It’s a workout that relies on body weight with little or no equipment. In fact, almost all common bodyweight exercises are considered calisthenics exercises. Some examples include: - airsquats - pushups - pullups - frogstand -handstand -musclup -backlever aso 😁 Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced athlete, calisthenics provides a holistic approach to fitness. 🏋️‍♂️💪

Let’s meet in the middle of March for a gentle, warm, and slightly unpredictable afternoon together. As winter slowly gives way to spring — a season when everything begins to awaken again — we’ll take a moment to reflect on the question: What Are You Growing Into This Year? 🌱 🌟 What to expect A small circle of open-minded people, with tea, coffee, or food in hand, sharing reflections, philosophy, psychology, or simply ideas and inspirations that arise naturally in the moment. The topic is suggested above, and the conversation will flow organically. 🪄 We’ll explore the questions step by step, from light to deeper, in a roundtable format. For example: • What’s your name, where are you from, and what are you doing in Luxembourg? • What is something new you have started exploring this year? • If this year had a theme for you so far, what would it be? • What small change in your life has already made a difference this year? • Is there a skill or quality you would like to develop more this year? • What are you currently investing more time or energy in? • Is there something you are slowly letting go of this year? • What kind of person do you feel you are slowly becoming? • What has helped you grow the most in recent years: people, challenges, or experiences? • If this year goes well for you, what might look different by the end of it? • What is one quiet intention you have for the rest of this year? • …and whatever else naturally emerges. There’s no pressure to share deeply — listening is just as welcome as speaking. ✨ 📌 Practical details 📍 Venue: Le Quai Steffen – Gare de Luxembourg | Restaurant 📅 Date: Sunday, March 15, 2026 🕒 Time: 15:00 – 17:00 👥 Group size: Up to 12 people ☕ Food & drinks: Everyone orders and pays individually Since this is a rather specific topic, the group will stay small. If you find that you can’t attend, please cancel your spot so someone else can join. If you enjoy authentic connection, gentle humour, openness to different perspectives, and curiosity about others — not just what they do, but who they are — you’re very welcome to join. 🫶
