The session is designed to be accessible, engaging, and actionable, helping participants feel better both at their desks and in their daily lives.
2. Purpose of the Workshop
The purpose of this session is to:
- Encourage staff to care for their physical and mental well-being in realistic, low-effort ways.

- Morning Wellness: Teach quick, effective body-mind practices to set a positive tone for the day.
- Stress Resilience: Share practical tools to handle work/life pressures with calm and clarity.
- Food for Energy and Health: Discover affordable nutrition habits for better focus and sustained vitality
- Posture & Ergonomics: Raise awareness of sitting habits, posture, and small desk adjustments—no equipment needed.
- Micro-Breaks & Movement: Demonstrate simple exercises to reduce the effects of prolonged sitting and boost energy throughout the day.
- Move More, Sit Less: Create small but regular movement habits—no gym or gear needed
- Sport & Physical Activity Awareness: Understand the mental and physical benefits of sport and how to begin—even with 10 minutes a day
- Inspire Action: Motivate staff to adopt at least one small wellness habit postworkshop.
