Mindfulness for wellbeing
In this session, you will learn how mindfulness - which is a way of focusing your attention on the present moment - can help your brain work better, manage stress, think clearer, and manage your mood. You'll find out how it can help you sleep better, feel healthier, and even deal with pain more effectively. Shamash guides you on how to start practising mindfulness - starting with just 10 seconds a day and slowly increasing over time.
Strategies for coping with trauma
Working in the rail industry can expose people to potentially traumatic events. As a manager, you want to be equipped with the tools to protect and support your team. The team and organisation around a person can play a big role in a person's recovery after an event. This session gives practical steps managers can take before, during and after an event to reduce the risk to mental health. Managers will also learn how they can protect themselves from burnout and vicarious trauma when supporting trauma-exposed colleagues.
Qigong

However, your fitness will build from day one and after a few months of training, you might be surprised what you can do.
