Workplace Wellbeing Sessions In Thanet

admin — Sat, 05 May 2018 18:37:17 +0000

Reduce stress related absenteeism with yoga & corporate wellbeing sessions for your company in Thanet

Statistics show that around 17 million sick days are taken per year due to stress, anxiety or depression with 1/3 of sick days through illness in the UK being as a direct result of work related pressure and stress. By offering your employees yoga and/or wellbeing sessions in the workplace you can reduce this figure in your own business and increase productivity from your staff helping your business to fly.

Looking to improve the overall wellbeing of your staff, reduce sick days and increase productivity?

Are you noticing a rise in staff sickness, an increase in employees with emotional stress or perhaps back complaints or joint issues from being seated for long hours?

For true wellbeing we need an understanding of both the body and mind, bringing awareness to the patterns that cause imbalance in our lives. Sadly many are not taught these things and this lack of understanding and awareness then tends to lead to physical complaints, overwhelm, burnout, stress, anxiety and depression.

Corporate wellbeing sessions in Thanet, yoga classes in the workplace, one to one wellbeing sessions or wellbeing workshops for your staff can help improve physical, mental and emotional health, reducing sick days, increasing productivity and restoring the feel good factor in your place of work.

Some of the ways you can support your employees with corporate wellbeing sessions are:

Corporate Yoga Sessions

Those practising yoga have expressed a calmer outlook on life, and who wouldn’t want that? Having the ability to remain calm in a stressful situation can prove useful both in the office and at home. Emotional stress in the workplace is on the rise and having a huge effect on productivity at work. Yoga can help employees calm their nervous system and enhance their resilience in stressful environments and situations.

By stretching the body we increase the blood circulation and synovial fluid in the joints helping to prevent fatigue, joint pain and arthritis. For many who spend hours at their desks or in stressful job roles, practising yoga asanas, learning conscious breathing techniques to calm the mind, all topped off with a relaxing guided meditation can offer huge benefits for both employees and your business.

Weekly/fortnightly corporate yoga sessions for employees can be arranged at a convenient time either in person or online via zoom.

Corporate Wellbeing Workshops & Mindset Sessions

An understanding of the self, how our brain and mind works, how our heart and gut also play a large part in our wellbeing (being our 2nd and 3rd brains), knowledge of our breath, how changing our perspectives and learning simple life hacks can create more optimal health and wellbeing can be invaluable to your employees and ultimately for your business.

“It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles” is a well known quote by Buddha.

When your employees start on a journey to know themselves more, and then take action with a range of easy to do practices that they can integrate into their daily lives, they will begin to be empowered by the shifts they see in their lives. The ripple effects of these shifts then expand out into in their work and home environments, helping to support not only themselves but those they interact with, your customers, work colleagues, family and friends.

Bespoke Wellbeing sessions/workshops in the workplace can be arranged as a one off or as a block of sessions dependant on your needs.

One To One Wellbeing Sessions For Employees

Perhaps some of your employees could benefit from some one to one wellbeing sessions to support them with any struggles they may be currently facing. Many of us go through periods in our lives when we find our concerns are filtering into our work environment and having an effect on our performance in our jobs.

By supporting your staff in a productive way with one to one wellbeing sessions you can help them to change their story and ultimately shift their prospective to see the light at the end of the tunnel and come out the other side more responsible and empowered to create their happiness, performance and overall wellbeing.

Private yoga sessions 1-2-1 provide an opportunity to work on specific areas of the body that you wish to improve. After assessing your personal needs and goals I can create bespoke sessions with poses to stretch and strengthen the areas of your body you wish to work on. Pranayama (breathing techniques) will be included in your poses for you to learn how to maintain a calm, peaceful state of mind both on and off the mat.

One to one yoga sessions in Broadstairs and surrounds

After an initial consultation and a range of motion assessment if required, your private yoga sessions will be tailor made for your individual needs. Perhaps you need to work on releasing your hips and increasing your range of motion in this area of your body or wish to improve your posture & mobility, maybe you would like to work on an area that’s recovering after injury. Whatever the reason, even if it is simply to progress in your personal practice or if you just prefer one on one yoga rather than group classes, contact me today to find out more.

I cover one to one yoga sessions in Broadstairs, Margate, Ramsgate and surrounding areas in the comfort of your own home.

What to expect in a private yoga session

At first it is important to find out what your personal goals are for taking private yoga classes. Then we can focus on the best way to use this beautiful practice to achieve your goals. Whether you are looking to improve your balance, range of motion, flexibility and strength or to focus more on relaxation and de-stressing the body and mind, there is something for everyone in yoga.

Improve flexibility

Many of us have had difficulties at some time in our lives with certain parts of our body however these can be worked upon and improved with specific poses tailored to your needs

Improving balance and proprioception

With age our balance and proprioception diminishes however with the use of yoga we can improve these areas keeping our body supple and aligned.

Reduce stress

By practicing yoga, pranayama and mediation we can keep our body and mind in a harmonious state, reducing stress and cortisol levels and keeping us healthy and balanced.

What You Get From a Private Yoga Class

Working with a professional yoga teacher one to one in a private session enables you to deepen your practice allowing you to progress at a faster rate than in a group class setting as you have individual attention and the ability to ask questions about which poses are best for your body. If you suffer with stiffness in your body then this is a fantastic way to improve the range of motion for your body, strengthen your bodies proprioception, muscles and bones.

Yoga For Sports

admin — Fri, 31 Mar 2017 07:37:45 +0000

Whether you are a runner, golfer, weight lifter, footballer, boxer, cyclist, rock climber, surfer or any other sportsman or woman, yoga for sports can be a wonderful addition to enhance your performance, reduce injuries and improve focus, balance and flexibility.

Our muscles respond to how we use them and in the sports that we practice certain muscles over time may shorten or even lengthen from the repetitive actions we perform. Over time this can create limitations in our range of motion and this is where yoga for athletes can help.

Sports Yoga for Sports Teams

Group classes can be arranged for sports teams looking to work on stability, range of motion and flexibility to retrain muscles that may have been affected through your sport.

I am qualified in Sports Yoga with Sarah Ramsden (whose previous clients include Manchester United, Manchester City and many other athletes), and will be using techniques taught by Sarah, an exceptional experienced teacher in this field to help improve your performance and injury prevention.

Working with our breath on core strength and stability, spinal articulation (after all they say we are as young as our spine), and lengthening muscles that may have shortened over time, combining yoga with your current sport can help improve your performance and give you longevity in your chosen activity or athletic career.

1-2-1 Sports Yoga in Broadstairs
