Whether your employees struggle with musculoskeletal disorders, stress and anxiety or need to get that boost of energy and focus, we’ve got you! A happy, healthy and motivated workforce is more likely to feel valued and stay with the company for long.

Create your bespoke session and programmes:

Our energising programmes are more fast-paced and aimed at boosting productivity and focus through a blend of breath and movement. This is for all those go-getters and high achievers who find it easier to relax when first taken to a high that allows them to drop to a calmer baseline after.

In our energetic Yoga Flow you may break into a sweat! The individual movements can be a steady Vinyasa flow with a focus on synching movement and breath, or we can teach Kriyas that are comparable to burpees and won’t take you a minute to get out of breath and your heart rate up. They combine concentration, movement and accelerated diaphragmatic breathing in order to achieve not only a high intensity workout, but also an efficient gas exchange that will leave you relaxed and refreshed for your day at the office and your evening of winding down.

You might choose a vigorous Laughter Yoga class – whether you’ve got a fun and loud team or your office is very heads-down and quiet, we’ll manage to get you to a state of incessant deep belly laughter which you might find absurd to begin with but which will morph into an effective release of positive neurotransmitters and feel-good hormones – and before you know it, you’ll be out of your overthinking mind and in your relaxed body, where we should all spend a little more time, rather than taking ourselves too seriously.

We all know that sitting at a desk is hard on the body. Long working hours are one of the most frequent causes of headaches, backaches, shoulder stiffness and many musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). These posture-focused sessions are tailored to office workers who deal with stress and strain and they will help prevent and treat MSDs.

Our vision is to give employees the tools to be healthier and happier overall. It’s important to us that our clients are able to incorporate our weekly exercises into their daily office routine. As you’re working right at your desk, a Chair Yoga class is perfect to ensure that exercises can become a regular part of your short daily breaks.

In our Computer Ergonomics sessions, we teach you how to adjust your posture, your hardware and your workstation in order to minimise musculoskeletal disorders such as carpal tunnel syndrome or other repetitive strain injuries associated with desk jobs.

If you fancy something a bit less active, or you’re naturally skeptical and not convinced yet, let us explain through the latest research in neuroscience, epigenetics and quantum physics how yoga, breathing and meditation can take your staff productivity and wellbeing to the next level.

With topics ranging from “Building Resilience through Mindfulness and Pranayama” to “The Benefits of Yoga for Parents and Children” and “Sleep Management”, we offer a variety of one-hour talks and longer workshops around health and wellbeing in the office and we’re happy to create bespoke presentations for you. Just get in touch for more information and a quote.

We organise Staff Health & Wellbeing Days, for which we will create a bespoke offering for you and your team, incorporating grounding and energising elements of your physical practice with a focus on team-bonding exercises to improve staff loyalty and happiness.

We also have a lot of fun and healthy activities to shake up your Client Events which is guaranteed to create some love for your company.

79% of office workers in London say they feel stressed as part of their day job. Our grounding programmes are aimed at relaxing and rejuvenating you and your team, instilling a calm and focus, which will lead to improved productivity. Most importantly, we’ll leave you knowing exactly how to get into this frame of (body and) mind when we’re not there to help out.

Slow Yoga is full of gentle movements and long-held postures which destress your tense muscles, stretch into your connective tissue and get you to breathe consciously to relax the muscles and mind. These programmes and sessions are perfect for all levels and a great way to let you unwind no matter what time of the day.

Mindfulness & Meditation Practices (such as visualisations, mantra, chants or Yoga Nidra) are particularly good for very busy employees who feel like they never get a break. We’ll get you to concentrate on yourself, your breathing and your body, and being fully present in the moment. Our approach to meditation is backed by the latest science rather than focusing on religion or spirituality. We guide our clients through breathing exercises, visualisations or body scans, giving them the opportunity to observe rather than judge their thoughts and feelings.

Our Essential Breathing emerged from our observation that a lot of people don’t realise they don’t breathe properly, which can cause a lot of mental as well as physical issues. We teach the efficient use of clavicular, intercostal and diaphragmatic breathing as well as the importance of prolonged exhalation for de-stressing and focusing employees. Our essential breathing programmes are for corporate clients who get nervous before meetings, presentations or any other type of situation that stresses you and worsens your breathing pattern. We practice a particular set of Pranayama breathing techniques which the employees can resort to whenever such a situation arises and whether they’re alone or in an open-plan office.

Sound Baths are another wonderful way to reset your mind and every cell in your body. Different instruments are played while participants sit or lie down and relax, maybe even drift in and out of sleep. You’ll feel a deep sense of relaxation and rejuvenation after our session.

How we work

We tailor all our yoga classes to our clients’ needs: how much do employees sit, travel, stand, carry heavy loads? Is there a tendency towards back issues and other musculoskeletal disorders? Are employees prone to certain work-related injuries?

You can book a one-off yoga session for your staff health and wellbeing week or a client event. But any client who ends up booking us for six or more sessions within half a year will qualify for our reduced regular session prices.

We will hold our yoga classes in one of your (meeting) rooms or simply at your desk. No space is too small for us and no time too short. And all you need to bring to the session is yourself.

We target the body parts that are challenged by a desk job. We read the room and teach the class you need: would you benefit from a calming session including Pranayama breathing and meditation or something more upbeat and energetic leaving you focused and productive?

No matter the so-called style (Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Iyengar, Rocket, Kundalini, Yin etc.), you are on the path of Hatha Yoga – other paths may have nothing to do with physical practice. Whether fast or slow, gentle or tough, the immediate benefit is a control over your body’s chemistry. The long-term benefit is a change in your brain’s architecture, freeing you from old structures of thinking and unconscious biases, making you calmer, more resilient and content overall.
