YOGA
Trainer: Elena Toti (info: etoti@sissa.it)
Yoga is a very old and vast system of practices, born in India and much later adopted in various forms all over the world.
In the sessions at SISSA we will focus on the physical part of the yoga practice, the asanas, designed to bring the body and the mind to a relaxed and peaceful state, the basis for meditation.
My teaching style is fluid and dynamic, inspired from Vinyasa yoga, and incorporates relaxation and meditation techniques. To come to the classes you only need comfortable clothes which allow you to move freely. You can either bring your own mat or use the ones available in the gym.
Schedule: Wednesdays 6PM-7:30PM
AIKIDO
Trainer: Riccardo Rozza (info: rrozza@sissa.it)
Aikido is a Japanese martial art derived from ancient samurai fighting techniques. Initially dedicated to Japanese army training, it is now widely spread and appreciated due to the combination of gentle, harmonic movements with a vigorous self-defense system. It comprises empty hand and weapon-based techniques and allows you to challenge and improve yourself mentally and physically.
Initial requirements for the lessons: iust your standard fitness equipment, better with long trousers. Neither jewelry nor shoes are allowed on the tatami.
Advanced requirements: a normal keikogi, which is readily available in any sport shop (e.g. Decathlon).
When and where: Tuesday and Thursday, 6:30 - 8:00 PM, at SISSA gym

TRIESTE DANCE CO-OP
The “Trieste Dance Co-op” is Trieste’s new spontaneous dance group at SISSA club. This is a safe, free, friendly, welcoming space that is open to everybody and no previous dance experience is required. This dance space is not led by a teacher or facilitator; instead, everyone is free to move (or not) as they please, dancing, being playful, interacting (or not) with the others, rolling on the floor, freeing their minds and being authentic. We believe that, with a bit of practice, we do not need intoxicants to let go of our barriers and blockages and have fun, so we encourage a alcohol-, drug- and judgement-free dance space.
How does it work? Every week, one of the participants prepares a 90-minute playlist to which everyone moves as they wish. There are no genre restrictions, as you can see from the presentation video! We have only two requests: First, that the playlist follows a wave-like pattern in intensity: it starts slow and calm, then the intensity rises until it reaches a peak, after which it falls again, finishing once more softly and calmly; Second, that each playlist has an intention, a theme, where examples could be "Dream", "Fly", "Solidarity", "Mother Earth", "Forgiveness", "Go crazy!", "Authenticity", etc. In this way, each dance session becomes a meaningful, sometimes even healing journey of discovery of self and other.
This offer is not only for PhDs. We explicitly encourage postdocs, professors and all SISSA staff to consider this opportunity to connect and move authentically!
There will be TWO first sessions with the same playlist: 10th October (Thursday) and 14th October (Monday), 18:00-19:45, at SISSA gym, building B5. Please write an email to Valentin from APP vpomakov@sissa.it, indicating which of the two sessions you will attend so that we keep track of numbers. Please be punctual in order to avoid delays, since the last bus departing from SISSA is at 20:10. Bring light, comfortable, sporty clothing. We encourage you to take off your shoes while dancing, but if you prefer dancing with shoes, please bring clean shoes that you do not wear outside regularly.
