Crow Pose Workshop - Building Arm Balance
**Please note: This event is not bookable via Meetup.**
**To reserve your place, please contact me directly.**
**[Click here to message me on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/393500966059?text=Hi%2C%20I%E2%80%99m%20interested%20in%20the%20Crow%20Workshop.)**
**CROW POSE (kakasana) WORKSHOP**
Saturday, 7 March
15:00–17:00
Spazio M12, Milan
**Curious about working on Crow Pose?**
In this workshop, we will work on Crow Pose not only as a physical balance, but as something we build step by step with awareness.
**What will we do in this workshop?**
• We will look closely at the pose
• We will prepare the body step by step
• We will notice how the body carries weight
• We will learn how to use strength from the right place, without forcing
• We will enter the pose in a safe and controlled way
Without rushing, without putting all the weight on the arms, we will learn how to create balance using the whole body.
Through simple techniques and supportive variations, you will have the space to understand the pose better and try it with more confidence.
**Who is this workshop for?**
– Those trying Crow Pose for the first time
– Those who find it difficult to lift their feet
– Those who can already balance but want to stay longer and feel more stable
**The mindset**
This workshop is not about performance, but about awareness.
Whether your feet lift or not, what you understand here will support your practice and help you continue building Crow Pose step by step.
A regular yoga practice is recommended.
Small group setting for individual guidance.
**Price: 35€** (tax included)
Reservation is confirmed once payment is received.
Payment options: PayPal, Satispay, or bank transfer.
**Cancellation Policy**
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the workshop (please inform via WhatsApp).
Cancellations within 24 hours are non-refundable.

Aperitivo and Hang-out in English
Hello everybody,
I usually look for events on Saturdays but I can hardly ever find any, so I asked myself, "Why don't I organise one ?" The idea is to meet at **Next Bar in Via Crema 7** (Very close to P.ta Romana underground station / yellow line) at **18:00** and hang out there for some time. You can also enjoy drinks and eat for 13 Euros (p.s. the buffet is mind-blowing).
Guests are required to buy their first drink upon entry.
I kindly encourage you to RSVP during the week if you can.
I really hope to meet you on Saturday! Don't worry if you can't see many people who've RSVPed, the event is advertised on other platforms, so there will be plenty of people to mingle with.
When you get there ask for **Riccardo**.
Feel free to WhatsApp me at **+39 334 283 1963**
During the event, you'll have the opportunity to join our WhatsApp group by scanning QR codes displayed on the tables to stay in touch.
Looking forward to a great time together!
Best regards,
Riccardo

ZUMBA +... Aperitivo! - Sunday of Exercise, Fun and Connections
ENG
Sunday afternoon in Milan, what’s the plan? Let’s recharge our batteries to get ready for a brand new week. Leave behind what’s past, take the best from it, and turn it into **pure energy** for this Sunday practice.
Music will be the base of our body's movement and expression: the rythm will guide our steps and canalise our energies and emotions into something very creative and powerful.
Bring a **sports towel** and **sport clothes and sneakers**. (there are changing rooms if you need them!) Don’t forget **water** to rehydrate — and your desire to recharge!
NEW LOCATION: Campo Teatrale \| Snodo Creativo a Milano \(A few metro stops after Loreto\)
***Suuuuper important: Please try to arrive in time! As once the class starts, it's difficult to come receive you!***
And after the event, the sweetest part: let's choose a bar and have some drinks together to get the full Milanese experience with a typical Aperitivo! (not included in the participation fee)
ITA
Domenica pomeriggio a Milano, qual è il piano? Ricarichiamo un po' le batterie per prepararci al meglio a una nuova settimana. Lasciamo ciò che è stato della settimana scorsa alle spalle, prendiamone il buono e trasformiamolo in **energia pura** per questa pratica della domenica.
La musica sarà la base del movimento e dell'espressione del nostro corpo: lasceremo che sia il ritmo a guidare i nostri passi e a canalizzare le nostre energie ed emozioni in un momento di grande creatività e libertà espressiva
Porta il tuo **asciugamano da sport** e **acqua** per reidratarti, **abbigliamento e scarpe sportivi** (ci sono gli spogliatoi, se devi cambiarti!) e... voglia di ricaricare le batterie!
NUOVA LOCATION: Campo Teatrale \| Snodo Creativo a Milano \(qualche fermata metro dopo Loreto\)
***Suuuuper importante: cerca di arrivare in orario, perchè una volta che inizia la lezione, non sentiamo più il citofono (e non c'è nessuno in reception per accoglierti)***
E dopo l'esercizio, la parte più dolce: non è la full experience Milanese se non c'è un Aperitivo di mezzo! (non incluso nella quota di partecipazione)

Chiuderemo l’esperienza con una tisana da sorseggiare sull’acqua.

CBusData - Discover the Power of Window Functions
Window functions have nothing to do with the Windows operating system but provide a “window” to a result set when used in SQL queries. They are powerful, set-based methods to view data in unexpected ways. Window functions provide easy, set-based solutions to solve some common problems:
* Using running totals
* Performing operations in intervals
* Identifying data gaps and islands
* Performing aggregates without losing detail
Many people are confused by window functions and do not know how to use them properly. This session will explore window functions, how they work, and how to use them. Demonstrations with several examples will solidify how window functions can simplify queries and make them more powerful.
Columbus Yarn Club at the Grandview Heights Library
5:45-7:45 in Conference Room B, Library lower level. Bring your yarn projects, meet new friends.
