Relieve Zoom Fatigue with Yoga

While virtual learning has been a savior during the pandemic, the increased screen time does have an impact on the body and mind.

The back, shoulders and neck tend to get stiff and the posture is impacted which in turn impacts breathing. Sitting for a long period of time results in the legs getting heavy and tired. Constantly using the keyboard sometimes results in repetitive strain injury (RSI) and soreness in the upper limbs. Excessive screen time can lead to eye strain. The eyes and brain are connected, so over-use of the eyes can result in mental fatigue as well.

Learn Yogic tips and tricks to take short, effective breaks between calls/screen-time.

Easy techniques to rebalance and strengthen the body including all the joints of the upper body and spine. These alleviate stiffness, promote healthy blood circulation and help refresh the mind.
Eye exercises to both strengthen and relax the eyes.
Simple chair relaxations and breathing practices to increase energy and productivity & relieve tiredness, both physical and mental.

Time: Thursdays 4 - 4.30 pm

Dates: 4 weeks (Classes on April 15, 22, 29, May 6)

Location: Virtual (Ironically, but to keep us safe!)

Age group: Open to Elementary & Middle School students . Siblings welcome to share the same screen.
