Knitwits Meet Wooligans

Workshop by Gerda Galenkamp

13.30 - 15.30 h

Where? EDLAB, Garden Room, Tapijnkazerne 23

 

Does your mind need a break? Do you find meditation difficult? Do you want to relax and at the same time train your brain?

Join the Knitwits!

We are hosting a get-together around the beautiful craft of knitting. We will teach you the basics: how to hold the needles and thread and how to start a project. Everyone can learn these skills. You will find that knitting can relieve stress and tension. There is no pressure. You don’t have to be creative. One moment you will see a soft thread going through your fingers. The next moment you will have a sock or a scarf in your hands. Immense gratification.

Yin Yoga & Yoga Nidra

Session by Ilona from Yogilo

17.00 - 18.15 h

Where? UM Sports, P. Debyplein 15 - Body & Mind Studio

 

Yin Yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga where poses are held for an extended period, usually around 3-5 minutes or even longer. The focus is on targeting the deeper connective tissues and joints, aiming to increase flexibility and promote relaxation. But Yin Yoga isn't just about physical postures – it's an introspective journey. As you sink into each pose, you'll learn to observe your thoughts and sensations without judgment. This can be a powerful tool for managing the challenges that come with university life.

Yoga Nidra, also know as 'yogic sleep,' is a guided meditation practice that induces deep relaxation and conscious awareness. You lay down in a comfortable position and follow my voice, gradually moving your attention through different parts of the body and entering a state between wakefulness and sleep. The goal of Yoga Nidra is to achieve a profound level of relaxation, reduce stress, and even tap into the subconscious mind.

We provide yoga mats but feel free to bring your own. Remember to dress comfortably and we advice to take a blanket or sweater to cover yourself during the end relaxation

Express Yourself and Step Into Happiness!

Zumba class by Armand van Bogaert

19.00 - 20.00 h

Where? UM Sports, P. Debyplein 15 - Exercise Hall

 

Did you know that Zumba dancing isn’t just perfect for physical health? It’s also a great way to increase mental, social and emotional connection as well!

Join the fun of this vibrant and exhilarating dance fitness experience that fuses Latin and international music with energetic dance moves. Let the infectious rhythms and engaging choreography captivate you.  

The class is led by a certified Zumba instructor who will guide you through a series of dance routines set to a diverse playlist of upbeat songs. The music spans genres like salsa, merengue, reggaeton, cumbia, and hip-hop, creating a lively and dynamic ambiance. 

Zumba is renowned for its inclusivity and is accessible to people of all ages, fitness levels, and dance backgrounds. The emphasis is on enjoyment and self-expression rather than perfecting intricate dance steps. You are encouraged to let loose, move with passion, and simply have fun while breaking a sweat. 

The choreography is easy to follow, allowing everyone in the class to keep up and enjoy the experience. As you groove to the music, you engage various muscle groups, so you simultaneously work on your cardiovascular endurance, flexibility and coordination. The rhythmic beats serves as a powerful motivator, turning a workout into a dance party. The positive energy of a Zumba class can be contagious, boosting not only physical well-being but also mental and emotional health.
