We are pleased to offer a complimentary Running/Walking Tour during KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2019 in Barcelona, Spain. We have planned a scenic run around the downtown and the Montjuic Mountain areas. This will be the perfect way to wake up and get your energy going for the day.

Sign up now! Registration closes at 23:59 (CET) on Friday, May 17.

Regular running is linked to a myriad of health benefits, can help people lose weight, and improve mood and self-esteem. The experience can be quite spiritual, especially when running early in the morning. There’s something magical about being up before the rest of the world, taking special time for yourself to boost your health and energize yourself for the day ahead.

A morning run is a much easier commitment, are rarely dark or too hot and can give you an early- morning energy buzz. Running burns more calories than most exercises, it can lower stress and improve mood.

Space is limited. Sign up by Friday, May 17, 23:59 (CET).

We are excited to offer Silent Yoga this year at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe. Vinyasa flow session is designed for you to relax and find your flow. This 30-minute silent yoga class is available to all levels and combines meditation, great music, movement, and breathing.

Yoga is a mind and body practice with a 5,000- year history in ancient Indian philosophy. Various styles of yoga combine physical postures, breathing techniques, and meditation and/or relaxation. In more recent years, it has become popular as a form of physical exercise based upon poses that promote improved control of the mind and body and enhance well-being.
You will always be safe in the hands of an experienced instructor.

WHY IS SILENT YOGA UNIQUE?

The headphones offer a wonderful new element to the practice. With one, you will feel like you have a yoga teacher right by your side the whole time. The headsets eliminate distractions of the outside world. This way you will be able to focus better and go deeper in your flow. Plus we get to enjoy some pretty awesome soundtracks!

Yoga mats and headset will be provided.

All attendees may feel free to use the Quiet Room as needed. It is a physical space where conversation and interaction are not allowed, where attendees can go if for any reason they can’t interact with other attendees at that time.

Step outside during the breaks and lunch and enjoy the sunshine and fresh air in one of the Garden Lounges or Ramblas 5-7.

OSMI has worked to create a ‘conference handbook’ to educate KubeCon & CloudNativeCon attendees about what they can do to remain comfortable, healthy and happy during the conference. The digital copy of the handbook will is available below and a physical copy will be available at the OSMI booth, mentioned below.

You can also download the digital handbook directly here.

Having worked with OSMI before, Dr Jennifer Akullian from the Growth Coaching Institute will discuss amongst other things the shocking statistic that despite the 20% prevalence of mental illness in the general population, the number jumps to 51% among those working in the tech community.

The session will suggest “concrete steps for improving mental health in the workplace at an organizational, team, and individual level.”

You can find the full session details here: https://sched.co/NyYU

There will also be an OSMI booth in the sponsor area throughout the conference. The booth will be staffed by volunteers from CNCF member companies.

The purpose of the booth is to be an additional point of contact for anyone who is feeling overwhelmed or unhappy. Attendees are encouraged to come along for a chat with one of the volunteers who will be happy to listen and will know where to redirect attendees for further help if they need it.

The OSMI booth is booth #SE15 and will be open during normal sponsor hours.
