TRIPPLE ICEPRESSO: Yoga Quickie + Breath Work + Ice Dip
These sessions are hosted by a friend of mine, Ricarda. She's great herself, and she's great at what she does. So, if you're looking for a new routine to boost your overall health, I highly suggest giving this a shot.
Boost your Thursday with this triple espresso shot and the chance to feel a high before going to work. The location of Innersun is a beautiful flat with a rooftop that has a view over the city. You'll be doing 30 minutes of Yoga with Ricarda to stretch it out and get the blood moving, 15 minutes of breathwork, and you're ready to dip into the freezers filled with ice water. Stay for a couple of seconds or even minutes. That's up to you. But it's going to make you feel invincible and will give you a huge energy kick and a happiness boost. Snacks are also served.

Restaurant of the week:
Selecta Modern Pizza - (Prenzlauer Berg)
This neighborhood pizzeria has a simple yet delicious pizza menu. The friendly staff make it a pleasant spot to dine in.
thank you love the format and ofcourse all the info!:)
Adding an event that I have to message someone else to get info about registration and price, is really off brand. This newsletter is to provide information, not some very weird sales pitch (talking about the yoga event if that wasnt clear)
