Yoga. The Inner Journey
The evening class begins with Pranayama to center the mind and deepen the connection to the breath, followed by sequence of movements inspired by Hatha and Ashtanga Yoga.
We will weave together gentle yet energizing postures with conscious breath awareness to cultivate balance, aliveness, and inner clarity.
The session also includes chanting to open the voice and heart and a period of non-dual meditation—an invitation to rest in simple awareness beyond effort or separation.
Open for all who wish to explore yoga as both a physical and contemplative practice.
.
This event takes places in the beautiful atmosphere of the Still Point - Meditation Center
We offer snacks and drinks as well as time and space to get to know each other.

This is a **reliable**, safe, supportive in-person space to move through procrastination with presence and companionship. Whether you’re working on admin tasks, tax returns, writing, creative/coding projects, or simply clearing up your inbox — bring whatever needs getting done and we’ll focus gently beside you. After a 30' intro and goal setting session, we will go through 3 **Pomodoro** **sessions** of 45' focused work and 15' breaks in between.
🕐 **Time**: 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM
📍 **Location**: Jaz in the City – Ground Floor long table: Windmühlgasse 28, 1060 Vienna
💻 **Bring**: Your laptop(& charger), journal, creative tools, or anything you’ve been procrastinating on
🌿 **Hosted by**: NoCrastination. See you across from the ground floor bar ✨ you will see us sitting at the long table with our laptops
☕ Please do order something from the bar, so as to keep us in their good graces! Espresso: €3.5, Americano: €4.5, Latte: €5.5.
Donations to support the community are voluntary and welcome.
🌱 **What to Expect**
* **Welcoming space**: we meet in the creative, cozy lobby of the **Jaz in the City**
* **Social start**: intro from **1:00 to 1:30 PM**, we mingle, get to know each other and share goals; our first focus session begins at **1:30 PM.** However, **drop in anytime** if you can't make the intro session — stay for a bit or settle in for the whole session
* **Clarify your goals**: write down your measurable tasks for the day on a Post-it when you arrive, or join us for the 30' intro session where we introduce ourselves and share our goals for the day
* **Enough spaces**: main table is for quiet focus, multiple nearby tables for casual conversation, and sofa's in the back for taking video calls(be mindful that the hotel music is always on in the background). After each focus session, if you’re still in the flow, feel free to remain seated — no need to move. If you're up for a chat, we can move to a social area for a relaxed break
* **Pomodoro-style rhythm**: We work in 45' focus blocks followed by 15' social breaks. If 45' feels too long, feel free to break it into two 20' focus sessions with a short 5' reset in between. You’ll need to self-regulate these shorter cycles, just tune into your own flow and rejoin when ready
* **Quiet companionship**: no pressure to talk during focus time — just shared presence and support
💡 **New to Pomodoro?** Don’t worry — we’ll guide you gently. No apps or timers needed.
**🪑Seating information:**
* If this is your first time joining us, please look for **Vlad** when you arrive in front of the **Ground Floor Bar** (not at the hotel reception).
* There is a **long table with about 12 seats** for those joining the **peer accountability session** — please arrive on time if you’d like to sit here.
* There are also **round tables nearby** for anyone who prefers a more flexible setup.
* If you’d like to **work independently (without the Pomodoro sessions),** but still be part of the group energy, just let **Vlad** know — we’ll make sure you’re comfortably included. 💛
💬 Why Join?
* Beat procrastination with gentle accountability
* Reclaim your momentum without doing it alone
* Enjoy a change of scenery that boosts your focus
* Be part of a community that shows up — without hustle
Bring your project. Bring your presence. Let’s work side-by-side. 💚
Single Party in Wien mal anders
So hast du andere Leute in Wien wahrscheinlich noch nie kennengelernt!
Bis zu 10 Singles, die sich zuvor nicht kennen, treffen sich in einer Bar und lernen sich bei einem eigens für diese Veranstaltungsreihe entwickelten Spiel näher kennen.
Das Spiel kombiniert eine gelungene Mischung aus Fragen, Aktionsaufgaben und lustiger Unterhaltung, die alleine oder als Team gemeistert werden. Durch verschiedene Aufgaben und Fragen kommen die Spieler in direkte Interaktion miteinander und lernen sich im Spielverlauf näher kennen.
Im Vergleich zur klassischen Single Party lernst du bei Socialmatch wirklich nur Singles in deiner Altersgruppe kennen und kommst von ganz alleine ins Gespräch mit den anderen Teilnehmern. Ein Spielmoderator vor Ort informiert über den Ablauf und leitet durch den Abend.
Sicher dir jetzt deinen Platz beim nächsten Event unter [[www.socialmatch.de](http://www.socialmatch.de/)]
und lerne neue Leute in deiner Stadt kennen.
Dieses Event ist für die Altersgruppe 30 - 45 Jahre.
P.S. Socialmatch erhielt 2015 bereits einen Award für das Konzept, teste es selbst ;-)
**Achtung: Nur mit Buchung über die Website ist eine Teilnahme möglich!**
CineTour: Good Boy @ Admiral Kino (EN)
First and foremost - join our Telegram Channel!
[https://t.me/cinetour](https://t.me/cinetour)
**IMPORTANT: Dogs in the audience! This is a part of Admiral Kino's program KINO MIT HUND, so there might be dogs in the audience.**
Our canine hero, Indy, finds himself on a new adventure with his human owner--and best friend--Todd, leaving city life for a long-vacant family home in the country. From the start, two things are abundantly clear: Indy is wary of the creepy old house, and his affection for Todd is unwavering. After moving in, Indy is immediately vexed by empty corners, tracks an invisible presence only he can see, perceives phantasmagoric warnings from a long-dead dog, and is haunted by visions of the previous occupant’s grim death. When Todd begins succumbing to the dark forces swirling around the house, Indy must battle a malevolence intent on dragging his beloved Todd into the afterlife.
\*\*\*
*HOW*
**If you can't find us before/after the movie, write me a PM (Farit, the host) or post a message to this event, I monitor it during the meetup and will pick you up.**
We meet a bit before 18:00 in the lobby of the theatre.
[Buy tickets - Good Boy](https://www.admiralkino.at/produktion/good-boy/)
We recommend to buy your ticket as soon as possible!
Usually, after the movie we just chat a bit about it for a moment in front of the cinema. So don't run away, if you don't have to.

