Uni-Sports Programmes (Semester 1 2025-26)

Days after days sitting in front of the computer and in the office makes our back tense and the shoulders slouching, so this class aims to relax and stretch those stiff muscles that cause problems to our spine and neck.

In the class, we will focus on releasing the tension on the back and build up strong and elastic muscles that support our spine. Good postures for the back and shoulders are crucial; we will work on those muscles that give us strength to open the shoulders and the upper chest. On our back, we will learn how to draw the scapulas down and elongate the muscles on the lower back in order for us to sit up straight. Apart from muscular training, shifting the focus of the mind to sense the body and face our emotions would be very useful to reduce stress in the brain. We will spend time on training the mind to scan the body and learn to listen to the messages sent from our body.

They are suitable for all levels, including beginners, and can help alleviate stress, tension, and improve overall wellbeing.
