Sun from above, meadow under your feet, balmy air, soft beats and - ... YOGA and live music (from 17:30)
Don't miss out on this flow experience!
Yoga music flow perfects your summer soul feeling.
We activate and mobilize, strengthen and stretch, flow through various yoga exercises (asanas), challenge ourselves, sweat, let go and relax, accompanied by sometimes gentle, sometimes motivating beats that accompany our movements. It's not about skill, but about feeling, about your own energy flow instead of perfection, about trying things out and letting yourself drift, about turning individual parts into a whole... just flow.
The yoga flow with Lina starts at 17:30. Afterwards, Flo & Sophie will play live music and accompany the rest of the evening with guitar and vocals. You are welcome to sing along to the cover songs with a mix of pop, soul and singer-songwriter. As always, you can come to the after-work picnic from 16:00.
You can find more information about yoga coach Lina online: https://linasprenger.com/
Afterwards, singer Ann Vriend and drummer Ellie Mercie will be performing on the outdoor stage! The Canadian musicians stand for soul, roots, blues & singer songwriter music. With the band "AV & the Inner City", Ann Vriend has already sold more than 30,000 albums and won several awards, including the "RnB Single Of the Year" award at the Edmonton Music Awards, as well as being nominated for "Keyboardist of the Year" at the Maple Blues Awards.
