Workplace Mindfulness, Meditation & Deep Relaxation
A busy lifestyle in a modern urban or corporate environment can be a nightmare for the subtle physiology of the body and mind, taking a toll on our sense of wellbeing and vitality.
Time To Tame The Mind & Learn To Switch Off
So we often think that we can’t wait to ‘switch off’ but then when it comes down to it, what we actually do is distract ourselves instead — TV, laptop, phones, whatever it is to keep away from the dreaded ‘inner dialogue,’ streams of consciousness, or loops of thoughts that pass through the mind.
Mindfulness, meditation, and deep relaxation provide ways to intentionally “switch off” far beyond our usual capacity. They help quiet the constant inner chatter and offer practical skills you can draw on when life feels overwhelming or your perspective starts to slip.
Considerable scientific evidence and research has demonstrated numerous benefits of mindfulness and meditation in many aspects of life; from stress reduction and pain management, to better sleep, improved focus and concentration, increased happiness, more clarity and confidence and improved empathy.
“I don’t just employ great teachers to work in my team, they are great people! They all resonate with my own approach that alongside wellbeing practices a sense of connection and community are fundamental to health!”
A Space Of Tranquility
Classes offer a space of pause, tranquility, and safe creative exploration; We learn how to be present in the moment, how to understand the interplay of mind and body, and how to allow access to inner resources for coping with the challenges of contemporary life.
You will be guided through simple exercises that can be also used throughout the working day and at home. These include: Breathing techniques for stress reduction, body scanning, movement meditation and gentle stretching, mindfulness of thinking and feeling, mindfulness of sounds & self-kindness practice.
Most of these exercises are done seated on a chair or optionally a cushion on the floor. There may also be some stretching/movement to release physical tension so comfortable clothing is recommended. No previous experience is needed.
Deep Relaxation
We often incorporate deep relaxation into our bespoke classes, wellness week programmes and one-off events. Deep relaxation stimulates the relaxation response quickly.
Remarkably, it’s recognised that 30 minutes of being in the relaxation response has the equivalent benefit of 3 to 4 hours of sleep. Please enquire with us if you would like a deep relaxation practice included as part of your class.
