Once you complete your booking above, you’ll automatically receive a confirmation with all of the details that you need for the event! We’ll provide a unique Zoom meeting room link, as well as instructions for you to share with your colleagues on how to setup Zoom
We have a strong preference for Zoom because its breakout room function enables the smoothest experience. When necessary, we’ve hosted events on Google Meet, Microsoft Teams and Cisco WebEx for smaller groups, but they tend to have a slightly more clunky experience
Yes, this event can handle hybrid teams. When you book, indicate that part of your team will be in the same physical space. One of our event coordinators will follow up with you to coordinate logistics.

+ PREPARING FOR THE EVENT
2 simple steps! Share this information from your confirmation:
1) The unique Zoom meeting link
2) Instructions on how to download Zoom desktop with your team to make sure they’re properly set up to join the event
We handle the rest! There is no special prep or setup needed.
We do not handle event registrations at this time. We found that event registration was best handled by team and event organizers who have full context for the attendees. We’re happy to suggest ways to manage this process if helpful
There is no special setup needed! This event can be performed by anyone, anywhere. Participants will be seated for most of the event. The only movement happens during the chair yoga portion. It is not strenuous and can be done from any chair, including an office chair.
+ ADDITIONAL ACTIVITY DETAILS
The group signs onto Zoom with our facilitators for a brief verbal intro. Our yoga instructor will then introduce and guide everyone through the first exercise.
See the “The Activity” section above for a complete picture of how the event works.
It’s important to us that everyone participate in whatever way feels natural and comfortable for them, regardless of their skill-level, abilities or experience. Our yoga instructor will emphasize this throughout the event. Participants are also welcome to turn off their cameras and mics for any portion of the event.
Zoom has the ability to create private breakout rooms within a larger group, and our host can move you in and out of those rooms on command.
After the first and third activity, everyone will be divided into groups of 3-4 and sent to breakout rooms to discuss they’re experiences during the event and whether / how they want to incorporate the day’s activities into their daily work lives.
After each session, the groups will be brought back to the main session. Groups are moved to and from the breakout rooms automatically by our hosts. There’s nothing that you need to manage.
Back in the main session, our yoga instructor will invite people to share any highlights from their discussions. Sharing is completely voluntary and no one is pressured to contribute if they don’t want to.
Our host takes care of that for you! You’ll always be in the right place at the right time
No, this is not a game and people don’t collect points or compete to win. The objective and design of the activity is to teach mindfulness, relaxation and wellness techniques that people can incorporate into their daily work lives to reduce stress and improve their health and well-being
+ ACTIVITY CONTENT
This activity is for work teams who are looking to form richer connections with each other while learning how to reduce stress and improve their health and well-being in their daily work lives.
It is appropriate for corporate audiences. Our expert event facilitators have hosted many events for many different teams, and the activity itself features no mature content.
We are happy to work with you to provide the experience that you’re looking for and will do our best to accommodate your needs. Please schedule time with our event coordinators to discuss.
