Modern work often involves long periods of sitting, which can lead to tension, reduced energy, and long-term health risks. This workplace wellness workshop explores the science of sedentary behaviour and how desk habits influence both physical and mental performance.

The 60-minute corporate desk health workshop includes interactive exercises such as posture check-ins, guided desk stretches, and peer movement audits. The 30-minute session provides a focused introduction with quick wins and practical strategies for improving posture and daily movement.
