keep coming back. It starts with seven minutes that feel nothing like networking. Then we open it up. Free networking. More conversations. More momentum. This is a room full of corporate professionals, entrepreneurs, business owners, creatives, and career builders in the Westerville and Columbus area. The mix is the magic. You might never do business with everyone you meet tonight. But someone in this room will think of *you.* **By name**. So, the next time someone needs exactly what you do, you get the recommendation. **April 14th. RSVP now.** **When:** Tuesday\, April 14th \| 6:15 PM \-\- 8:00 PM **Where:** Vineyard Community Center \| 6000 Cooper Rd\, Westerville\, OH 43081

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge. **Abstract** GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise. We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior.
