WICE upcoming events

GL031 Yoga for Well-Being (03 Jul 2026)

Fri, 03 Jul 2026 08:00:00 GMT

Yoga classes for physical and mental well-being focused on mindful, precise movement, breath awareness, and the mind-body connection. You can expect asanas (yoga postures), breathwork exercises, and simple guided meditations designed to help you feel safe and empowered in your body.

Each class starts with a short check-in and is adapted to the students’ current needs and abilities. All levels are welcome. If you have had any surgeries or have physical injuries, please contact Ola prior to class (contact information will be provided upon registration).

Following class, members are encouraged to meet upstairs in the cafe for coffee, tea, cake, or other delicious creations made by the team at the Apycem cafe, to which the studio belongs.

Cancellations may be made more than 3 days before the first session. Please notify wice@wice-paris.org to cancel so that someone on the waitlist may attend in your place.

A word about Ola:

I am an experienced yoga teacher and psychologist. I teach yoga that supports body awareness and gently explores the inner world, combining movement with tools for stress management and emotional regulation.

What matters most to me is the person in front of me, their needs, story, and intention. I enjoy accompanying people in their self-discovery and witnessing their growth through yoga.

GL091 Mindfulness Meditation (09 Jul 2026)

Thu, 09 Jul 2026 09:00:00 GMT

Can you imagine a life where your mind is a source of peace and strength, where calmness flows through you like a gentle river even amidst daily challenges? What if you had the power to observe your thoughts without judgement, steady your emotions, and tap into a deeper well of wisdom within yourself? What if you could have moments of freedom between the triggering events of your life and your responses to them, moments of choice?

The pressure of daily life can leave us feeling overwhelmed and trapped, with no space for movement or reflection. Meditation offers us a more spacious life, an opportunity to descend to a more profound and rich experience of our lives and our relationships with ourselves, others and the world we inhabit. In terms of daily life and routine activities, regular practice can help the body regulate itself more effectively. It can help with getting a more relaxed and sound sleep or decreasing the severity and/or frequency of migraine headaches. It’s a pathtoward mental clarity, emotional resilience, and enriched creativity.

WICE members can join us for a biweekly hour of meditation practices. One variety is Vipassana, a mindfulness practice focusing on direct nonjudgmental observation of body and mind in order to cultivate greater awareness and ease. Others include heart practices such as generation of lovingkindness, compassion and equanimity. These practices are available as non-sectarian techniques, open to anyone seeking to understand their mind and body.

We’ll meet for about an hour on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of each month. We’ll start with a few minutes of self-introduction, then some guided meditation, followed by a period of silence, then finishing with some final minutes of conversational reflection. Whatever level you are, beginner to advanced, you are welcome! Hosted by Lori Zeller and Cheryl Purvis, who have been meditating on and off for a total of over 70 years between the two of us, all the while taking classes, joining groups and going to retreats.
