Wellness In Your Workday
About the Workshop
In this session, participants will learn strategies to reduce stress and anxiety in the workplace. Breathing techniques, an awareness practice, and 7 healthy ways to move your spine every day will be incorporated into this session. It is recommended you wear comfortable clothes that allow you to bend and stretch.
Participants will:
- Learn that long exhales are calming and inhales are invigorating.
- Become aware of when their body is tense through the awareness practice.
- Learn simple movements to keep the spine healthy.
