You can start Ashtanga with any proficiency level, regardless of age, gender or weight, and build up your skills step by step. Each asana builds from the previous one like a brick creating a firm wall.

Experience the joy of floating! Soft aerial yoga is a gentle practice using a structured hammock to support the body in movement and rest. The fabric creates a sense of lightness and ease, allowing tension to release naturally while the body moves in a slower, more intuitive way. Each class begins with simple grounding and breath, followed by soft, supported movement and moments of light suspension. The practice finishes with deep relaxation in the hammock. This approach can help to release tension in the spine, improve mobility and support the nervous system. Classes are small, with only seven participants, creating a calm and personal atmosphere. No experience is needed. Beginners are warmly invited. Instructor: Katya Duration: 75 min Type: aerial yoga Price: €15 / trial class

Just a few kilometres on foot: with silence, a short reflection, and good company. It's more than a walk. But it doesn't feel like it.

Come as you are. *** 📅 Wed, July 8, 6:00 PM 📍 Tiergarten (Meeting point: Global Stone Project, [https://maps.app.goo.gl/ud8DAwdPKEoqR6U66](https://maps.app.goo.gl/ud8DAwdPKEoqR6U66)) 📩 You’re welcome to join our [WhatsApp group](https://www.alexander-steinfeldt.de/hikes/berlin-pilgrims/) for updates and connection before the hike. 🧭 Pilgrim Guide Alex (Mail alexander.steinfeldt@outlook.com or WhatsApp +49 157 57652601) \-\-\- **Waitlist = You're in! 😊** Currently, only 10 members can officially register on Meetup (due to the restrictions of the free version).

Or looking to explore a cool place to get to know new people and have the option to go bouldering or hangout after the class for a drink? This all-levels yoga class is happening every two weeks at the Bouldering Gym Urban Apes Friedrichshain. We flow together through some yoga, practice specific mobility exercises and after the class you could decide to try out bouldering in the gym. :) No yoga or climbing experience needed! No flexibility needed! Just come as you are. Poses and Flows are explained and we flow in a relaxed pace, leaving room for play, mistakes, learning and joy :-) Also a good way to practice English and connect to people with different backgrounds. **Important:** The yoga class is 5€ (Booking via the Link, NOT via Meetup).
