There truly is something about the change of season that makes life in winter just that little bit more difficult. The shorter days, loss of sunlight, colder temperatures, wetter weather – and now the increasing restrictions – all make it hard to stay healthy, eat well and keep fit and flexible.
A January 2021 survey shows, in fact, that 71% of employers now identify worker well-being as the greatest challenge posed by the remote working environment that has exploded in the wake of Covid-19.
To address these issues, and help overcome them, Pegasus Consulting has put together a panel of expert lecturers, physiotherapists, psychologists and teachers offering key presentations on how to stay energised, nourished, fit and happy all winter long, including…
Winter Wellness (Body)
• Fitness, flexibility and mobility
• Eating Well and Essential Vitamins
• Good Sleep
Winter Wellness (Mind)
• Identifying stress
• Dealing with covid-related anxiety and isolation
• Relaxation techniques
• Working From Home issues
Working From Home
• Workplace ergonomics – setting up your home desk
• Good posture while standing, sitting or working

• Advice for parents teaching their own schoolchildren
