Before Burnout...There Is Freeze

In today's high-demand work environments, stress doesn't always look dramatic.

It shows up quietly:

• prolonged sitting

• physical stiffness

• mental fatigue

• reduced focus and clarity

Before burnout, teams often enter a "freeze" state — where tension accumulates in the body and performance begins to decline.

The Unfreezing Hour™ is a structured, one-hour experience designed to help employees reset, restore, and return to work with greater clarity and ease.

What is the Unfreezing Hour™?

The Unfreezing Hour™ is a guided workplace session that integrates:

• gentle Tai Chi (Sun Style)

• Shibashi Qigong

• Breath awareness

• Functional, low-impact movement

• Brief reflective practice

It is designed to be:

• accessible to all fitness levels

• safe for adults of varying mobility

• suitable for both active and sedentary roles

No prior experience is required.

The Session Flow

Each session follows a carefully designed progression to support nervous system regulation and physical release:

The Thaw

Gentle Qigong movements release tension in the joints, shoulders, and breath.

The Spark

A short, light group movement builds engagement while activating lower-body strength and stability.

The Flow

Sun Style Tai Chi develops balance, coordination, and focused attention through smooth, continuous movement.

The Integration

A mindful cool-down allows the body to settle and absorb the effects of the session.

The Reflection

Participants are invited to briefly note physical or mental shifts — supporting awareness and retention of the experience.

• Reduced physical tension from prolonged sitting
