DESK YOGA
Yoga is a wonderful system for building strength and flexibility of the mind and body – together. It isn’t just about skinny people in impossible positions – yoga can fit really well into the work environment.

By doing a few simple exercises during your day you will increase your energy levels, bring about peace of mind and enable you to manage your stress factors more effectively.

This 30 minute workshop takes the participant through a gentle and effective routine of stretches which can be done anywhere, anytime, in the office, on the phone, even in bed! The stretches will help to soothe aching muscles and ease tension.

GUIDED MEDITATION
This is a time to wind down and switch off from the hectic pace of your day. Learn how to relax deeply and switch off the chattering conscious mind. After this 30 minute session you will feel calm, refreshed and positive.

SLEEP AND SELF HYPNOSIS
Many people experience difficulty sleeping. There are many things you can try to enhance your chances of getting a good night’s uninterrupted sleep, and some people claim to have tried them all!!

In this workshop we talk through various ‘sleep tips’, some you have heard before, some may be new to you. You can share things that have worked for you with the rest of the group. Then you will be asked to sit comfortably and will be shown how hypnosis can help you to get to sleep. You will be fully aware of everything said and notes will be given at the end so that you can practice this hypnosis technique in your own bed.

Vida in the Workplace
“We wanted to improve moral in the office. With busy family lives it was difficult to get everyone together after work.
Vida provided a way of making our staff feel appreciated and special within the working day. The element of surprise helped for the first session, it will be harder to keep secret the next time we use them.
All the staff thoroughly enjoyed the visit and some have started using holistic methods as a result.”
David Viehoff, Commercial Director, Ultrapolymers

Managing stress at work

Stress is an inevitable but complex companion to our working lives. Without challenge and pressures, work would lack sparkle, but we all have the capacity to be overwhelmed by work related stress and to experience its exhausting effects. When stress is experienced over a long period of time it can lead to mental and physical ill health.

Just some of the physical and emotional effects of stress.

• Irritability/anger
• Tension in muscles
• Tiredness/poor sleep pattern
• Headaches
• Poor memory/lack of concentration
• Digestive upsets
• Lowered Self-esteem
• Feeling generally ‘burnt out’

What Vida can do to help you tackle the problem:

• Staff well being days
• Relaxation techniques/desk yoga
• On site complementary therapies

We work with companies large and small, schools, exhibitions and promotions.
