YOGA, MEDITATION & MINDFULNESS FOR ORGANISATIONS
Supporting staff wellbeing, focus and resilience through yoga, meditation and mindfulness-based practices

Workplace Wellbeing

Modern working environments place significant demands on attention, energy and emotional resilience. Practices drawn from yoga, meditation and mindfulness offer practical ways to regulate stress, cultivate clarity and support wellbeing in the midst of busy professional lives.

I work with organisations to offer accessible sessions that introduce these practices in a thoughtful and practical way. Sessions are designed to be inclusive and suitable for people with no previous experience.

Sessions can be delivered in person or online, and may be offered as one-off workshops, short courses or regular sessions as part of a workplace wellbeing programme.

Sessions for Organisations

Workplace Yoga & Movement

Gentle yoga and mindful movement practices designed to support physical ease and mental clarity, particularly for those who spend long hours working at desks or on screens.

Sessions may include:

• simple yoga and mobility practices
• posture awareness for desk-based work
• breathing practices to support energy and focus
• short relaxation practices

Sessions are accessible to all levels and require no previous experience.

Meditation & Mindfulness

These sessions introduce simple meditation and mindfulness practices that support calm, clarity and focus within busy working lives.

Participants are guided through practices that cultivate awareness of breath, body and mind, helping them respond more skilfully to stress and pressure.

Meditation sessions can be offered as introductory sessions, guided practice groups or regular weekly sessions.

Regular Workplace Meditation Sessions

Short guided meditation sessions can be offered as a regular part of a workplace wellbeing programme.

Typically lasting 20–30 minutes, these sessions provide an opportunity for staff to pause during the working day, settle the mind and reconnect with a sense of balance and clarity.

Regular sessions help participants gradually develop a sustainable meditation practice and are accessible to people with no previous experience.

Introduction to Mindfulness

  • "I found it profoundly liberating and recommend the course to anyone who is up for transforming their life. Thank you Joyce for your guidance, professionalism and wisdom."

    PETER

  • "I registered for the course hoping to learn more about mindfulness, and was pleasantly surprised as it was so much more than that. Joyce created a safe space where we could reflect on life experiences and how our meditation practice could help us respond in different ways."

    KAREN

  • "The sessions were a mixture of insightful instruction, guided meditations and group sharing in a safe environment. Joyce was empathetic and compassionate, but also organised and well-prepared. She held the space so well, especially for those of us who were a little tentative or unsure of ourselves. I came away feeling I’d learned a lot, and that I now have a toolkit of techniques I can use in my own practice... I couldn’t recommend this course more highly. It was worth every penny."

    CLAIRE

  • "Finding time to do the MBSR course with Joyce is the best choice I have made this year. No two sessions are the same but the outcome of all of them is that you find yourself in a better emotional, psychological and physical space."

    YOLANDA

  • "Attending the MBSR course with Joyce is the greatest gift I could give myself this challenging year. The course not only provides tools to manage stress and anxiety but taught me how to build a regular meditation practice. One of the outcomes is that I find myself more at peace and happier."
