Un invito a rallentare, respirare e ritrovare equilibrio… sospesi sull’acqua. Preparati a scoprire Milano da una nuova prospettiva e ritrovare il tuo benessere anche in città. **Orario** 9.30 - 12.00 **⏱ Durata:** 2h30 **👥 Posti:** max 11 **📍 Ritrovo:** Associazione Nazionale Marinai d’Italia, viale Gorizia 9B (Darsena) **✅ Livello:** adatto anche alla prima volta in SUP **Come si svolge SUPMindfulness sui Navigli di Milano** **1) Lezione introduttiva di SUP (sicurezza + tecnica base)** Fondamentale se è la tua prima volta, utile anche se vuoi perfezionare postura e pagaiata. Useremo tavole ampie e stabili: imparare sarà più semplice di quanto immagini. **2) Mindful Tour: meditazione in movimento** Dalla Darsena al Naviglio Grande vivremo una pagaiata in SUP a ritmo lento, guidata e adatta anche ai principianti che per la prima volta salgono sulla tavola. **3) Meditazione guidata + tisana finale** Al rientro in Darsena uniremo i SUP e ci prenderemo un tempo per una meditazione seduti sulla tavola. Chiuderemo l’esperienza con una tisana da sorseggiare sull’acqua. **SUPMindfulness è uno spazio Digital Detox** Durante l’esperienza mettiamo via lo smartphone, per rigenerarci e vivere davvero il momento: potrai lasciarlo in un locale custodito. Foto e video ricordo li realizzo io, così tu puoi restare presente **Cosa è incluso** * SUP, pagaia, giubbotto di salvataggio * Lezione SUP (per principianti e per chi vuole un ripasso tecnico, con correzioni su postura e pagaiata) **Abbigliamento consigliato** Non serve abbigliamento tecnico. In questa stagione è consigliato abbigliamento sportivo comodo (es. tuta/leggings, felpa, giacca antivento, cappellino). Ai piedi: calzari in neoprene o scarpe da scoglio; se preferisci, anche a piedi nudi. **Cosa portare (necessario)** * Un cambio completo * Asciugamano * Cordino per occhiali (da vista o da sole, se li usi) **Dove ci troviamo** Il ritrovo è alla storica Associazione Nazionale Marinai d’Italia in Viale Gorizia 9B a Milano.

**Are you ready for the Milano–Cortina Winter Olympics? We’re not.** **That’s why we’ve created our very own Ostello Bello "Olympic" Games: a glorious display of questionable athletic skills and high-level nonsense.** While the "other" guys are busy with the official **Milano-Cortina 2026** ceremonies, we’re bringing the real "action" to the streets of Milan. From February 6th, we aren't gathering to break world records; we’re gathering to break the laws of physics. This isn’t about the podium; it’s about the survival of the chillest. Get your "winter" gear ready, because we’re about to prove that being an elite athlete is 10% talent and 90% just showing up for the vibes. **The Incentive:** Every participant gets a **shot**. The "legends" who actually win take home an **Ostello Bello T-shirt or a Drink**. ## The Disciplines: Official "Technical" Standards Every day from **7 PM to 9 PM**, our "athletes" will face a rotating schedule of these elite winter disciplines: ### 1\. Air Hockey: The Wrist\-Flick Battle A high-speed duel where the only thing frozen is your gaze on the puck. * **The Goal:** Smash the plastic disc into the hole. * **Requirement:** Move your hand faster than your brain can process and celebrate every point like you’ve just secured a gold medal. ### 2\. Boxing\-Glove Beer Pong: The Clumsy Champion Challenge We took a classic and made it impossible by adding the "Yeti factor." * **The Twist:** You have to play wearing massive, padded boxing gloves. * **The Challenge:** Gripping a tiny ball with giant hands is the ultimate test of patience. Success here is statistically unlikely and basically a miracle. ### 3\. DIY Curling: The Professional Slide The most serious-looking sport in our program. We’ve replaced expensive stones with pots and ice with felt pads, but the tension is real. * **The Setup:** A "House" (target) taped on the floor and a "Hog Line" for the release. * **The Action:** Launch the pot while your teammates run alongside it with brooms, screaming *"Hurry! Hard!"* just like in the real tournaments. * **The Score:** Closest pot to the center wins. Clean floors are a bonus. ### BONUS DAY: The "Wildcard" Game The discipline is a mystery. Our local legends will choose the challenge. Expect the unexpected: and probably more shots. **AND REPEAT.**

**How to Join?** **Add your name on Meetup.** **[Message me on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/393500966059?text=Hi%20Ozzy%2C%20I%E2%80%99d%20like%20to%20join%20the%20Sunday%20yoga%20class%20and%20receive%20the%20payment%20details%2C%20please.) to receive payment details:** **Your spot is confirmed once payment is completed.** **Sunday Studio Class** * **Time:** 11:30-12:30 * **Level:** All Levels-Beginner-Friendly (International, English) ‍♀️ Everyone is welcome – whether you’re new to yoga or already experienced. We’ll move through a Hatha yoga flow . Come connect with your breath, body, and community. **Location:** Via Melzi d’Eril , Milan **What to Bring** * Your own yoga mat *(limited studio mats available on request)* * Comfortable clothes and water \*\*\* \*\* Cancellation Policy\*\* – More than 24h before class: Cancel directly on Meetup. – 6–24h before class: Send me a WhatsApp message to let me know. – Less than 6h before class: Unfortunately, your class credit will be used and no replacement can be offered. \*\*\* **Safety & Notes** * Your safety and well-being are very important. By attending, you acknowledge that yoga involves physical activity and accept responsibility for your own practice. * ❗ *This class is not suitable for pregnant women.* * If you have health concerns, please check with a doctor before joining. \*\*\* **About Me** I’m Ozzy, a certified yoga instructor specializing in **Hatha Yoga**.
