Dance-class starts this week

The dance class ” Dance for Health” starts this Wednesday at 4:30pm in Dramasalen in Academill. Everyone can join!  You can sign up HERE

Dance for Health is a research-based initiative to strengthen mental well-being. We focus on the joy of dancing, social connection and think about things other than the demands of everyday life.
The course can help you who have recurring problems with stress, fatigue, sleep problems, depression, anxiety, headaches or pain in the stomach/back/neck.
Warm-up, free movement, guided dance and relaxation are included in each session. We dance barefoot, but if you want to wear shoes, that’s okay. Feel free to bring socks and a warm sweater for the relaxation.
No prior knowledge is necessary. Come as you are and just dance – you are welcome!

Try out kayaking the 17th or 19th of September

This is a trial session for those who have never kayaked before. We paddle at a slow pace so that everyone can keep up, regardless of previous experience.

Requirements to participate: You must be able to swim

Safety on the water is the highest priority, and on land, we will instruct how to perform self-rescue and buddy rescue in case of an accident. The leaders are equipped with safety equipment, in case someone capsizes or needs towing assistance.

During the trial session, we will go through the following:

  • Overview/adjustment of kayak and equipment
  • Instruction on getting in and out of the kayak
  • Overview of the basics of kayaking
  • Instruction on safety and paddling techniques
  • Tips and advice during paddling from the instructor

Jenny Teir serves as an instructor alongside Anki Stenkull-Aura. Jenny is a teacher at Vasa övningsskola and is studying to become a wilderness guide with a specialization in kayaking.

Welcome to a new academic year with ÅAU Sports

Summer is coming to an end and autumn is knocking on the door!

On  the 1st of September -24, a new year starts within ÅAU Sports. It is now possible to buy the membership for 24-25. You can buy your membership HERE

The price of the membership has unfortunately risen a little, but we can please you that we can now offer another full day at WSC. In addition to the whole Tuesday and Sunday tour from 16-20 (Body Combat and the later hour Body Pump) you now also have the opportunity to train at WSC all Friday, both in the gym and in guided sessions.

We will also continue the collaboration with Danceschool Kipinä and the sport service at Vaasa University, so the schedule will be filled with even more activities in the coming weeks.

A warm welcome to a new year!
