Every Saturday, a rotating cast of trainers lead classes on the Akademie der Künste’s terrace, teaching their pupils under the open sky. The classes range from yoga to bodyweight strength and conditioning – and they’re open to beginners as well as old hats. The concept began with Nik Kosmas, previously a Post-Internet artist (and member of the collective AIDS-3D) who gradually shifted his focus and energy from the art to the health sector. Nik will be the trainer for this Saturday’s energizing training session, which will place an emphasis on foundational body movements. Like Nik, the other trainers often have connections to the art world, like artist Helga Wretman, who regularly teaches Saturday-morning Yoga. You can buy tickets here or get them at the ticket desk at Akademie der Künste. (Text: Nicolene van der Walt / Photos: Timo Ohler (bottom), Julia Burlingham and Natascha Goldenberg (right))
