Intro to Mindfulness and Breathing Meditation
This workshop introduces mindfulness as an invaluable practice that can be developed, sharpened and mastered over time using breath-based meditation techniques.
Participants will learn:
What it means to be mindful and why it's so important today
Why the breath is the most valuable and effective tool for meditation
Three breath-based meditation techniques to build awareness, improve focus and activate a relaxation response
How to integrate mindfulness and meditation into daily life
Much like regular exercise contributes to better physical health, practicing mindfulness and breathing meditation regularly can profoundly enhance mental and emotional well-being. Following a discussion on mindfulness and its many benefits, attendees will be introduced to simple, approachable meditation techniques that have been researched and well-documented to improve perceptions of and reactions to stress.
With accessible tools and best-practices, this workshops helps attendees cultivate a mindful approach to benefit both their personal and professional lives.
Mindfulness in an Age of Distraction
This fascinating workshop challenges attendees to acknowledge negative habits related to technology use and intervene mindfully.
Participants will learn:
How increased demands for attention and mental multi-tasking contribute to stress
How to set boundaries and improve productivity using The Work From Om® Digital Diet
How to train the brain to focus through mindfulness and meditation
Ergonomics and body awareness techniques to avoid common stress injuries (carpal tunnel, "text neck", back pain, etc.)
With continuous advances in technology and social media, our attention becomes a scarcer resource every day. As the demand for our attention increases constantly and exponentially, the time we have in any given day remains the same, and research shows that this can have detrimental effects on our productivity, personal relationships and even physical health.
How do we cope? By learning to set boundaries on our technology-related habits, we can reclaim ownership of our attention and become happier, healthier, higher-functioning human beings.
Mindful Movement, Ergonomics, and Posture
This refreshing workshop examines how our bodies respond to stress, from tension holding patterns to repetitive interactions with everyday office objects, furniture and devices.
Participants will learn:
Overview of optimal sitting, standing and working postures
To address and prevent common issues and ailments
Breath awareness and breathing exercises
Office-friendly guided stretching and chair yoga
Many of us regularly impose repetitive, stressful habits on our bodies without even realizing it. We clench our jaw in concentration, strain our neck and hands with computers and smartphones, favor leaning or crossing on one side, compress in our low back while sitting, etc. And then we go about our day resigned to nagging discomfort - sometimes even serious pain! - that is entirely preventable.
Through body awareness and the application of basic principles and best-practices, we can identify and overcome our individual holding patterns and misalignments.
De-Stress At Your Desk
A great introduction to mindfulness, meditation and body awareness as stress-management tools for busy professionals.
Participants will learn:
Research-backed training on mindful stress-management
Mind, body and breath awareness tools for stress intervention
Mindful movement techniques including guided chair-yoga
Habit-development techniques to promote sustainable practice
One in five employees calling out sick are actually "sick" with stress. One in two office workers will lose an hour or more in productivity every day because they are too stressed to be effective. Fortunately, we can break the stress cycle with simple and effective practices that are accessible to us any time, anywhere. In addition to learning about and discussing research and best practices, attendees will experience a guided meditation, enjoy some office-friendly stretching, and leave with printable one-sheets for ongoing support.
De-Stress At Your Desk is as experiential as it is educational, providing a strong foundation on which each individual can develop and personalize a more mindful, productive and satisfying approach to work and life.
