If you were to tell someone about this session, what would you say?
That the laughing yoga and the breathing exercises were really good
It should be compulsory for all staff to have these break away sessions to focus you a little on the work life balance and reminding you of the techniques needed to manage the stress we experience every day.
It was good fun and raised awareness of managing stress
This was a very supportive space and the facilitator was knowledgeable and inclusive leader of the session.
Great if you want to engage in mindfulness tips/sessions etc.
Go with an open mind, focus and don’t be afraid to get involved - no one can see you
