# Welcome to Uncommon Club ​Uncommon Club runs curated experiences across Berlin that invite you to step out of autopilot and into something new. Tickets via [luma.com/uncommonclub](luma.com/uncommonclub) *** ## ​Overview ​**Location:** SHA-LA Studios Waterfront **Language:** English **Group size:** 40 people **Guide**: Cristina **Event Manager**: Jonel *** ## ​This session ​This is an open Uncommon Club session focused on movement and expression. Guided, music-led and open-ended, without strict choreography, mirrors or pressure to perform. ​You’ll be invited to move in your own way, take small risks, or simply observe and feel what’s there. The form is loose by design. The space is held and welcoming. ​No experience needed. Come as you are. Join in, take a step back, or ease your way in. *** ## ​Today's guide ​Cristina is a Berlin-based movement facilitator working at the intersection of music, embodied awareness, and emotional expression. ​She creates guided group spaces where people are invited to reconnect with their bodies through rhythm, presence, and gentle prompts, without choreography or performance pressure. Her approach is calm, intuitive, and accessible, meeting people where they are.  # ​Practical notes * ​**Clothing**: Comfortable clothing recommended. We’ll be indoors; bring a warm layer. * ​**Beverages**: Light beverages provided (please eat beforehand). You might want to bring your own water bottle.

It felt expressive and grounding at the same time, like I could just be myself.” > — **Michael from Germany**  ​If you want to explore more reflections from past participants, you can find them here: → \*\*[www.uncommon.club ](https://www.uncommon.club/)\*\*or on our **[Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/uncommonclub.berlin/)** *** ## ​Cancellation, reimbursement & flexibility ​We want booking an Uncommon Club session to feel **easy, human and low-risk**. * ​You can cancel or transfer your ticket up to 48 hours before the session for a full refund. * ​If something unexpected comes up closer to the date, reach out, we’ll always aim to find a fair solution. * ​If we can reassign your spot to someone on the waitlist, we’re happy to refund you. ​If you join a session and need to step out early for a serious or personal reason, please let one of the facilitators or our support team know.

Playful, embodied and surprising. ​**Phase 4️⃣ — Reflection** We slow things down and let the experience settle. ​**Phase 5️⃣ — Connection** A clear closing moment, with space to linger.. or leave quietly.  ## ​Frequently Asked Questions ​**❓ Who is Uncommon Club for?** Uncommon Club is for any adult. You don't need to be a performer or social butterfly, just someone open to exploring horizons beyond the everyday. ​**❓ What if I realize I don't want to participate?** That's fine. A "no" is as bold as a "yes". You can always step back or observe instead of joining in, and this will be explained and emphasised at the start of every experience. ​**❓ I struggle with strangers. Will it be awkward?** Our guides are trained in spaceholding and use a unique event process to make connection flow easily and naturally. It's structured so that everyone feels included without pressure. ​For more FAQ's, please visit our website: [https://www.uncommon.club/](https://www.uncommon.club/) *** ## ​Safety, boundaries & wellbeing * ​Participation is always voluntary. * ​You can opt out of any exercise at any time. * ​Clear boundaries are held throughout. * ​An empathy angel is present, someone you can approach anytime if you’d like to talk. * ​We recommend leaving a little space before and after the session.

Diversity is the fabric of our experiences. * ​Please read more in our [Community Guidelines](https://www.uncommon.club/community-guidelines). *** ## Disclaimer * ​Uncommon Club sessions are creative group experiences, not therapy. * ​If you’re currently going through an acute or overwhelming personal situation, we recommend sitting this one out and seeking appropriate support. * ​If you’re unsure whether this session is right for you, feel free to reach out via hello@uncommon.club.

**Combining a variety of TopRock break dance moves in the format of HIIT training, this class will be like no other you have taken! Specifically created with non-break dancers in mind, this class is fun, engaging and totally beginner friendly!** 🤸‍♀️ *What exactly is TopRock you might be asking?* Toprock is the **standup part of breakdance**. When break-dancers are showing their skills, they will often start with toprock. Beginners often find toprock to be easier than other elements of [breaking](http://%5Bhttps//www.mygrooveguide.com/dance-info/breaking/what-is-breaking%5D(https://www.mygrooveguide.com/dance-info/breaking/what-is-breaking) "breaking"), because it is done standing up. So this will be a great introduction to breaking for beginners or those wishing to expand their breakdance skills. **Taught by 3x Breakdance World Champion and Choreographer of Flying Dreams show at Wintergarten, Bboy Lou.Ease of the Flying Steps! He has also worked with contemporary dance companies such as Akram Khan Company, Wang Ramirez and Constanza Marcras / Dorkypark.** **📋 Agenda:** * *Check in will begin 15 minutes prior to class*.

This is a slow yoga class that guides practitioners into an embodied practice using somatic tools and yogic relaxation techniques\*\*.\*\* Suitable for all levels, this class brings forth the tradition of yoga with a contemporary twist. By activating the parasympathetic nervous system, this practice supports physical, emotional, and mental relaxation. It’s an ideal way to unwind after a long day, reconnect with your inner world, and cultivate a sense of calm and clarity. You’ll be guided through a nurturing sequence in a supportive space, with the intention of helping you feel restored, centred, and held. This class is held in English.

Chitta Walks is for people whose days move fast, while the mind never fully lands. Thoughts keep looping even when nothing is urgent. The body moves, but attention is elsewhere. Over time, this disconnect drains clarity and ease. This walk is a simple reset. We meet in Berlin’s Tiergarten and walk at a gentle pace. Parts of the walk are in silence, with light guidance and a few short prompts. The walk itself is the practice, bringing body and mind back into the same moment. No apps. No performance. Just a clear space to slow down and notice what is happening. If you want to slow down without withdrawing from life, join a Chitta Walk. ✨ **What to expect (approx. 90 minutes):** * A short arrival and orientation * A guided silent walk (phones off, no conversation) * One concise science-based impulse on attention or stress * Optional reflection in pairs or small groups * A simple takeaway or experiment for daily life 🚶**Who this is for:** * Professionals, creatives, and people in transition. * People who feel mentally busy and want more clarity and balance. * Those curious about mindfulness, but grounded and practical. * Anyone comfortable with silence and gentle self observation. 🔔 **Practical notes:** * Duration: 60-90 minutes * Wear comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothing * No prior experience needed * Group size is limited to keep the space quiet and focused 🧭 **Facilitator:** My name is Partha Sarathi, you can call me PS. I have lived in Berlin for over 12 years. With a background in physics and materials science, my interest in mindfulness grew through personal experience with stress and health challenges. I facilitate the space and structure of the walk, inviting shared exploration rather than instruction. 🤔 **Why Chitta Walks?** Chitta is a Sanskrit word referring to the mind or field of awareness, used here in a practical, non-religious sense. Chitta Walks is about noticing how the mind works by slowing down and walking together. Mindful walking makes thought patterns visible in real time, while moving and sensing in the world. The name points to a simple capacity: noticing what is happening in the mind without immediately trying to fix, judge, or optimize it. 🌿 **Possible effects:** A calmer nervous system. Clearer attention. A felt sense of being more present in your body. Subtle insights into how your mind reacts under everyday conditions. A quieter, more grounded way of moving through the city. **Come as you are. Walk. Notice. Leave with a little more space inside.**
