We provide in-person and virtual Yoga, Fitness, Mindfulness, and
Nutrition services to companies, sports teams, schools, and clubs.
ABOUT WORKING WELLNESS
Make a healthy mind and body a priority for your company, team, or school. Working Wellness delivers yoga, fitness, mindfulness, and nutrition classes in-person and virtually.
CORPORATE WELLNESS
Companies are integrating wellness activities into their day-to-day strategy and overall corporate culture. Happy and healthy employees have proven to result in better productivity, lower healthcare costs, and less turnover. Working Wellness can bring your employees live virtual or in-person classes so they can connect with each other in a healthy way.
We can create a complete corporate wellness plan that encompasses a variety of yoga, mindfulness, and nutrition classes, or we can schedule a monthly class as a team building event. You can also opt for a day retreat for your company hosted by Working Wellness at Rushton Conservation Center and Rushton Woods Preserve, a beautiful property in a stunning setting in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania.
Working Wellness classes and events are a creative way to provide employees with an option to feel relaxed, refreshed, and rejuvenated together.
SPORTS TEAM WELLNESS
Working Wellness can deliver the same services to youth sports teams! Give your team a competitive edge with a Working Wellness yoga and mindfulness meditation experience customized for your particular sport. We can come to your training facility, practice at one of our local studio partners, or create a virtual experience.
There’s no doubt that young athletes receive a myriad of benefits from practicing yoga. Building strength and flexibility, gaining body awareness and control, improving balance and coordination, and learning how to use breath to neutralize the nervous system are just some of the advantages to incorporating yoga into a training program.
Yoga can also be a key component in helping to prevent injuries by strengthening and stretching muscles, ligaments, and tendons and working to improve joint function and stability.
We recommend incorporating a brief mindfulness meditation element into any yoga class for athletes. It can enhance mental focus, improve concentration, and decrease anxiety.

We bring wellness to a number of school districts in our region through events for school staff designed to reduce stress and promote general well-being. These events can include Yoga, Mindfulness, and Nutrition classes and services. Some popular options are our Healthy Snack Station, our Smoothie Station, Chair Yoga classes, an Introduction to Mindfulness, Chair Massage, and our Essential Oils Workshop.

Anchor Practice - This introductory guided meditation presents the basics of a mindfulness practice and offers students the opportunity to develop individualized anchors for attention including focusing on sounds, the body, and the breath.
Body Scan Meditation - Access deep relaxation through this guided body scan. Turning our attention to the body as an anchor can assist us in reducing mind wandering while also aiding us in releasing muscle tension.
Stress Reduction Practice - A common belief about meditation is that the experience itself is relaxing. While a lot of the time this is true, it is also true that much of the time our minds or bodies are working with some kind of stress and the experience can be challenging. This class helps students work with emotions and physical sensations in such a way that this practice can not only transform the meditation experience, but life outside of it as well.
Mindful Self-Compassion Practice - The inner critic can be really loud sometimes, and while a little bit of critical self-judgment can help steer us in a more productive direction, too much of it can get in the way of our feelings of competency and our effectiveness. Researchers studying Mindful Self Compassion practices have shown that they increase motivation, boost self-worth, and foster resilience.
Stress Reduction Workshop - Lean techniques used to reduce stress including breathwork, acupressure, muscle relaxation, and aromatherapy.
