Description

Amy Cuddy’s Power Poses are simple exercises that show how holding your body can make a difference in how you feel and positively affect your mood and confidence.

These exercises act as Brain Breaks to recirculate the oxygenated blood to your brain, reset the mind, and improve learner focus.

In addition, with a slight tweak, these Power Poses can be used for simple and effective self defense.

This session is dedicated to the memory of Marc Helgesen, the inspiration behind the Mind and Body Space Happy Room.
