Stress release at the Tzaneen Chamber of Commerce luncheon
Physical therapist, Ursula Booth from the United States taught the Tzaneen Chamber of Commerce members how to reduce stress during the Covid-19 pandemic.
She did this during the chamber’s recent monthly luncheon at the Tzaneen Country Lodge. Booth spoke on the importance of an active lifestyle when in the midst of a health crisis. “It is important for all of us to continue to live our lives and not to allow fear to stop us from enjoying what life has to offer. “Covid-19 came with a lot of stress, fatigue and depression and it shows in everything we do. “Let us find ways to help us cope with the pressures of the pandemic and also allow our businesses to flourish,” she said.
Booth also demonstrated calming breathing exercises. She further showed exercises which can easily be done anywhere, either at home or at the office.The Indiana-based therapist came to South Africa after meeting Adri Kruger, owner of Tzaneen Country Lodge in Australia.
“I don’t think where I come from we can match the beauty and landscape of Tzaneen,” she added.

The attendees were spoilt for choice at the lodge when it came to food.
The chef prepared food ranging from cold meats, cheeses, buns and rolls, fruit salads, cakes and nuts.
As if that wasn’t enough, a saxophone player entertained guests with soothing music while floating on a river boat.
The next meeting will be hosted by Pest Control and Momentum on Friday, 22 October.