THURSDAY👋⚽FOOTBALL FRIENDLY 20:30-22:00 (Donaucity) w/ SORIN & Video Highlights
Things to know before playing:
Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls;
We play Thursday Night Football (outdoor only) . We play 90 minutes (kick off is at 20:30, and we meet at least 15 minutes before for a warm up phase). Post-Corona football matches are most likely between 14-16 and 28-32 players. If you would like to join please bring artificial turf shoes (like the ones for indoor turf) and shin pads (not mandatory but definitely recommendable).
All I ask is that you come with a good mood, be respectful to everyone, and pay online using the link below.

We play light: no sliding, hard tackling, fighting, screaming, & hopefully no injuries. We need to respect current regulations in Vienna, Austria.
The main priorities are to have fun and being safe. The drinks are relatively free after the game in the local pub, served to those who have shown fantastic football fair-play skills. We’ll confirm the location, the pitches, and the dressing room numbers via our dedicated Football WhatsApp group. Keep an eye out for the group messages. See you all soon.
Sorin SMS/ WhatsApp +43 6764276984 (please ask to be added to our football groups). We will probably need to confirm your presence if you are coming for the first or second time.
Important management rule:
\> "No shows" are penalized with 10€ fee\. Please remove your name from the list at least SIX\!\!\! \(6\) HOURS before the event\. Book a place via FootballExperiences\.NET using this link

One small final note:
Please avoid trying to take justice in your hands. If someone is talking bad, complaining, insulting someone, fouling on purpose or committing the usual football shenanigans, please let the organizers know. Measures will be taken, we assure you. Any misbehavior on your part, such as responding in an obscene way, fighting, or leaving the pitch is not a practical and diplomatic way of resolving the issues (it tends to create more tension and cause more problems). Let’s be respectful and mature and try to enjoy the game we all love. That’s why we’re all here. Get to know people from all over the world and have fun!
Thank you.
Sorin

