Wellbeing Experiences

This is not just another run.

We have designed a series of unique, science-backed experiences to help your team connect, reset, and recharge. 

Start with calm focus, not nerves.
Our pre-start somatic shaking is a simple, science-backed technique to release nervous energy and begin with collective focus.

A live power-up, not a playlist.
Feel a visceral boost from live Bhangra drummers, strategically placed on the course to turn a moment of effort into pure empowerment.

Let sound waves reduce your effort.
In our 'Good Vibrations Zone' by the lake, practitioners use sound to quieten the mind and distract from physical exertion.

Shared laughter to release feel good chemicals.
Join a fun and surprising Laughing Yoga session on the 2km Walk.

Preparation

Why not consider some of the following

Walking meetings together

Create a run club from your office, or local JW Lees pub

Walking lunches - take turns to plot a route

Get off 1 bus / tram stop early before you go to work

Have a coffee and walk in with colleagues

COLLABORATION IS AT THE HEART OF THE SERIES
