    Vinyasa Yoga (Level 1: Beginner's Yoga)
    What is yoga?
    Contrary to the belief that yoga is for flexible people, yoga is for every BODY.
    All it requires is curiosity and a willingness to meet your body in the present moment. Whether you are new to the practice or an avid practitioner, all are welcome into this yoga sanctuary.

    Together we will create a community of yogis where we will explore the mind-body connection while covering basic concepts and postures in the yoga tradition. The takeaway? Greater mind-body awareness, body alignment and embodied presence (among others).

    Join us for our monthly Women’s Circle for connection and support.

    A women’s circle is a safe space for women to come together, to share, connect, support, and empower each other. It is a space where each woman is held, heard, and supported.

    Gathering in circle is an ancient tradition that helps us follow our internal wisdom to find what we need to heal and grow. It allows us to create common understanding amongst women, free of judgement.

    Each circle has a specific theme such as self-love, gratitude, intuition, resilience. We include elements of breathwork, meditation, movement, music and sometimes a small craft or other activity. It’s a place where you can switch off, relax and focus on yourself all while enjoying the connection and support of other women.

    Come as you are: Wear what you are comfortable in or what makes you feel beautiful.


    Cost: Free or Donation Based
    Registration/Cancellation Deadline: October 31, 2025

    The women’s circle is offered on a free or donation-based model.
    If you are able, I welcome donations to help cover the basic costs of materials. Donations could be made via cash or Twint

    Navigating the Crossroads of Life

    The Professional American Women’s Club of Zurich (PAWZ) invites you for a presentation by Ellen Delman.

    Interesting and accomplished women rarely share the behind-the-scenes stories of their careers — the unexpected turns, the challenges, and the defining moments. Join us on November 5 as Ellen Delman, Consular Agent and Honorary Consul of the United States in Zurich, takes us through the fascinating journey of her dynamic professional life.

    Before relocating to Zurich, Ellen began her career in the New York City Mayor’s Office of Economic Development, later transitioning to the role of Creative Marketing Director for an international art licensing company. In 1987, she co-founded SOTA AG Zurich, an innovative art marketing and computer graphics company, where she remained a co-owner until 1999.

    Ellen has also been a dedicated leader in the local American community. She served as President of the American Women’s Club of Zurich from 1994–1996 and again from 2013–2019, and broke new ground as the first female president of the American International Club of Zurich in 2007.

    From embassies to art galleries, Ellen has traveled the world, built bridges across cultures, and seized opportunities in unexpected places. Come hear her inspiring story — one that blends diplomacy, entrepreneurship, and community leadership — and gain insight into a life well-lived across borders.

    Join us for our monthly Women’s Circle for connection and support.

    A women’s circle is a safe space for women to come together, to share, connect, support, and empower each other. It is a space where each woman is held, heard, and supported.

    Gathering in circle is an ancient tradition that helps us follow our internal wisdom to find what we need to heal and grow. It allows us to create common understanding amongst women, free of judgement.

    Each circle has a specific theme such as self-love, gratitude, intuition, resilience. We include elements of breathwork, meditation, movement, music and sometimes a small craft or other activity. It’s a place where you can switch off, relax and focus on yourself all while enjoying the connection and support of other women.

    Come as you are: Wear what you are comfortable in or what makes you feel beautiful.


    Cost: Free or Donation Based
    Registration/Cancellation Deadline: December 12, 2025

    The women’s circle is offered on a free or donation-based model.

    We decide our reading list via discussion and survey, five books at a time. Our 2025 Fall/ Winter reading list is:

    January: The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley

    The best way to learn about our activity is to simply show up! We love welcoming new faces, and will be happy to answer any questions you have. Haven't read the book? As long as you don't mind spoilers, it's not a problem. We also begin every meeting with a potluck social hour, so feel free to bring something to share!

    *Non-AWCZ-members: membership in our book club is contingent on membership to the AWCZ, but you are welcome to attend a book club meeting as one of your free “taster” activities. Please see the membership section of this website to learn about how to join the AWCZ.*
