Short interventions for stress reduction - yoga & relaxation for students

In cooperation with TK and the Chemnitz Yoga Center

As part of the Long Night of Postponed Course Papers - 2026, a short yoga and relaxation program is being offered to students. In four 20-minute sessions, participants will have the opportunity to release physical and mental tension, recharge their batteries, and improve their ability to concentrate. The program is explicitly aimed at those who are new to yoga and is designed to be accessible to everyday life, without any pressure to perform. The focus is on gentle movements and short relaxation exercises that directly help to reduce writer's block, stress, and fatigue.

6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. IdeenReich

Registration: Not required. Interested students can register at the TK information desk.

Booth	Link	Description
	University Library	At the University Library's advice booth, we help you select suitable literature research tools and show you how to use them as efficiently and profitably as possible. Of course, we also advise you on technical options for recording and managing your research results, using reference management programmes such as Zotero. We are also happy to help with questions about using AI in research, evaluating sources and copyright law!
	Student Union Chemnitz-Zwickau	Those who would like to close the book and look up from their laptop from time to time, are warmly welcome to visit the information booth of the Student Union Chemnitz-Zwickau. We answer questions all around student life (financing, jobs, organization of studies, studying with a child, social and financial assistance etc.). In case you have inquiries regarding the offers of the Student Union for psychological and social assistance, you are also very right to address to us! NEW: You can also book an individual consultation to talk directly to our social worker or our psychological counsellor on site. We look forward to seeing you again.
	University Computer Center	At our booth, we offer advice and assistance for overcoming challenges within the elaboration of the course paper with MS Office or the typesetting system LaTeX. However, we voluntarily offer our support also regarding other tools from the services portfolio of the University Computer Center.
	Methodological Competence Center of the Faculty of Behavioral and Social Sciences	The Methodological Competence Centre provides advice on methodological challenges in Empirical Social Research within the scope of your own research projects (qualification theses, research projects, methodological developments and much more). The main areas of consultation are: methodological consultancy, research designs, quantitative statistical methods, qualitative methods, software for empirical studies.
	Student Council	The Student Council jointly with the faculty student representatives is at your disposal for guidance regarding your studies and minor little problems in order to join hands with the students in the best way. For students – by students.
	Texting Coaching	At the Texting Coaching, you may address your questions emerging during the elaboration of your course paper: How may I structure appropriately? How may I design introduction and conclusion in a way that works? How may I combine sentences in a manner that they explain clearly complex issues without seeming “convoluted”. Are my orthography and grammar correct? For those and all other questions around the topic “Texting”, Dr. Sylvia Jurchen and Dr. Burkhard Müller from the Center for Foreign Languages is at your disposal.
	Student Service and Central Student Advisory Service	The Central Student Advisory Service gives answers to questions regarding standard period of study, leave of absence or change of degree program and presents the range of degree programs of Chemnitz University of Technology, particularly our Master degree programs. To those who study with health impairments, such as disabilities, chronical or mental diseases, some particular university-legal regulations apply. Among those are compensations for disadvantages, i.a. also regarding course papers, you are welcome to ask also for advice regarding prequirements and application.

Time for some snacks and drinks ... and above all:

Please write, write, write!
Our best wishes for the successful completion of your course paper!
