Why an online session needs its own plan, not a copy of the office one
It's tempting to treat an online class as simply the in-person version delivered over a video call, but a screen changes enough about the experience that it's worth planning for on its own terms. A class built for a room full of colleagues doesn't always translate well once everyone is dialling in from a kitchen table, a spare room or a desk at home.
The building blocks stay familiar — yoga, Pilates, mindfulness and meditation, and workshops, kept business specific in the same way as an in-person session so the content still feels relevant to your team rather than generic. What changes is the practical thinking around timing, format and how people are expected to take part, and that matters more once a class only exists as a link in someone's calendar.
Live sessions, and when a recording earns its place
Our online sessions run live over Zoom by default, though a business can also use its own meeting platform and simply invite the teacher in to lead from there. Live sessions keep the sense of a shared, scheduled moment, which matters for a team that might otherwise never all take a break at the same time.
A recording is available for an extra fee, and it earns its keep for a genuinely scattered team — someone on a different shift, or simply back-to-back with meetings that afternoon, can catch the session later rather than missing it altogether. It's worth treating recording as the exception that covers gaps, rather than the default, since a live class is what gives the session its sense of occasion.
Making hybrid work: one session, office and home together
A hybrid team doesn't need two separate bookings. The same live class, run over your own meeting platform with the teacher invited in, can play out for a room of colleagues in the office at the same time as everyone joining from home, so nobody has to choose between the in-person energy and the option to dial in.
The coordination is straightforward in practice. Before a block of classes starts, we send a single access link to whoever is organising things on your side, and they distribute it however suits your team. If it's a recurring class, that same link works every time, so there's no re-sending it week to week.
Getting the timing right for a team that's never all online at once
Morning sessions tend to leave people more energised for the day ahead, a lunchtime class offers a proper break in the middle of it, and an evening session around 5 or 6pm is a popular way to create some separation from work before the evening starts. None of these need to be a full class either — shorter wellness breaks of 15 to 30 minutes work well as a lighter, more frequent alternative, and can run daily or every other day without eating into much of the working day.
Theming a rotation of shorter sessions helps keep things fresh without losing consistency. A gentle Rise and Shine stretch to start the day, an Afternoon Reset built around mindfulness, and a post-work And Relax session are all ways we've seen teams structure a week of shorter breaks around whatever time actually suits them.
Cameras on or off: what actually works for online yoga and mindfulness
There's no fixed rule on cameras, and plenty of teams practise perfectly well with most of them off. Colleagues still know everyone is online and taking part at the same time, which keeps a sense of shared experience, but not being able to see each other also removes any temptation to compare your practice with the person next to you, something that's harder to avoid in a room together.
One-to-one sessions work a little differently, since it's just you and the teacher, and there's nothing stopping the rest of your household joining in if they'd like to. For a group class though, it's worth telling your team upfront that cameras off is entirely normal, so nobody feels singled out either way.
What you'll actually need at home
The requirements are deliberately low. For online yoga and Pilates, enough space to move a little is the main thing — a mat isn't essential but is recommended, along with a cushion or chair and an optional blanket for anything involving relaxation. For meditation, mindfulness or a guided relaxation session, a cushion or chair is enough, again with a blanket if you'd like one.
On the logistics side, a single class can hold up to 100 people, which covers most teams comfortably in one session rather than needing to split into multiple bookings.
Quick answers
How much do online sessions cost?
Online classes are priced at £90, £85 or £80 depending on session length, for a weekly or fortnightly booking with a six-week minimum. Get in touch via /contact/ and we can talk through what fits your team.

Not really. A mat is recommended but not essential for online yoga or Pilates, and a cushion or chair with an optional blanket covers meditation, mindfulness and relaxation sessions.

Yes, recording is available for an additional fee, and we send the link on so anyone who missed the live session can catch up at a time that suits them.
Can people in the office and people at home join the same class?
Yes. A live session run over your own meeting platform, with the teacher invited in, can include a room of colleagues together in the office alongside everyone joining from home, all in the one booking.
