Business flexibility & wellness
/The keen gardeners amongst us will have noticed just how dry and frosty April 2021 turned out to be.
Not so the April meeting of Consult Yorkshire.
Our chair for the meeting kick started the procedures by asking us all to introduce ourselves in a different way to our usual 'elevator pitch’, - with some interesting responses!
From food blender analogies through to a musical introduction - Consult Yorkshire’s meeting certainly started with a fun and warm outlook.
From warm introductions to physical warm ups at your desk - our April ‘Skills Session’ was on the subject of Business Yoga and was delivered by Ella Mesma.
Ella guided attendees through a structured 23 minute gentle routine, with a range of techniques suitable for beginners through to those with advanced flexibility.
As well as taking the group through the physical practice, Ella highlighted the following benefits of practicing Business Yoga.
