Virtual office yoga and chair yoga your whole team can actually do.
Live, guided workplace yoga for distributed and hybrid teams, on Teams or Zoom. Gentle seated movement, simple breathing and a short reset, in normal work clothes, camera optional. Nothing anyone has to be fit or flexible to join.
Office yoga, desk yoga and chair yoga: what's the difference?
- Office yoga and workplace yoga
- are umbrella terms for yoga done during the workday, wherever the team happens to be. They cover any format built to fit around meetings and desk work, from a few minutes of stretching to a full guided session.
- Desk yoga
- is the narrowest of the three: gentle movements done at, or right beside, a desk. It is designed to loosen the neck, shoulders, wrists and back between tasks, without anyone leaving their workstation.
- Chair yoga
- is seated and gentle, with a standing option. It needs no mat and no changing of clothes, and it came from adaptive yoga, so it assumes a range of bodies and levels rather than the flexible few. It is the version I run for teams, live on Teams or Zoom, whether yours is fully remote, hybrid, or together in an office.
Movement a whole workforce will keep
Most corporate fitness perks are built for the people who least need them. A gym benefit rewards the already-active. Uptake settles around 12 percent, and the other 88 percent quietly opt out.
Chair yoga is the opposite. It was designed for every body in the room.
Seated, gentle and nothing athletic, so participation holds up across ages, sizes and fitness levels. That matters when roughly 80 percent of office workers report neck or back discomfort from sitting: the people who most need to move are the ones an intense class scares off.
One weekly slot, run for you
Live and guidedA real coach leads every session, the same face each week. No pre-recorded video nobody presses play on.
Seated and standingGentle mobility for the neck, shoulders, wrists, hips and lower back, the areas desk work punishes most.
Breathing built inSimple techniques your team can reuse before a meeting or a deadline, not just during the session.
Camera optionalNo activewear, no floor, nothing to perform. People join from their desk exactly as they are.
Recorded every weekIncluded for shift workers and other time zones, so nobody is left out of the habit.
One link to run itYou set the slot once. I take it from there. Zero admin for whoever organises it.
Live and scheduled beats an app or a handout
You could send your team a chair-yoga PDF or a meditation-app licence. Most companies already have, and watched usage collapse within weeks. The content is usually fine. The problem is that passive tools ask busy, tired people to start on their own, and they almost never do.
A live session in the calendar removes that step. People click one link and someone else leads. Within a few weeks it stops being a task and becomes the moment the team quietly protects.
To share alongside it, my desk yoga and chair yoga guide covers the movements in full and the 8-pose chair yoga routine works as a handout.
You will see whether it is working
Every programme comes with simple, honest reporting: how many of your team attend, and how many keep coming back. Once it is a weekly habit you get a one-page summary you can take straight to your budget-holder.
Built for distributed teams
People and culture leaders, team leads and founders at remote-first and hybrid companies who want a wellbeing habit the whole team actually keeps, not another perk that lands flat. Teams across tech, consulting, sustainability and distributed organisations.
Sessions run in English, online, across UK and European time zones, with Australian hours for part of the year. It sits alongside The Weekly Reset, which blends chair yoga with breathing and meditation in one recurring session.
Common questions
Is this office yoga, workplace yoga or chair yoga?
They are the same thing here. Office yoga and workplace yoga are umbrella terms for yoga done during the workday, and what I run is chair yoga: the seated, gentle version that needs no mat and no changing of clothes. It is live on Teams or Zoom, camera optional, and works from any desk, whether your team is remote, hybrid or in an office.
What is a virtual chair yoga session for a company?
A live, guided session over Teams or Zoom in which a coach leads your team through gentle seated and standing movement, simple breathing and a short reset, usually 15 to 30 minutes. Everyone joins from their own desk, in normal work clothes, camera optional. No mats, no changing, no experience needed.
Is chair yoga suitable for a whole workforce?
That is exactly what it is designed for. Chair yoga came from adaptive yoga, so it assumes a range of bodies, ages and fitness levels rather than the flexible few. There are no advanced poses, nothing anyone has to be fit or bendy to do, which is why participation holds up across a mixed team in a way a gym benefit never does.
How long should a corporate chair yoga session be?
For a recurring workplace session, 15 to 30 minutes is the sweet spot: long enough to reset the neck, shoulders and back and steady the nervous system, short enough to fit a lunch break or a slot between meetings without eating the day.
Does chair yoga help with the aches of desk work?
It targets them directly. Around 80 percent of office workers report neck or back discomfort, most of it from sustained sitting. Regular seated mobility for the neck, shoulders, wrists, hips and lower back is exactly the gentle, frequent movement that eases screen-related stiffness.
How much does chair yoga for a team cost?
It is priced as a monthly subscription by session frequency, not per class, so a weekly habit stays affordable. Pricing is public on the pricing page, and every engagement starts with a single pilot session so you can see how it lands before committing.
Can remote and hybrid teams do chair yoga together?
Yes, and the live online format is where it works best. There is no room to book and no travel, every location joins as an equal, cameras stay off for anyone who prefers it, and sessions are recorded for colleagues in other time zones. It reaches a distributed workforce that an on-site class never could.
