Yoga

What is Yoga?

Yoga offers a complete workout for the mind and body.  No other physical exercise works in the same way, nor on as many levels.  The postures of yoga massage internal organs and rejuvenate all the systems of the body.  Like oil lubricates a car, yoga lubricates the muscles, joints and tendons and maintains the health of the spine.

Our Yoga programmes

We deliver Yoga sessions on-site.

• made up of a preparation of the body, sets of postures and exercises, concluding with a relaxation session.
• offered on a class basis only
• instructed by a fully qualified practitioner
• scheduled as 45 minute sessions
• bookable in advance
• bookable on an ad hoc basis, however classes are arranged as a course of 6 weekly sessions and participants who are able to attend regularly will enjoy the most benefit
• suitable for all ages and fitness levels: Yoga  builds skills and concentration gently at a level that most people find comfortable to accommodate
• available on a taster session basis
• available to employees on an off-site basis at a discounted rate (subject to employer support where the employer has a programme of on-site Massage sessions through UK Healthzone in place)

Personal preparation

As with all our classes and sessions, we request that all attendees complete our brief health questionnaire and take the opportunity to highlight and discuss any concerns with the practitioner in confidence before commencing any therapies. All records are held by UK Healthzone in strictest confidence and this personal health information is not made available to the employer.

We suggest that employees bring loose or comfortable clothing to wear for this activity. We tend to ask employees simply to bring themselves and an open mind.

Site requirements

For the comfort and privacy of your employees, we prefer to run this programme in a separate room wherever possible. We believe this provides the best results, but are always happy to discuss alternative options.

Evaluation

We endeavour to tailor our Yoga sessions to the needs of your employees attending them. However, we are always aware that our service to them is intrinsically linked to the needs of your organisation. We gather valuable observations about our services and their benefits through direct employee feedback. This helps us to maintain and develop the wellbeing programmes in which your organisation chooses to invest.