LANGUAGE EXCHANGE & SOCIALIZING in vienna
Hello !
and welcome to our international family in Vienna!
[[Click this Whatsapp Groupchat link to join](https://chat.whatsapp.com/IHjiqrhVEYDEyGaB7uQfzu)]
This isn’t just a language exchange — it’s a lively gathering of globally minded souls in their 20s and 30s who love new experiences.
We meet every Saturday at 7:30 PM in the heart of the city.
Whether you’re a backpacker passing through or a Viennese local curious about the world,
you'll find open minds and open hearts here.
Come practice new languages, share your culture, and make authentic connections.
Run+B-fast
Hi Running fellows,
Whether you’re a walker, new to running, a semi-pro, a marathonist or a sprint star - if you want to start your weekend in an active way and enjoy the outdoors in lovely surroundings with a fun, international and multilingual group of people, you are welcome to join us!
Every Saturday at 9:30 am, we meet, we run, in the magnificent Schönbrunn park, and then we go for breakfast.
Want to discuss politics or the best recipes for banana pancakes? Not a problem. Not feeling social? Tune out with your earbuds - we can talk over breakfast. We are casual. You can be too.
What to expect: Start by meeting Adrian, Ali, Liz, Paul and Sonia on-time at 9:30am outside the Schönbrunn U-Bahn stop (exit Grünbergstraße). (Coordinates: 48.1858130, 16.3200640) From there, we walk to the side park entrance where the “running” part begins. The important thing is that you run at your own pace. Typically, small groups of people will run at the same pace as you, so you never have to walk/run alone :)
We finish one hour later, at about 10:40am, reconvening just inside the Hietzinger Tor exit. (Coordinates: 48.1858825, 16.3032647). From there, we’re off to breakfast!
Breakfast Details: Anker bakery opposite the U4 Hietzing station and depending on the weather, grab something for a picnic in Schönbrunn park, or hang out in the bakery. If you missed us earlier, you can always go there around 10:45.
We are a fun group of runners who don’t take things too seriously. We meet, chat, RUN, stretch, chat, EAT and we hang out over a beer every now and then. It's that easy. Please join us for breakfast after the run! The more the merrier.
Typically we are 10-30 people, as not everyone who comes signs up on meetup.
Important disclaimer: Please only run as much as you feel you can, considering the temperature, weather conditions, your own fitness etc... run and walk at your own pace as the organizers do not assume any liability for any injuries or health issues. Sonia, Adrian, Ali, Paul and Liz
Social Hike XL: Iron Wells + Koliba
*Amidst whispering pines,*
*Ponds cradle nature’s secrets -*
*Stillness mirrors sky*
Bodies of water have always held a certain fascination amongst outdoor enthusiasts, and this is no exception. After a quick break, we then take a short commute to our actual trailhead.
Expect iron-rich lakes, lush forests and a panoramic chairlift ride to the Kamzik mountain top. After taking in magnificent vistas from what is BA's highest accessible point, we'll follow a meandering vineyard trail back into town. Net hiking time will be \~3 hours.
To secure your spots, please ...
Step 1: RSVP here on Meetup first (optional but recommended)
Step 2: Complete your booking at https://vienna.ixpat.com/ironwells
Social Hike: Beethoven Hills + Seegrotte
Be inspired like Beethoven, who roamed these hills in 1814. After gathering at Vienna Main Station (Wien Hauptbahnhof) we'll catch a 20-minute train to a quaint municipality just outside Vienna. A short walk will lead us straight through town and up to its thick walled neo-Gothic church. There, we start our proper hike up and around this picturesque mountain with its token 12th-century castle, which also starred in Stephen Herek's "The Three Musketeers". Expect a lush pine forest, magnificent views and impressive medieval architecture.
But that's not all. Underway we'll also take a detour to the nearby Seegrotte, Europe's largest underwater lake. A mystical place brimming with history.
Price includes train tickets and friendly host. Entrance fee for the 1-hour Seegrotte guided tour and boat ride is \~EUR 18 (not included).
To secure your spots, please ...
