Workplace wellness initiatives
Happy and healthy staff create productive and positive workplaces. Barre Base offers corporate classes that focus on negating the ills caused from sitting — something we know is hard to avoid in certain industries.
Why should you offer this to your staff?
The health of New Zealanders is a growing concern and workplaces can play a significant role in addressing the health and wellness of their employees. The workplace has been recognised internationally as an important setting for health promotion and offers an ideal environment to promote and support healthy lifestyle changes to a large audience.
Our objectives are twofold. Firstly, we want to see your employees enjoy the health benefits that come from stretching. Secondly, we want you as a company to benefit by having relaxed, mobile, healthy staff that are productive and happy workers.
Stretching and movement increases blood and nutrient supply to muscles, and to the brain, thereby assisting in reducing muscle soreness and helping to send more oxygen to the brain, enabling better clarity of thought.
Through our classes we aim to create a workplace environment that encourages employees to incorporate physical activity into their daily routine — be it through the course at hand, or in taking up other opportunities to exercise in their own time.
This class is for people who live more sedentary lives, to elite athletes. Stretching for Sitters is a 45-60 minute class focusing on mobility, flexibility and strength. The class will have a strong focus on movements to support the physical well-being of a desk-sitter, however will also provide a mental break for those in high-pressure positions.
This class uses yoga principles to combine stretching with breath and mindfulness in order to effectively stretch overworked or chronically tight muscles. We also include self-massage (with use of yoga therapy balls) as well on consistent education on ways to keep your body happy and healthy. Prevent injury and relieve stress with this explorative and relaxing class.
For those who prefer to get more of a ‘workout’ through yoga.
This class combines body-weight strength work for your upper body, thighs and glutes with athletic, vinyasa-style yoga for flexibility, balance and energy. With a combined focus on mindfulness and strength, we work on toning your deep core while keeping your mind focused and relaxed.
This class is the ultimate combination of strength-building and relaxation. Every class moves through strength-based sequences followed by breath-centred yoga flow and finishes with deep stretching, self-massage, and guided rest.
We are always happy to create a programme that best suits our clients’ needs. Each week we will communicate with students to see where they’d like to focus their attention — we are always happy to create a class that best suits everyone’s needs. Let’s work together on creating the best possible experience for your team.
