Corporate Yoga Classes
Our virtual and on-site corporate yoga classes are not what you’d typically encounter in a fitness studio. As with our other wellbeing classes, we’ve specifically designed them with the office worker in mind. What's more, over the past 24 months have further evolved them to meet the needs of remote and hybrid office workers.
We focus on:
- Strengthening the posterior chain of the body
- Dissolving chronically held neuromuscular patterns
- Creating balanced space and elasticity along the body’s fascial lines
- Reinforcing optimal posture patterning and breathing
- Spinal column stabilisation through intelligent activation of the core
- Embodiment practices to restore body awareness and calm the mind
We target issues such as:
- Forward head carriage (AKA ‘tech neck’)
- Long held tension in the upper body, around the head, neck, jaw and shoulders
- Chronically weak and tight hip muscles from prolonged chair-sitting
- Pressure on the spinal discs and nerves due to poor posture mechanics
- Habitual hunching of the upper back and shallow breathing
- Lower back pain and sciatica
- Anxiety, disconnection from the body and ‘living from the neck up’
Needless to say, you won't find any over-stretched hamstrings or headstands in our classes. Instead, we deliver informed sequences that create balanced space and strength in the body, and help counter the stresses incurred from long hours of computer work.
We offer corporate yoga classes in a variety of styles, from Desk-based to Dynamic, and everything in between. If you need any help deciding, please feel free to call us or send us a message.
“Anouska and her team offer an amazing relaxing and flexible experience. Helping to settle my thoughts and work on my mobility and flexibility, a lifesaver especially during lockdown and while working at home. Anouska approaches each class with great positivity and a really calming voice. Classes are perfect for all levels, letting you work on your own ability without being pushed too hard. I thoroughly enjoy classes and highly recommend The Office Yoga Company.”

What Do Our Clients Say?
We booked The Office Yoga Company for three Desk Pilates classes for our employees that are based all around the world. We absolutely loved the sessions and instructor. We’ve received so much positive feedback and definitely want to book them again for a future class. It was a delight to work with them!
Anouska was brilliant for our desk-yoga session at our offices in Shoreditch! Everything was so easy to organise from the start and Anouska was great at walking the line between being incredibly professional and knowledgable but also able to have a giggle when a stretch is a bit hard to reach! A mixture of yoga newbies and veterans, everyone finished the session feeling relaxed and calmer after a stressful week! I would definitely recommend!
We have been taking regular classes with The Office Yoga Company for over a year now, and have nothing but good things to say. All the instructors (Anouska & Stephanie in particular) are great, they are always on time and ready to start the class. Would definitely recommend, especially if you are trying to improve your health and wellness program.
“This was an awesome event for my international team to have a 20 minute desktop yoga break. The session was very focused, very professional and really good tips for a group of folks that work from their homes. Enjoy!”
“Love the remote classes and especially the way Anouska teaches. She had a lovely calm approach to the sessions. Classes are varied week to week and even as a beginner have found them easy to follow as different poses are explained very well so encouraging for beginners like me as well as experienced yogis. Would highly recommend.”
“Anouska and her team offer an amazing relaxing and flexible experience. Helping to settle my thoughts and work on my mobility and flexibility, a lifesaver especially during lockdown and while working at home. Anouska approaches each class with great positivity and a really calming voice. Classes are perfect for all levels, letting you work on your own ability without being pushed too hard. I thoroughly enjoy classes and highly recommend The Office Yoga Company.”
“The class was brilliant, I felt so relaxed afterwards, thank you! Looking forward to next Friday already (without wishing the weekend away!).”
“Anouska was absolutely brilliant. She understood the brief of our meeting really well and the team loved her. They will now be incorporating some of the desk yoga into their daily work routines! Thanks Anouska :)”
“We had three fantastic sessions with The Office Yoga Company and Anouska. Each one was informative and well presented. Anouska was also readily available for any questions we may have. For the outstanding quality of sessions we got, I would 1000% go with The Office Yoga Company again.”
“Anouska’s lunchtime classes are the right balance of challenging and relaxing – leaving you feeling energised and ready to take on the rest of the day!”
“Anouska’s energy and attitude are completely infectious. She’s smiley and happy and down-to-earth, and is equally able to motivate those who do yoga often and those who practise less regularly. She always makes you feel like you’ve achieved something and seems to love every minute when she’s teaching. She’s visited our workplace for private tuition on a number of occasions and her sessions are increasingly well-attended as word spreads. I’d recommend her to anyone, she’s a fantastic teacher.”
“Anouska’s yoga sessions are a highlight of my week. My strength and flexibility have improved massively since starting which is very rewarding. Anouska is great at explaining everything we do and at pushing me personally to go beyond my goals which I love, she is patient and helpful when we don’t understand certain positions, and just a lovely person to be around. Couldn’t recommend highly enough!”
“Anouska is such a lovely teacher with a happy and gentle manner, and guides you through all the moves really well. As a newcomer I was apprehensive, but she really put me at my ease.”
“Anouska is a lovely yoga teacher. Feel completely comfortable in her classes, and come out feeling very chilled. Love them!”
“Absolutely adore classes with Anouska, I have had a knee recon and she always provides options and variations.”
“I love going to Anouska’s classes – It’s a good stress reducer mid-day and brings a sense of calm for the rest of it. It’s the perfect pace, so it’s still a relaxing break. It’s a great perk to have access to every week at work.”
“I didn’t come often but really valued you as a teacher when I did. You have the perfect style, calm, knowledge and commitment; I can’t think of a better teacher.”
“Great sessions, and a good way to relax during the week whilst also working out.”
“Anouska is fantastic – I’ve been training with her guidance for 2+ years and she has made a massive difference in how I feel. Highly recommend.”
“Anouska is by far the best yoga teacher I’ve had the pleasure of learning from. Each week she takes us through different movements; each lesson is slightly different from the last, with appreciation for learners at different levels and easy-to-follow instructions on variations and improvements to posture. The best you could have, especially if you work in an office all day!!”
“Anouska and her team are really great at bringing something special to the office environment an improving the health and wellbeing of teams. The Office Yoga Company come highly recommended by all of us at Elumni!”

A relaxing Zoom yoga session with The Office Yoga Company was the perfect way to end another dynamic week. Through a series of gentle movements Anouska helped me and my team to unwind, strengthen and stretch our sore muscles. We also got plenty of helpful self-care tips to use after the session. I would absolutely recommend booking – your team will thank you!
“I loved the class. Anouska was lovely, personable and clear with her teaching.”
“Anouska and her team couldn’t be anymore helpful and professional! The communication was great whilst booking in the classes and overall the sessions were fantastic! There are many different types of classes to chose from as well. I would definitely use them again.”
“Anouska recently ran 3 virtual desk yoga sessions for our employees around the world. Right from her prompt response to my initial enquiry to the calming and informative sessions themselves Anouska was prompt, professional and made the whole experience effortless. I couldn’t fault it!”
“The session was really enjoyable and just what I needed in the middle of a busy workday. Taking a little bit of time out to stretch and connect body and mind helped me return to work refreshed and relaxed. The whole group thought the session was great!”
“These [Monday Desk Yoga] classes, along with the [WFH Self-Care] ones on Tuesday, are wonderful and have really helped me to stretch and relax. Anouska is a fantastic teacher; probably the best yoga teacher I have experienced.”
