WORK/LIFE BALANCE WORKSHOP
Everyone has a life outside of work, but many struggle to find a balance between hours spent working or at work , and one’s personal life. Yet this balance is crucial for physical, emotional well-being. In this workshop we will discuss the nature of work/life balance, how it is different for each person, and how to create a unique and personalized work/life balance.
We will also learn a series of simple mindful movements which can be a daily means of creating and restoring calm into the flow of one’s work, communication with others, obligations, responsibilities , duties, self care and relaxing.
