Returning to the office and feel you need an emotional reset? Or do you just feel physically stiff and tight as your routine changes?

Stress is a feeling of emotional or physical tension. It is associated with frustration, anger, or nervousness. It can be a natural reaction but it may become unbearable once it becomes out of control.

Physical tightness and stress are inextricably linked. Our bodies produce cortisol and adrenaline in response to emotional stress and they in turn produce sensation in the muscles that make them feel tight.

Did you know this is why Kath studied her yoga teacher training and started running classes at Viva? Yoga is a great way of creating mental and physical relaxation, to reduce stress and anxiety. Swipe left to find out more about what Kath has to say.

Want to improve your ergonomics?
Good ergonomics are key for both your home office and city office environment.

Here are 3 tips from Kath to make your workspace comfortable and appropriate.
