Think Chinese medicine is all acupuncture and herbs? If so, then think again…

Yang sheng is a huge part of Chinese medicine and a self-healing system which is over 5000 years old. It directly translates as ‘nourish life’ and is a self-healing system of simple methods which can easily be done before you leave for work, or at your desk. They are quick to learn and will put you back in the driving seat of good health. All in all, it’s a definitive health solution you never knew existed. This workshop is aimed specifically at marketing agency staff and is based on Katie Brindle’s best-selling book, Yang sheng – the art of Chinese self-healing.

What is it & how will it help?

Agency work is fast-paced and knowledge-based, so preserving your emotional health is paramount. And because it works very much with an ‘always on’ culture, the pressure can be immense in an environment dictated by budgetary restraints, constant deadlines, on-demand creativity and calculated risks.

Learning the simple techniques of yang sheng will dramatically improve your energy, boost your mood and restore your balance and calm. It’s about more than de-stressing. It’s about keeping your body and mind well, to stop you getting sick in the first place.  Chinese medicine is ancient, yet more relevant today than ever. Life has evolved, but the mechanisms of our body haven’t really changed.

Despite having such ancient roots, this yang sheng workshop deals with the very modern challenges of a career in marketing – from stress to sleeplessness and anxiety to poor digestion. That’s because it’s based on a holistic and sophisticated understanding of how we function and how our mental and physical health are intimately connected.

We’ll teach you how to safeguard mental health in your agency by equipping you with a simple, yet hugely effective coping strategies. You’ll learn how to carve out minutes during the work day to calm your nervous system and instantly switch your mind off for quick, yet effective re-boots. These techniques are not only powerfully effective, they’re fun and soothing, too.

During this workshop, acclaimed practitioner of Chinese medicine Katie Brindle will reveal ground-breaking techniques to transform the way you look after your agency staff’s health. We’ll teach you daily rituals that are as quick and simple as brushing your teeth. They fit perfectly into a hectic schedule, enabling you to deal with stress as it happens, rather than letting it build up in the body.

*Boost your energy levels
*Calm your nervous system

Some of the techniques will be new to you, some may seem unusual, some you will instantly love. But they are all simple to learn and quick to do.
