Are your thoughts blurred? Is the neck and shoulder area stuck? Are you looking for refreshment? Take a Brain Break! An easy and relaxed break is used to move the body in a caring and refreshing way. During the session, for example, various stretches, spinal rotations and openings are performed. Let’s break the sitting streak and put the thinking work on hold for a while, which at its best helps to both calm and refresh the busy body and mind, as well as promote creativity, learning and recovery.  You do not need separate exercise equipment for the break exercise session, you can participate in your everyday clothes just as you are.

Online on Tuesdays at 8.30–8.55 between 25.8.-15.12.
