Desktop Yoga

Desktop Yoga has been designed to be practiced at your office desk. Sessions can run from 30 to 90 minutes, and can be conducted within a small space without the need for special equipment or clothing. All you need is a chair and your normal working attire. This simplicity makes Desktop Yoga sessions ideal for conferences, training sessions and offices where space and time is limited!

Each session consists of simple Yoga poses and stretches especially suited to the office worker, to release tension across the neck, shoulders, lower and upper back areas. These stretches are complimented by modified Yoga standing poses to address correct posture, both seated and standing and bring strength and tone to the entire body. Sessions conclude with a relaxation period or meditation practice, to bring clarity and calmness to the mind.

Our aim for Desktop Yoga is to teach participants how to stretch at their desk and encourage them to incorporate these movements into their normal working day – just as having a cuppa becomes part of their day, so too will Desktop Yoga.

Our teaching style is informal, gentle and relaxed, and each participant is encouraged to practice to their own body’s ability, stretching and strengthening at their individual pace, with poses modified to suit these individual needs. Classes aren’t too strenuous, so a shower afterwards isn’t necessary.

WellBeing@Work Desktop Yoga sessions can be incorporated into your conference or staff training session - as a short stretch break or as a 90 minute full Yoga and Meditation Workshop (see Wellbeing Workshop) to deal with stress in the workplace. As time and space is flexible the maximum number of participants is only limited by the number of chairs in the room.

Classes can be booked as a one off session or in six weeks blocks. Desktop Yoga can be conducted anytime across the working day, including sessions at lunchtime or before and after work - or you could book a Desktop Yoga session for your next conference.
