Corporate wellbeing

Yoga and mindfulness programmes for organisations

Structured, evidence-informed wellbeing programmes designed for teams, leaders and employee wellbeing initiatives. Delivered in London and online.

Why invest in employee wellbeing?

Work-related stress, anxiety and burnout are among the leading causes of long-term absence in UK workplaces. The Health and Safety Executive reported 22.1 million working days lost to work-related stress, depression or anxiety in Great Britain in 2024/25.

Deloitte's 2024 research estimates the annual cost of poor mental health to UK employers at £51 billion — through presenteeism, absenteeism and staff turnover. Well-designed employee wellbeing initiatives may contribute to engagement, retention and productivity when integrated within wider organisational support.

Yoga, breathwork and mindfulness can complement established approaches to workplace wellbeing. Regular practice may support stress regulation, focus and resilience — though outcomes vary between individuals and yoga is not a substitute for professional mental health care.

In their own words

"Bhavin's twice-weekly lunchtime sessions are a perfect midday stress buster and a convenient opportunity for team bonding. For staff spending time at desks or traveling, these sessions have greatly benefited posture, concentration, and alertness. Bhavin takes into account medical concerns and injuries, delivering sessions suitable for mixed abilities. We would happily recommend him for employee well-being in the workplace."

"I started yoga lessons with Bhavin a year ago. At the beginning, I could only manage simple stretches, but over the year I have progressed to much more advanced positions. His style of teaching is excellent and really helps you develop both physical and mental awareness. After each session, I feel energised and stronger, ready to take on the challenges of the day. I strongly recommend Bhavin as a yoga instructor."
