A morning to breathe: yoga and mindful movement

Start the day with a soft, grounding note , Flavia Abbadessa, lululemon ambassador, leads a yoga session at 09:30 that’s described as welcoming and calm. The tone is deliberately inclusive, aimed at anyone who wants to stretch and reset before a busy summer.

Arcigay Milano’s involvement frames the session as more than exercise; it’s community-building. According to Arcigay’s programme pages, their events often blend activism with practical services, so expect an emphasis on safety and accessibility. If you’re new to yoga, bring a mat and layer up , mornings in the garden can be pleasantly cool.

Run, meet, and share: Front Runners and inclusive projects

At 11:30 a group run through Parco Sempione with Front Runners offers fresh air and an easy way to meet fellow local runners. It’s the kind of run where pace is flexible and conversation is the focus rather than time on the clock.

After the run, the programme returns to the garden at noon for conversations about inclusive projects for people with disabilities. Pride Sport Milano connects 16 sports groups across the city, so these talks are a useful window into local initiatives that bring sport to more people. If accessibility matters to you, this session is the place to learn how groups adapt activities and recruit volunteers.

Afternoon martial arts, Feldenkrais and Queer Tango

The afternoon balances intensity and nuance. At 16:30 visitors can meet Hyeonmu, a taekwondo association, and at 17:00 there’s a Feldenkrais session , a slow, somatic practice that feels gentle and strangely refreshing after a run or a high-energy class.

Then at 17:30, a Queer Tango demonstration adds a colourful, rhythmic contrast. Dance events like this are both performance and invitation; you can watch the technique and then be encouraged to try a few steps. It’s a joyful reminder that movement can be expressive, social and political all at once.

HIIT, team stories and grassroots rugby

As evening approaches, the pace ramps up with a HIIT session led by Olympic athlete and lululemon ambassador Alex Di Giorgio at 18:30. Expect short, sweaty bursts that leave you energised , wear trainers and be ready to modify moves if you’re pacing yourself.

The programme also spotlights team stories: Peacox Basket Milano and Libera Rugby share their challenges and community projects between 18:00 and 19:15. These talks are useful if you’re curious about joining a team or volunteering; Pride Sport Milano’s network includes everything from beach volleyball to cycling, and hearing first-hand experiences helps you choose a fit.

Volleyball, Curva Arcobaleno and how to join in

The day rounds off with a discussion at 20:30 about volleyball and inclusion featuring Gate Volley and the Curva Arcobaleno project. It’s a reminder that sport can be a platform for visibility and change, whether through mixed teams, rainbow-curated fan projects, or outreach work.

If you want to take part in future events, check Pride Sport Milano’s group listings and Arcigay Milano’s services pages for contacts and seasonal training schedules. Join a taster session first to see how the team feels on the ground , sport communities are often friendlier than you expect.

It's a small change that can make every movement more welcoming.
