Seminars

For employees of TU Braunschweig

The seminar is particularly aimed at employees who want to actively tackle the new challenges and changes in the second half of their lives. As we age, the demands on our bodies and minds change: physical complaints or exhaustion occur more frequently, while at the same time the desire for health, resilience and balance grows. Through a mixture of theory and information, interactive exercises and individual reflection, you will gain inspiration for personal strategies to promote your health and well-being in the long term.

The spine is both a support and a movement organ. The spine consists of vertebrae connected by intervertebral discs. There are many causes of back pain. Often, poor posture in everyday life (including at work), weakened muscles, lack of exercise and/or being overweight cause the back muscles to tense up or become blocked. For this reason, strengthening the core muscles is essential. 

• Anatomy of the spine
• Causes of back pain
• Importance of the core muscles
• Practical exercises

For employees of TU Braunschweig

Did you know that there is such a thing as ‘incorrect breathing’? We often breathe too much, too quickly, too strenuously and through our mouths – both in everyday life, under stress and at night. This unhealthy way of breathing increases physical stress and has negative effects on our health. But it is possible to relearn healthy breathing. With just a few minutes of daily practice, you can significantly improve your health, balance and energy levels. This event shows why it is worth focusing on your own breathing and combines theoretical knowledge about healthy breathing with practical breathing exercises.

Key topics:

• Healthy breathing – what is it?
• Effects of healthy breathing
• Balance of oxygen and CO2 in the body
• Mouth breathing vs. nose breathing
• Practical breathing exercises

Please note: This is an online event. Therefore, a microphone/headset is required to participate.
