Business yoga for a perfect start to the conference
Business yoga in the morning is very well suited to reduce stress, promote concentration and increase the general well-being. The goal is to take a short time out before the start of the conference and then start the day relaxed and full of energy.
Time: Tuesday, 19.09.2023 from 08:00 a.m. to 08:30 a.m. Meeting point is at 07:55 a.m.
Location: Zukunftsmeile 2 (ZM2), room A.00.07
Do I have to register? No! You can simply participate without registration and free of charge.
Who can participate? The course is intended for anyone interested in yoga. So you don’t need to have any experience to join. Even people who have been participating for a while will enjoy it.
Do I need sportswear? The exercises are all chosen in a way that allows you to do them wearing conference or everyday clothes and are specially designed “only” for activation and not for sweating! So you don’t need to bring extra sports clothes or take a shower afterwards! It is best to bring a towel for the exercises.
