Office Yoga
Sheffield Yoga School offers tailor made Yoga sessions for your workplace.
Why do Yoga at work?
There can be a lot of pressure at work nowadays, which is fine if we have the tools to manage it. It is when pressure begins to feel unrelenting that people start to struggle.
A Yoga session provides time and space for people to let go the stress and strain of a busy day, to recharge their batteries and to relax!
Yoga creates a balance of energy and calm in the body, and clarity in the mind. When we find this balance everything we do, including work, is easier and more productive.
Our Yoga sessions are friendly and down to earth; we cater for everyone. Sharing a Yoga practice at work brings people together in an easy and positive environment.
A good Yoga session will make your office a better place to be!

What our clients say…
Sheffield Yoga School have worked with a wide range of businesses over the years, from schools, colleges and community groups, to multi-national companies, the NHS and football teams.
We don’t generally ask for references but this is an example of some of the feedback we’ve had.
“Chris did a delightful yoga session for the doctors at Sheffield Teaching Hospital on our well being day. Very few of us had any experience of yoga before and he delivered it perfectly to match our ability.”
Dr Avneesh Kumar,
Sheffield Teaching Hospital
“I had known of Chris and Hannah’s work at Sheffield Yoga School for a while when I initially commissioned them to run a series of Yoga classes as part of a charity provision to improve the health of residents in a deprived area of Sheffield ten years ago. They have continued to provide these classes and developed a strong reputation for the welcoming, caring, kind and supportive atmosphere that they achieve within their groups.
They have a wide range of experience in running their own school and have been able to tailor delivery to address specific needs and changing groups of people. Whether the emphasis has been on improving physical health, managing stress and mental health issues or introducing people to mindfulness Chris and Hannah have always found imaginative ways of helping people move forwards in a positive way.
They have also shown great commitment to ensuring a highly professional and reliable service and at times have amazed me with their ability to deliver in challenging circumstances. I am very happy to recommend Sheffield Yoga School to you and have absolutely confidence in their ability to deliver a service of the highest quality.”
Dave Lipka,
Surehealth (a Charity in Sheffield promoting healthy living)
“Prior to Covid, we used Chis and Hannah’s Sheffield Yoga School for staff to take a little break out of work and to practice some yoga and meditation at our office. Chris and Hannah couldn’t have been more accommodating with our requirements, they were always punctual and gave great classes, including handouts to help practice at home.
Even when covid began, they adapted to the situation and gave us online classes, which were just as good. I would highly recommend Chris and Hannah to anyone who is looking for company yoga/mediation sessions for their employees.”

“Chris and Hannah from Sheffield Yoga School each lead a 20-people yoga session, one being mat based and the other chair yoga, for our large staff group who support children with motor disabilities. They were both very understanding of the mixed abilities within each group and prepared the sessions to suit the varying needs of the staff. Each session was a combination of mindfulness and movement, accompanied with clear instruction and explanation of the methodology to further encourage and support our staff.
Our staff all thoroughly enjoyed the sessions, commenting that they were: ‘very relaxing and helpful after a long day of work’ and ‘felt like enough of a challenge to push myself, but still remained calming’. Thank you to both Chris and Hannah for their excellent work.”

“To support Mental Health Awareness Week 20204, we here at OCF Limited organised numerous activities to raise awareness of mental health in the workplace and to get our employees involved. This year we focussed on Movement: Moving for our Mental Health and invited Sheffield Yoga School to provide a yoga session here at our offices in Chapeltown, Sheffield.
Sarah, our yoga instructor was brilliant, she encouraged everyone to get involved explaining each movement and position clearly and eloquently, everyone thoroughly enjoyed the hour-long session and expressed how they enjoyed learning relaxation techniques as demonstrated by Sarah. Many thanks Sheffield Yoga School, I am sure we will arrange further sessions soon.”

“Chris provides a much-needed calming and restorative space for us at Zest on a Wednesday lunchtime. He effortlessly adapts the sessions to suit different numbers, needs, room temperatures! And always finds a replacement teacher if he’s off, ensuring that we never miss our Wednesday yoga. Thank you!”
Lucy Gray
ZEST (Community Well-being Centre, Sheffield).
“We were in Sheffield for a hen weekend and had a yoga class to begin our weekend. The class was excellent – really thoughtfully planned and very relaxed, suitable for all levels.
The room was beautiful and very calming, and Helena was so accommodating and helpful. We were so pleased with the lesson, I would thoroughly recommend Sheffield Yoga School for those looking for activities in Sheffield.”
Laura Underwood

“We got in touch with Sheffield Yoga School to arrange a yoga event for our members. Chris was fantastic from the first email, providing clear information about the different options, availability and what was on offer. He was very flexible in helping us find a date and time that would suit us and was a dream to organise the event with both beforehand and on the day itself.
The session was exactly what we hoped for in terms of the level of ability and style, which suited the mixed level group. We have had fantastic feedback from everyone who attended and will definitely contact Sheffield Yoga School next time we arrange a session.”
