- Note: the Eat Well and Learn categories of breaks scroll to the right for all dates they scheduled in the future.

"What does Office Friendly mean?"
A few of the breaks are indicated to be office friendly in brackets. This means that the break can be fully participated while remaining seated with no movement, speaking, breath-work or meditation required.
These breaks are perfect for those who find themselves in a shared office setting and do not want to draw attention to themselves while participating in a break!
As a note, all of our Eat Well and Learn category breaks are always what we consider Office Friendly.

STRESS - We all experience it
When stress kicks in, it's like hitting a panic button that helps your mind and body get ready for action. 🏃 This is great if you’re at the starting line of a marathon…but it’s not so great if you’re trying to sleep or focus!
Chronic stress can:
🥴 Elevate blood pressure
🥱 Cause fatigue and depression
😥 Cause digestion problems
🤧 Lower your immunity

🧘Don’t forget to breathe…
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by EVERYTHING, remember that you have a secret weapon to help you get calm and centered again — your breath! 💭
Here’s a simple breathing exercise you can try:
💚Place your hand on your navel so you can feel the gentle rise and fall of your belly
💙Breathe in, and pause for a count of 3
🧡Breathe out, and pause for a count of 3
💜Continue this breathing pattern for 1 minute
Feel that? That's you, turning down all the noise in your head, and tuning into your inner calm 🏝️😎🌿
