Your problems are as unique as your employees. You don’t need a one-size-fits-all solution. Thankfully, we love rolling our sleeves up and making a positive difference to the way people feel when they clock in for work.

The world is changing fast. We specialise in providing wellbeing programming to companies operating in high-performance and stressful environments. Our clients are from diverse sectors, but all of them share in common a real desire to nurture the wellbeing of their people and communities.
With our corporate wellbeing platform Levitate @ Work, we create events, classes and courses designed to strengthen your focus, deepen your sense of wellbeing, and nourish your relationship with the teams and communities you belong to.

We bring you some of the best people in wellness, using movement, coaching, breathwork, mindfulness, therapy and more to help to transform your team from just surviving to thriving.
Many companies initially approach us for a one off workplace wellness event, but this is often just the start of a longer conversation about wellbeing in the organisation.
We are here to make a lasting difference to your people and their happiness and resilience, long after Mental Health Awareness Week is over.

We also give 1% of our revenue to carbon capture initiatives to try and cool down this overheated planet. By working with us you enable that too.

— Lara Woods, Creative Impact Lead at Google.

Employee Wellbeing FAQ:
Booking us:
-
Yes absolutely. We offer a wide selection of yoga, breathwork, mindfulness, soundbaths, pilates, massage, coaching and more. Get in touch with your brief and we will be delighted to chat you through your options.
-
We are happy to offer all activities both in person and virtually. Many clients ask us for hybrid sessions. We are able to offer these in London within the M25, and sometimes further afield with a supplement for travel time and costs. Please talk to ustalk to us to discuss your brief.
-
We do this for many clients, over Zoom, Google Meet, or their own preferred streaming solution. This enables us to reach colleagues across time zones and on all continents, to foster truly global connection.
-
We currently offer short (4 week) and full (8 week) mindfulness courses for company employees. These happen either face-to-face or virtually (and sometimes hybrid to accomodate a distributed workplace). Both are designed to equip your team with the skill to meditate on their own (as the largest benefits from mindfulness come from consistent practice).
-
We coach CEOs and C-Suite teams to help them manage the demands of their roles, and stay present for their colleagues. Doing this, alongside group mindfulness coaching for staff, shows real leadership and a commitment to embedding mindfulness in your organisation.
-
Ironically there is often no one looking after the HR department. Amidst challenges like the Great Resignation and the shift to working from home, it is more important than ever that HR teams are given opportunities to decompress. We specialise in offering tailored sessions for people in these roles.
-
Yes we are able to fit our wellbeing experiences into existing away days, or curate entire days including nutritious, healthy food and stimulating wellness activities. Please get in touch to discuss your requirements.
-
We have appeared in front of audiences as large as 500 people in venues like Printworks London (for ClearScore), Wilderness Festival (for the festival go-ers), and we’d be excited to talk to you about how we could form a stimulating part of your annual conference, summer party etc! Please get in touch to discuss your brief.
-
We don’t currently charge a per head fee. We realise many of our competitors do, and that it makes economic sense to do so. However we feel that there should be no limits to the number of people who can attend and find some calm.
-
Yes. Please just email us at here to request our latest corporate wellbeing rate card.
-
Yes. We have organised these for large tech firms and boutique luxury brands. We offer anything from a fully curated day with gifting, food and activities, to one-off talks/workshops designed to fit into an existing day you have planned. Chat to us to find out more.
More about our experiences:
-
Absolutely. Our classes are suitable for all levels. Many staff who attend are total beginners. We design every session to appeal to beginners and experts alike. Our mission is to make wellbeing more accessible, so no prior knowledge or skill is assumed.
-
We find 45 minutes is the sweet spot for allowing people to unwind and become fully immersed in the session.
That said, many clients want sessions to be shorter (20-30 minutes) to enable more people to join. We can work with whatever time length you have in mind.
You can feel confident that our instructors will make any slot enjoyable. Consistently employees tell us they are staggered by how quickly the time went by.
-
We always agree the brief ahead of time. Is the goal to help people focus, to re-energise them, to combat burnout, or to give them an indulgent, relaxing experience?
Whatever the brief, people tend to leave with a big smile on their face, feeling lighter and more expansive, as if a weight has lifted.
You and your teammates will be more present, creative, reflective, and capable of bringing their best selves to work.
-
We call our group classes “journeys”, because each session is designed to completely transport you from stressed to calm, or from exhausted to energised, and from self-critical to compassionate. A journey better encapsulates the experience we want you to enjoy.
-
Each of our mindfulness classes aim to demystify some of the key elements of mindfulness, teach employees some skills to use outside the studio, and give them a taste of guided meditation itself to leave them feeling blissfully calm and light by the time the class finishes.
-
All of our classes are guided. The purpose of the classes is to teach your staff, which we can’t do if we all sit in silence. Some are accompanied by music to create a more immersive experience. We’ll discuss this with you ahead of time.
-
For the most part we teach mindfulness meditation, which is simple, powerful, accessible and proven to be effective by a huge amount of scientific research.
We also offer compassion meditation (metta) as practised by the Dalai Lama and countless Buddhist monks for the last 2600 years (albeit we make it very relevant for the 21st century).
We also make use of visualisations to leave your team feeling transported, bringing to life the felt experience, rather than lecturing you on the theory.
-
We are firm believers in making things as accessible as humanly possible. We keep firmly rooted in the neuroscience and research.
That means every session caters for absolute beginners as well as experienced meditators. It also means that we use plain English, avoid all dogma or mention of spirituality, and don’t ask anyone to chant or wrap their head around difficult theory.
We want your team to enjoy the session so much that you feel motivated to explore more.
-
Every teacher is qualified to teach. Every teacher carries full insurance. Everyone selected for the platform is selected for their excellence in their field. To meet the team and see where they qualified, head to our team page.
-
Our founder Ryan Nell is former successful advertising executive, who founded Levitate and retrained as a 200-hour meditation teacher in 2018. He did his training at the globally-renowned Unplug Meditation in Los Angeles, under the supervision of Suze Yalof Schwartz and Davidji (stress management expert, and teacher of teachers).
1:1 employee coaching:
-
Each coaching session will focus on your employee’s individual challenges and questions with time set aside for guided practice. The format of the sessions themselves, and the number of sessions needed, is a conversation between coach and employee (though you can set any limits you like).
-
Everything your employees discuss with the coach is held in the strictest confidence, and will not be repeated outside the space.
-
We can travel to any London location within the M25 to coach at your workplace. All the coach will need is a meeting room / office with two chairs and a door!
Please send us an email to explore coaching options.
-
Most of our corporate clients opt for 1:1 coaching sessions over Zoom. These have the advantage of being possible from anywhere with an internet connection, and allow your staff to receive coaching wherever they are.
-
Yes we offer discounts for large bookings. Please talk to us to enquire.
-
Employees can cancel/reschedule up to 24 hours before any coaching session with no charge.
If staff need to cancel later than that, you will be charged for the visit (unless another employee can take the slot).
Some of our clients choose to pass on the cost of missed appointments to staff. We’ll work with you to design a policy that suits your organisation and budget.
AOB:
-
Yes. We are big fans of anyone making the world a better place. Please speak to us about your requirements and we’ll do what we can to accommodate them.
-
Ask us anything. We’re here to partner you on your journey. Please just drop us an email or call us or WhatsApp us on 020 3026 1038.
