Intervals Workout Session 🏃🏻♂️🏃🏼♀️🏃🏻 Bois de la Cambre
We do cycles of 4-6 weeks, with a progressive intensity, and the last session is lighter.
Program:
15’ warm up
**To be defined**
Cool down to get back to the starting point… or more
S=All out sprint
RF = Run fast, at MAS (Maximum aerobic speed)
CF = Run comfortably fast (1h threshold)
J = Jog, recuperation
Notes:
It should take about one hour in total, as the cool down will end when we reach back to the meeting point.
It's NOT required to have an activity tracker or smart watch to be able to follow the program, as I'll be giving signals with a whistle.
For the "run" part, you can follow your own pace and we'll be regrouping in the "jog" part.
Intervals training is not advised for total beginners. To have an idea, the average pace at the warm up is around 5'45"/km-6'/km so this pace should feel very comfortable

By signing up for this event, you agree to release the organizers from any responsibility and liability in all claims. As the participation is strictly voluntary and you freely choose to join, it is the responsibility of individuals participating to ensure that they are fit enough and have adequate coverage to protect themselves.

🌿 **Restful Reset – Gong Bath**
🗓 **Sunday, January 11 · 4:00 pm**
📍 **Yoga Studio Brussels**
After the intensity of the beginning of the year, this gong bath is offered as a deep pause — a moment to slow down, settle the nervous system, and gently return to balance.
This session is intentionally **restful rather than stimulating**. Through sound, silence, and vibration, the body is invited to shift from mental activity into deeper listening, breath, and sensation.
🔔 **The sound journey unfolds through planetary qualities:**
☀️ Sun – clarity, vitality, inner orientation
🌙 Moon – rest, receptivity, emotional regulation
💗 Venus – harmony, softness, self-care
🌀 Mercury – mental digestion, integration, calming the mind
🌍 Earth – grounding, stability, embodiment (including Schumann resonance)
Rather than pushing or releasing, this gong bath supports **integration and recalibration**, allowing the nervous system to rest and reorganize.
💶 **Price**
• 35 € (one person)
• 32 € per person when coming two or more
⚠️ **Early booking recommended** — places are limited and sessions tend to fill up.
📩 **Bookings & info:**
bookings@nirmalkaram.com
✨ A space to rest, integrate, and realign.
***
🌿 **Restful Reset – Bain de gong=**
🗓 **Dimanche 11 janvier · 16h00**
📍 **Yoga Studio Brussels**
Après l’intensité du début de l’année, ce bain de gongs est proposé comme une pause profonde — un temps pour ralentir, apaiser le système nerveux et revenir doucement à l’équilibre.
La séance est pensée comme un espace de repos, plutôt que comme une expérience stimulante. À travers le son, le silence et la vibration, le corps est invité à quitter l’activité mentale pour entrer dans une écoute plus fine de la respiration et des sensations.
🔔 **Le voyage sonore s’articule autour de qualités planétaires :**
☀️ Soleil – clarté, vitalité, orientation intérieure
🌙 Lune – repos, réceptivité, régulation émotionnelle
💗 Vénus – harmonie, douceur, soin de soi
🌀 Mercure – digestion mentale, intégration, apaisement du mental
🌍 Terre – ancrage, stabilité, incarnation (incluant la résonance de Schumann)
Plutôt que de provoquer une catharsis, ce bain de gongs soutient une recalibration douce, permettant au système nerveux de se déposer et de s’organiser.
💶 **Tarif**
• 35 € (une personne)
• 32 € par personne à partir de deux personnes
⚠️ **Réservation anticipée recommandée** — nombre de places limité.
📩 **Réservations & infos :**

Intro to GitHub Copilot: Your AI Pair Programmer - Chris Steele
**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
**Abstract**
GitHub Copilot is rapidly changing how developers write, understand, and maintain code. Powered by generative AI and deeply integrated into modern development environments, Copilot acts as an intelligent coding assistant, helping developers move faster while maintaining quality and focus.
In this session, we’ll explore what GitHub Copilot is, how it works, and where it fits into a real-world developer workflow. We’ll break down what Copilot can (and cannot) do, where it can be used, and how licensing differs for individuals and organizations. Most importantly, this talk goes beyond theory with a live, hands-on demo showcasing Copilot inside the IDE and on GitHub, demonstrating how it can assist with code generation, refactoring, learning new APIs, and accelerating day-to-day development tasks.
Designed for developers, technical leads, and engineering managers, this session provides a practical introduction to AI-assisted development, highlights best practices for getting value from Copilot, and closes with guidance on how to continue learning and evolving alongside this rapidly advancing tool.
Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how GitHub Copilot can enhance productivity, improve developer experience, and fit into modern software teams today, not someday.

This is a relaxed, welcoming space to slow down and enjoy a beautiful evening together. Limited spots available. RSVP required.
