Tech Startups in the Pub - Milan (6:30 PM CET)
🍻 **Join Us for Tech Startups in the Pub - Milan Edition!** 🍻
Hey there! 🌟
We'd love for you to join us for our next edition of *Tech Startups in the Pub,* this time in Milan, Italy!
The event is scheduled for **6:30 PM local Italian time**. The platform does not allow us to change the time zone, so we can only create events with the GMT time, thus you will see the invitation for 7:30 PM, but you definitely want to come earlier.
It's a relaxed evening at The O'Connell Irish Pub, and run by Volodymyr. We have been running for 3.5 years in London and we are excited to now run our monthly events in Milan as well, welcoming new folks to the community.
Whether you're a tech founder, an enthusiast, a budding entrepreneur, or simply curious about the tech scene, you'll fit right in. This isn't about panels or pitching, just good old-fashioned networking with like-minded people over a drink on a Thursday evening.
Important information about the location and time. **It is in the ZTL zone**, so please do not come by car. Please use public transport or walk.
**House Rules:**
* Find Volodymyr to introduce yourself so we can welcome you properly. The pub knows we are coming, so you should be able to find us easily.
* No hard selling or heavy pitching. This is a chill, friendly after-work get-together.
* Not drinking? No worries! You're more than welcome to come hang out and enjoy the conversation.
Mark your calendar and come down for some fun tech talk. See you there!

**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.
