Make Desk Posture Easier (WFH)
We all know that we *should* sit properly at computers, but it often feels awkward, uncomfortable and exhausting.
Caught in a Catch-22 – we know poor posture makes us tense and achy, but good posture is awkward and tiring.
In this workshop, you’ll learn:
- how to switch to good posture, without creating more aches and pains
- what good posture actually is (and the mistakes you’re probably making when you try to sit in good posture)
- how to have good posture even if you’re in a dining chair and kitchen table
- a single, 30-second stretch that makes good posture feel 40-80% easier, immediately

Upper Body Stretching (WFH)

- how to stretch effectively
- how to use testing & palpation to KNOW your stretching is effective
- the main stretches you need to take pressure off your neck, shoulder & upper back
