"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.
