Description:
Are you sitting in front of the computer “all day” and have back pain? headache? Your neck is stiff? Your eyes are tired? I think I know what you need… In the Yoga for Scientists workshop, through a set of yoga poses, we will try to compensate for the consequences of working in front of the computer. We will as well explore our body and become aware of bad postures that can be avoided.

The deadline is approaching and you are feeling stressed? In this workshop we will also learn some breathing techniques that can help us deal with demanding situations.

What is actually Science? Is scientific research based on sharing knowledge and doing good to the world? Or is it just pure competition? Is the scientific research system efficient? How is your research contributing to the world? In this workshop, we will look at the world of science from the eyes of the yoga philosophy. Give yourself the freedom to explore your world from a new point of view.

No previous yoga experience is required for this workshop. Non-scientists can of course participate as well! Ideas, discussions, personal experiences are welcome!

Come in comfortable (sport) clothes and try not to eat 2-3 hours before the workshop.
