Ergonomics in the Classroom

Simple Solutions for Prolonged Sitting

Use a disc pad to allow hip movement while feet are flat on the floor.

Use a yoga ball intermittently as a chair.  Use of yoga balls need to be gradual as to not cause muscle fatigue.

Alter seating arrangement of particular students depending on their posture between classes.

Cue students to change posture; deep breathing 1,2,3 technique is often easiest and quickest method.

Alter lessons so different work spaces are needed every forty-fifty minutes.

Teach stretching techniques that can be used in class without affecting others.
