Yoga (group)

Join us for 60 minutes of yoga in meeting room G303 (Gneis building, 3rd floor).

The yoga classes are particularly suitable for those who struggle with common "office ailments" such as stiff neck, shoulders, back and general stress-related ailments. Long and deep breathing runs like a red thread through the lessons and stimulates the part of the nervous system that calms us down (parasympathetic nervous system).

The supine relaxation exercise bodyscan helps us to get "out of our heads" and in contact with the body. This type of exercise help us to detect and release physical tension and, through regular practice, it can contribute to relief chronic pain.

The classes are at beginner level, with some challenges in between for those who want it. You do not have to be flexible or athletic.

Instructions are in Norwegian.

Padel

Employees (included Phd-students) at NTNU in Gjøvik can play padel on courts for two or four players. NTNU-funded padel is possible as long as there are available "credits". Padel takes place within "one hour of training during working hours" and courts are therefore initially booked for one hour. Initiative for game time or registration for playing takes place via the Teams team "Padel at NTNU in Gjøvik" (https:~//s.ntnu.no~/padel). Padel is reserved for employees and neither friends nor family should participate in games financed by NTNU.
