In this interactive workshop, you’ll acquire some yoga-based tools and tai chi exercises to help you get through the work day in better shape, and maybe relax outside working hours too! In the first session, we’ll do some simple exercises that help relieve tension as well as stretch, strengthen and restore circulation, and that take an office environment into account. Some exercises may even involve your desk, chair or a nearby wall.
Tai chi is an ancient Chinese movement art that promotes calmness, balance, and energy. In this part of the workshop, you’ll discover how its flowing movements can help release tension and promote concentration – ideal for those of us who spend hours at a computer. You'll hear about and learn techniques that strengthen both body and mind, enhancing focus and overall well-being.
