Come and enjoy a day dedicated to caring for your body and mind! Join our lecture on nutrition myths, or take part in workshops where you can improve the functional movement of your hands and feet or learn better breathing techniques. You can also try a facial yoga session or have your vascular health professionally examined.
The event is organized in collaboration with MultiSport.
Vascular Examination
8.00 AM – 1.00 PM, P302A
Over the course of our lives, fatty particles from the blood deposit on the inner walls of our blood vessels. This can lead to a decrease in arterial elasticity and overall vascular compliance. The examination is painless and non-invasive. Using a PPG probe placed on the fingertip, the device detects light pulses, which are then evaluated as pulse waves in a plethysmographic curve. Based on the type of pulse wave, we can determine not only your overall vascular health but also any potential damage.
Contraindications for the examination:
-
Gel nails
-
Nail polish
Functional Hands & Feet
10 A.M. - 10:45, P302b
Our feet and palms are the foundation of our body’s support, and their alignment is reflected in our overall posture. Poor movement habits, overstraining the limbs, and the loss of proper function can lead to much more extensive health complications, such as hip issues, pelvic floor dysfunction in women, or back and headaches. Learn how to align and activate them correctly to reduce musculoskeletal discomfort.

Join Jana, donate blood!
We shouldn't forget about others' health. Donating blood can save lives - during surgeries, accidents, or the treatment of serious illnesses. Blood cannot be artificially produced, which makes donors irreplaceable. Regular donation also helps maintain the donor’s health by supporting blood regeneration and providing regular health check-ups. Just a few minutes of your time can give someone a chance at life.
