The Pilates classes were a much-welcomed addition to the working week: providing time and space to concentrate on wellness. The meditative nature of the activity also gave me the “head-space” for reflection and relaxation, and brought a calmness to the rest of the day (at least).
Bringing it into the workplace created the nice realisation that wellness and work aren’t necessarily mutually exclusive. It also felt like a very caring gesture from the organisation. A gift from our office to the employees who work for them. The only real problem was that my work commitments meant I wasn’t able to attend all of the sessions.
