Public Moves: Care & Dare – Yoga
with Sabina Holzer

Wed 16.07., 17.00h l MQ Forecourt l Free entry

Core Strength Vinyasa Yoga^® is a bit like Rock ’n’ Roll. With every breath we take, we nourish the golden sun in our stomach and connect with the joy in and around our body. We expand our movement possibilities, are mindful of small vibrations and strengthen our centre with the pelvic floor. It is not the final form that is most important, but the way to get there and how.

Please bring your own mat for this workshop!

Public Moves dance classes take place outdoors every day – international and local instructors share their knowledge of everything from jazz and Bollywood dance to waacking in free outdoor classes. No previous experience is necessary, and all ages and levels are welcome!

Registration begins one day before the course starts at 11:00 a.m. via the calendar or by telephone on +43.1.523 55 58-19. If a class is ‘fully booked’, there is still the possibility of securing a remaining place on site. It's worth dropping by!
