Morning Yoga and Meditation
Wednesday, May 10
Meet at: 6:45am
Activity at: 7:00 – 8:00 am
Location: Vancouver Convention Centre | Level 2 Ocean Terrace and Foyer
Begin Day 1 with a calm, energized mind by participating in the morning yoga and meditation session. Join community member, Dylan Schiemann, as he leads attendees in restorative or vinyasa flow yoga sessions.
Dylan started practicing yoga more than ten years ago to compensate for his two favorite daily software engineering poses: laptop pose and mobile phone pose. Dylan takes a deliberate and intentional approach when teaching yoga striving to make yoga accessible to everyone. Dylan will lead either “restorative-ish” or a more deliberate vinyasa flow sequence depending on a quick survey of the attendees. Complimentary towels will be provided, or you can bring your own. Please be sure to wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing.
There is no cost to participate and space is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
*Participants must be registered for Open Source Summit North America 2023, and have their event badge.
