Yoga and Wellness Activities for Workplaces and Remote Teams in the UK

Discover our wellness activities to practise in-person or live stream with our friendly and experienced instructors

In an era when some of your team is working from home, maintaining interaction with the office is essential. Our Yoga and Wellness activities promote a healthy lifestyle, strengthen team bonds, and improve productivity.

You could organise yoga or wellness sessions in the office to make it worthwhile for your team members to work from the office, or you could organise a livestream only session if 100% of your team works remotely.

If you have a hybrid model where some team members are based at the office and some are remote, livestream activities work well: people can participate in the same room in the office (from an open area or conference room), while working from home team members can join from home.

We provide sessions for the following wellness activities: Flow Yoga, Breathwork, Desk Yoga, Pilates, Meditation, Sound Bath, and Yoga Nidra.

Whether you organise one-off team-building events, recurring classes, or Wellness Wednesday activities, we've got you covered! Our activities suit all fitness and yoga levels and can take up to 100 participants.
