Event details

Here is an opportunity to learn simple, complementary, portable techniques that you can take away and use at your desk, every day. Location: Avenue Campus.

Stella Tomlinson will introduce you to:

Chair Yoga : Learn movements to tease out tightness from your neck, shoulders and back. This is a gentle style of yoga you can do from a (mostly) seated position that also incorporates the breathing and mind-body benefits of a traditional class.
Breathing Space : Learn to use your breath to calm your body and mind.

The combined session will run from 16.15 (prompt start please) to 17.00, so will make a perfect end to your day.
