TIPS & TRICKS
- Remember! Less is more. Don’t try to translate everything you do in class to online. It will end up being a lot of work for you and overwhelming for the learner.
MOVESAFE
Don’t forget to stretch in your home office! It’s important to still keep up with your daily movement routines. We do!
