IMPROVE EVENTS
Events demand a lot from delegates, to listen to more presentations and contribute to more discussions than in a typical work day. The flow of ideas can be overwhelming and particularly challenging when people are sluggish after lunch.
Which is why more organisations shape their event agendas to include sessions of movement, meditation, mental relaxation, visualisation and breathwork, designed to:
-
Boost energy
-
Improve focus
-
Digest ideas
People absorb information better when they feel alert and energised.

THE BENEFITS
Staff wellbeing
Not only does regular meditation calm the mind and reduce stress, it also improves mood, sleep and resilience, helping people become happier, healthier and stronger.
Business wellbeing
Over half of all work days lost are due to stress and anxiety. Doctors now prescribe meditation as a simple way to reduce stress. It's free, has no side effects and is scientifically proven to work.
Breath Meditation For Employees
Many people believe that office meditation is difficult, something that involves complicated techniques that are hard to master. But when meditation is linked to the breath, it’s simple. When we focus our mind on our breath, there is an almost instant calming effect. Try it now. Start to lengthen your breath, with your eyes closed, follow the journey of the breath from your belly up to your collar bones. Focus on the sound of your breath.
The simplest way to relax the mind and energise the body is to breathe consciously. Rather than the automatic process of breathing, this changes the flow of oxygen, our mood and therefore how we respond to what’s going on around us. It is proven to reduce stress and improve brain function.
Corporate meditation is proving increasingly popular among organisations investing in staff wellbeing. We offer meditation at work sessions to our London based clients – face to face where possible – as well as further afield, also online for people working from home.
Why Workplace Meditation Is Important
Even before Covid-19, stress accounted for 53% of all work days lost. It’s the single biggest reason that people feel unable to cope with the pressures of work and life. We also know that stress reduces our work performance, so even if people show up for work, they’re not necessarily firing on all cylinders.
Office meditation is easy to do and is proven to reduce stress and anxiety, so the contribution it makes to productivity is plain to see. But it goes further, because meditation is also proven to result in better decision making and creative problem solving, which means that the quality of contribution – staff performance – is enhanced.
We deliver office meditation sessions in London and the south-east, as well as online throughout the rest of the UK and the world. Sessions are easy to follow, no experience is required, and staff go away with simple tools they can use at any time.
Corporate & Workplace Meditation Services, London
When a company offers meditation and other wellbeing activities, it reflects positively on its values and culture and attracts the highest calibre staff. Offering corporate meditation sessions is a way for employers to show they care about staff wellbeing because it is proven to reduce stress and improve mood.
Office meditation is a great way to help people cope with the pressures of daily living and working. It can help with specific things like getting better sleep, having more energy and focus, as well as contributing to overall better mental health
Staff who feel valued tend to perform better and remain more loyal, which is why workplace meditation is now offered as part of wellbeing programmes at all types and sizes of organisation. Organisations are helping their employees build the resilience they need to meet the unpredictable challenges and additional pressures resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic.

I’m unfit/inflexible, can I still do yoga?"Yoga is for everyone when it is well curated and well taught. Our focus is on mental strength rather than physical prowess. It is common for people with varying levels of physical fitness and experience to attend the same class, working at their own pace. Yoga is not a competitive sport, it is about the individual’s experience.

I’ve tried to meditate before and it didn’t work. What do you do that’s different?Our meditations are active, including things such as breathing techniques, visualisation and physical movement. Sitting in silence and trying not to think of anything is impossible! We guide you each step of the way so it becomes easy for you to shift your mental focus and find a meditative place.

What kind of meditation do you do?We select meditations from the Kundalini tradition, each one has a different focus, for example: energy boost, balance, attracting opportunities, reducing fear.

What does an office based yoga class look like?Classes are designed to suit each client’s needs. From a 20 minute chair based session of stretching and gentle movement, wearing work clothes, to 45 minutes of vigorous aerobic exercise.

Do we need to buy equipment?No, we supply everything you need.
