This 50-minute wellness workshop is designed to give back to those who offer so much of themselves. Participants will be offered practical tools to recharge and restore balance, including a blend of gentle chair yoga, stretching, breathwork, and meditation. The movement practice will be accessible for all fitness levels, to release physical tension. The session will also include guided breathwork to calm the nervous system and a mindfulness meditation to cultivate mental clarity. Alongside the practices, we’ll explore the science behind their benefits and share simple strategies to integrate these techniques into a busy workday and maintain resilience and well-being while continuing the vital work of supporting the most vulnerable.
