Description: Canne de combat (French for "fighting stick") is a French martial art, the roots of which go back to the 18th century. Originally developed as a self-defence method, canne de combat is now a fast and agile competitive sport which combines elegance and acrobatics with dynamism and efficiency. It is the ideal recreational sport as canne de combat is quick to learn, very varied and carries a low risk of injury. The aim of the course is to teach the six canne de combat strokes as well as other basic techniques. Participants are first familiarised in a playful manner with the equipment – the stick – and then progress to duelling with various partner exercises. No special equipment is necessary – apart from a positive attitude and comfortable sports clothing.

Übungsleiterin: Livia Tice
This is a 6-week long series of 2-hour courses in the methodology of ESD (Empowerment through Self Defense). ESD sees self-defense techniques not only as a tool for dangerous situations but as an approach to personal empowerment. This approach is holistic and includes strategies to deal with conflicts, to set verbal boundaries and be more assertive, deal with microaggressions and physical danger. Through these skillsets of verbal formulas, physical techniques, discussions and the safe space to explore our personal boundaries, share and heal from our past experiences, people tend to feel more confident, empowered, supported and have an overall more positive outlook in their capabilities to stand up for themselves.
Certification of the teacher, Livia Tice:
In November 2020 I took part in the 5-days Training of ESD Instructors in Albania, which was the first training organized in the country. I worked for 3 years with the NGO ESD Albania, the authority for spreading this methodology in the country. In 2021 I got certified as a Level 2 instructor and during the last 3 years I have trained and assisted in training more than 400 people in Albania and Europe. The Japanese martial art of Aikido, which I practiced for 4 years, is what brought me to the self-defense course and the journey to become an instructor and share the methodology with others.

Instructor: Vanessa, certified yoga teacher, fitness trainer and trainee occupational therapist.
Cost: 35 euros per student/ 45 euros per employee
Description: Welcome to a yoga class that offers a harmonious fusion of Hatha and Vinyasa with elements of Restorative Yoga. In this class we will practice asanas (postures) to build strength and promote flexibility while emphasizing the flow of breath to create a connection between body and mind. By combining strength-building, flowing movements and calm, restorative poses, we will create a balanced practice that guides the mind and body into a state of clarity and calm. For students in particular, yoga offers an effective way to alleviate the stresses of desk work by strengthening the spine, reducing shortening as well as stress and therefore having a positive impact on everyday life. Whether you are new to yoga or want to deepen your practice, this class offers a supportive and non-judgmental space for all levels. Weather permitting, outdoor yoga can be offered as an option. Instruction in English is also available. Prerequisite: Preferably bring your own yoga mat if you have one. (There will be spare mats)
Additional equipment, not a must: Yoga blocks/ thick book, yoga belt/ belt, blanket meditation cushion/ seat cushion if necessary
