🌳FREE YOGA CLASS IN THE PARK🌳

Hey there, fellow Berliners!!!
I’m excited to be restarting my regular yoga classes this summer - its gonna be an amazing experience to share together🧘‍♀️☀️

I'm hosting a FREE Hatha yoga class in the park, and you're invited! Come stretch, breathe, and soak up some good energy.
Ready to bend without the pretzel stress? Hatha yoga is all about the feel-good basics. We'll flow through poses at a pace that lets you actually breathe (imagine that!), building a sweet rhythm between your body and mind. It's like giving yourself a mini-massage from the inside out, leaving you feeling nicely stretched, a little stronger, and oh-so-relaxed. No fancy contortions required, just good, honest movement🧘

But wait, there's more! Think good chats, maybe coffee, and definitely the chance to meet some awesome new folks and maybe even make a friend or two🥰
No need to be a yoga pro – all levels are totally welcome. Just bring your mat (or a towel!), some comfy clothes, water, and your friendly self.

Let's enjoy some fresh air, gentle movement, and good company together!

Meeting point - Treptower park S bhan at 6 15pm. We shall start walking to the park and find a good spot at 6 25pm. We shall coordinate in the chat. Join this WhatsApp group for live location of the event or communicate https://chat.whatsapp.com/EeWxeuKLdaNGOZD2fLVuEa

Hi everyone. We'll meet and play a relaxed game of ultimate in Volkspark Rehberge if the weather cooperates. Our games focus on having great team play, where the teams work together to advance the disk down the field. It's more important to work well together as a team than have a few star players get a point with lucky shots. For this reason, players of all skill levels (especially those who have never played) are welcome to join Bring plenty of water, shoes you can run in and comfortable clothing that can get a bit dirty. Although we're an established group, newcomers are always welcome. After the game we try to spend some time together and have fun. Finding us: We meet in this big grassy area, it's a short bike ride from the subway stop Rehberge on the U6 or Amrumer Strasse on the U9. It can be a bit tricky to find the first time, so we've got a few methods to help out (don't trust the meetup map pin, it often shows some point in the park, not the exact spot where we are) 1.
