Common questions
Good to know before you start
Do I need any equipment?
No. Every prompt on this page is designed to work with just a chair, a small space and your own breath. A folded jumper or a thin cushion is the most you might ever need.
How often should I take a desk break?
Most members like a short pause every ninety minutes. The aim is little and often rather than one long session at the end of the day.
Are the bundles a subscription?
No. Each bundle is a one-time purchase. You download the PDF and audio files and keep them. Updates are free for the lifetime of the bundle.
Can I use these alongside other movement classes?
Absolutely. The prompts are intentionally short and gentle, so they sit comfortably alongside walking, yoga, swimming or anything else you already enjoy.
