Inside this self-paced ONLINE certification you'll go behind the scenes into the Genius Break Method to learn how you can PRACTICE and LEAD Genius Breaks:
  • Part 1: Why Genius Breaks? Learn why Genius Breaks are more important than ever for personal health and well-being. You'll learn how they are a great solution for busy people who want to sit less and move more, while managing the stress of their work or school day with mindfulness, movement and self-compassion practices. 
  • Part 2: User-Friendly Mindfulness Learn simple strategies for making mindfulness practices less overwhelming for those who aren't comfortable with them, by learning how to bring these practices  into the work and school day in a user-friendly, accessible, and fun way.
  • Part 3: Sit Less and Move More Creatively Learn Dr. Carmack's world-renowned "mindful movement vitamin" checklist -- and how you can use it to make sure you are moving yourself and your team to get the movement you need throughout the day. You'll learn why "10,000 steps" are not always enough.
  • Part 4: Engage with Compassion Learn how to engage with yourself - and your team - more compassionately with Dr. Carmack's "chakras of communication" framework. You'll discover how you can use it to reframe your daily stress for yourself so you can reboot your mind and body out of overwhelm and into joy anytime.
  • Part 5: Stop Stress Contagion This lecture will teach you an overview of the "science of stress" and how the latest research shows us that stress can become contagious. We'll then learn how you can use the the science of compassion to turn stress from a "foe into a friend," so you'll understand why it is so important to stop stress from harming you and those you work with at home, school, and work with Genius Breaks.
