Fitness Belfast & Belfast Met: Staff CPD Conference Workshop
After our online yoga session for International Men’s Day in November, I was delighted to have been invited back to take part in in Belfast Met’s annual Staff CPD event “Challenge, Change and Opportunity” - a super busy online day featuring a fantastic range of keynotes, presentations and 32 live training sessions.

Core themes of Teaching & Learning, TEL, Quality Assurance, Health & Wellbeing, Leadership & Management and Core Skills featured in over 100 recorded/32 live events & online courses, providing staff with great learning and reflection opportunities.
My ‘Chair Exercise & Yoga’ workshop, encouraged keen staff to keep movement in mind throughout the day - you don’t have to go out and run marathons every day, even 2 minutes of movement every hour or so can make a huge difference to our physical & mental health.
Thrilled to be joining @bfastmet’s 2021 Staff Development Conf this afternoon - get set for some fun & chair based exercises you can use to banish the #WFH aches & boredom!
