Health and Sports activities

YOGA

Take a deep breath in and out! Allow yourself to stop, feel and be in the moment. Every Tuesday at 12:00 I invite you to experience. Experience yourself through correct breathing, yoga practice and perfect relaxation. During the classes we will learn the basic yoga asanas, breathing techniques, meditation and experience perfect relaxation (shavasana). This vigorous yoga practice will awaken and warm up the body, calm the mind and give strength both physically and mentally. The true practice of yoga begins when you step off the yoga mat, when it allows you to hear and feel yourself and enjoy the present moment.

Gintarė Frišmantaitė is a certified RYT 200 international level Yoga Alliance yoga teacher. Gintarė’s acquaintance with yoga began more than 10 years ago. Her interest and experience of the benefits of becoming a yoga teacher was overwhelming. Gintarė’s goal is to help as many people as possible to take time for themselves, to stop and enjoy the present moment, to help and show others how to access their inner power through a deeper awareness of their body and a focused mind-set to live a joyful, easy and healthy life.

Classes are held on Tuesdays 12:00-13:00 in the CR-II-104 wrestling room.

A brief introduction to pickleball. Pickleball is a fast growing paddle sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton and table tennis. The game is fast-paced, easy to learn and extremely fun to play due to the long tosses that take place during the game. Pickelball is usually played as a doubles match. Singles matches are also very popular and interesting for players looking for a bigger challenge.

Join independent group games of pickleball, badminton, table tennis on Thursdays 13:30-15:30. In the I-116 gym.
