Albany Yoga Room workplace wellbeing programme

Time options available

Albany Yoga Room has developed an innovative and affordable initiative to help local employers to improve the health and well-being of their staff.

Our Workplace Wellbeing programme allows groups of colleagues to take one hour a week to enjoy the physical and mental benefits of practising yoga.

Alleviating stress in the workplace is a top priority for high-performing businesses as, over time, it can take a physical and emotional toll on staff and impact on productivity. Studies have shown that regular practice of yoga poses and breathing techniques encourage the body and mind to relax, relieving feelings of anxiety and tension.

Benefits for employees

• Yoga teaches you how to relax deeply, enabling you to deal with stress more efficiently, to breathe easier and to sleep better. Stress is now recognised as a common factor in a multitude of illnesses and alleviating this improves general wellbeing.
• Many students find relief from back or joint problems, tight muscles, headaches and a variety of other physical ailments through yoga
• Yoga can improve circulation, digestion and strengthen your immune system.
• After only a short period of consistent practice, you will enjoy renewed vigour and energy, both physical and mental

Benefits for businesses

• Healthier, less stressed employees perform better and have fewer sick days, resulting in greater productivity.
• Employees are your greatest asset – providing staff with wellbeing programmes improves morale, job satisfaction and raises employee retention rates.
• Taking part in activities outside the office improves team culture and workplace camaraderie.
• Workplace wellness programmes enhance the public image of the company, increasing its reputation as a great place to work.

Class details

There are a couple of options – businesses can either pay for staff to take part or simply promote the programme and support staff to take time out of the office to do it at their own cost.

Each class is an hour long and is suitable for beginners and those who have previously practised yoga. All equipment is set out for you.

Where: Albany Yoga Room, 36 William Pickering Drive
When: We currently have openings for Workplace Wellbeing courses within the day.

What most people say

Can I book for a large group and connect with you each week with approximate numbers for our yoga set-up?

Yes we can teach up to 27 students with full yoga props, but have made room for more when needed.

Walk in and walk out all your time is spent in yoga?

We have found your teams need to commit to a few sessions which is why we suggest five weeks. Then if work pressures make it impossible to come to one of those weeks they won’t miss out on gaining the benefits of a course.

Costs

We have endeavoured to keep costs low so this is an affordable programme for local businesses. Please note Fees must be paid before the programme commences.

The fees will be $150 per class within a five-week course. However if you’re interested in a bespoke event please make contact to make arrangements.

Please let me know if you have any questions or need further information about our Workplace Wellbeing programme. We look forward to helping you and your staff start a journey to better health.
