Where do you do your best thinking?
Out for a run, up a mountain or on a boat?
We all run from one thing to another, no time, constantly switched on & glued to the phone. When do you balance this? How do you clear your head to spark new ideas?
Give yourself a little downtime to get more out of your day! Get your head out of a screen & put things back into perspective.
Who can do yoga?
Anyone who wants to do something to feel better in their own skin & unwind.
You don't need to be flexible at all to feel the benefits; you'll be surprised how little it takes to notice a difference. You can profit physically & mentally from the movement & breathing whether you do a little or a lot.
Benefits
Yoga is basically a moving meditation that makes you feel great.
You switch off the persistent brain stimulation that's coming at you from everywhere & give your mind a chance to declutter itself & refocus.
You counteract the effects of sitting all day e.g. compression of your lower back. By moving your body in all directions you decompress your spine & open up parts of the body that are tight & short.
You let yourself recharge by releasing tightness in the body to allow energy to flow freely.
What is a class like?
A fun mix of dynamic Ashtanga yoga poses to get you moving, build strength & completely forget you are in the office. Balanced with super-relaxing Yin yoga poses to de-stress & release tension.
Poses & class sequences can be adapted to what people want & time of day.
When?
06.00 - 08.00 | Yoga before work | |
12.00 - 14.00 | Lunchtime yoga | |
17.00 - 19.00 | Yoga after work |
If you have shower facilities in your office, we can do active, strength-buidling poses at any time of day.
Otherwise, a sequence of long-held passive stretches will de-stress & work muscles & fascia without the need for a shower afterwards.
Where?
We want people to feel relaxed & able to focus on themselves, so a meeting room with some privacy is perfect.
The size of the space depends on the number of people; you can estimate 2m² per person.
What to wear?
Wear comfortable active-wear that allows you to move. No shoes needed - yoga is practised barefoot so that you can you can feel the ground beneath your feet. Bring an additional layer such as a long-sleeved top & socks for the final relaxation poses.
Special Events
Incorporate a yoga lesson into your teambuilding day, your wellness-at-work initiative or as part of your plan to support transitional challenges within the workplace.
