Body and mind: yoga, pilates, mindfulness and massages
Imagen
The core of the Zen and Wellness themed event is the guided sessions, designed for people who have never tried them.
- Corporate yoga: hatha, vinyasa or gentle yoga depending on the group; mats, blocks and straps included.
- Pilates: floor exercises for posture and the back.
- Mindfulness and meditation: breathing and awareness techniques that can then be used day to day.
- Ergonomic chair massages: 10 or 15 minutes per person, over clothes and with no oils; neck, shoulders and back.
A good sequence: yoga to start the morning, massages in rounds while the others are at the workshops, and a short meditation to close the day. Outdoors, the sunrise or sunset session is the one people remember.

- Outdoor functional training: a station circuit adapted to every level.

Calm workshops: sumi-e, shodo, origami and mandalas

Hands-on workshops are the quietest part of the Zen and Wellness themed event: focus, silence and something each guest takes home.
- Sumi-e: Japanese ink and brush painting; bamboo, flowers or landscapes.
- Shodo: Japanese calligraphy, stroke by stroke, with the kanji each guest chooses.
- Origami: cranes and paper figures, ideal for large groups as it only needs tables.
- Mandalas: drawing and colouring as a mindfulness exercise.
If the client wants a Japanese party with shows, samurai and taiko drums, the right proposal is the Japanese themed event; here the workshops are used as a calm break within a wellbeing day.

Corporate wellbeing day and wellness activities for employees
Caring for your team
A corporate wellbeing day is an investment in people that shows the very next morning: less tension, more conversation and a team that comes back with fresh energy. It is ideal for closing a tough quarter or kicking off a new project. The best gift for hard-working people is time to breathe.
Wellness activities for employees fit into occupational health plans, talent retention programmes and HR wellbeing policies. You can run a workplace health week with short sessions at the office, or a wellness team retreat at a country house or hotel. Ask for a quote and we will tailor the programme to your staff, in Barcelona or anywhere in Spain.
- Workplace health week: short office sessions so the whole team can take part without stopping work.
- Wellness team retreat: a day away from the office to reconnect through calm, movement and good food.
- Conference breaks: wellbeing corners between talks that attendees appreciate and remember.
- HR wellbeing programmes: regular activities that reinforce how the company looks after its people.
