Our flagship corporate mindfulness training workshop. A practical, secular introduction to mindfulness and meditation — the techniques, the science, and the daily practices that genuinely fit a working week. Designed for teams new to mindfulness, organisations launching a meditation programme, or anyone wanting a single all-purpose introduction. Available as a 30-minute introduction for awareness-day moments and lunch-and-learn slots, or a 60-minute deeper workshop that includes more practice and a take-home action plan.
This is the most-booked session in our corporate mindfulness training catalogue, because it’s the right starting point for the majority of teams. Free of incense, chanting, and spiritual content — practical mindfulness training designed for professional
Secular and evidence based
our corporate mindfulness training draws on cognitive psychology and behavioural science, not contemplative traditions. No incense, no chanting, no spiritual framing.
Two formats, one outcome
Choose 30 minutes for a taster session or 60 minutes for a deeper workshop with a take-home action plan. Both formats give your team techniques they can use the same day.
Workplace-tailored.
Every session is briefed to your sector, your working environment, and your team’s actual focus and stress challenges. Examples come from professional working life, not yoga-studio scenarios

Choose between 30 or 60 minutes.
The 60-minute format adds a personal action plan and longer Q&A. The 30-minute format covers blocks 1, 3 (one practice), and 4 in compressed form — ideal for awareness-day tasters and lunch-and-learn slots.
What your team will learn
The corporate mindfulness training is built around four practical learning blocks. Coverage and depth scales with the format you choose (30 vs 60 min).
1. What mindfulness actually is (and isn’t). A grounded definition, free of jargon and spiritual framing. The differences between mindfulness, meditation, and relaxation. Why the distinction matters when you’re trying to introduce this to a sceptical workplace audience.
2. The science. What the research actually says about mindfulness and cognitive performance, attention, stress regulation, and emotion management. We name our sources. The science is the strongest case for mindfulness in a corporate context — and the reason most teams stay engaged.
3. Core practices. Guided experience of two to three foundational mindfulness techniques — focused breathing, attention training, brief body awareness. Participants leave having actually practised, not just heard about, the techniques.
4. Daily integration. Specific 5–10 minute practices that fit between meetings, before a difficult conversation, after a high-stakes moment, or as a focus reset mid-afternoon. The integration question — “how do I use this on a normal Tuesday?” — is the one most mindfulness training fails. Ours leads with it.
Who this corporate mindfulness training is for
This is a whole-team session designed for any of the following:
- Teams new to mindfulness — no prior experience expected. The session starts at first principles.
- Organisations launching a wellbeing programme — mindfulness introduction is often the first wellbeing session in a new programme. It builds shared language and equips the team for everything that follows.
- Awareness-day moments — Stress Awareness Month (April), Mental Health Awareness Week (May), World Meditation Day (21 May), or any internal wellbeing-themed week.
- Hybrid and remote teams — micro-practices designed for the realities of distributed work: between-meetings reset, focus protection, post-difficult-conversation recovery.
- Any team wanting one all-purpose mindfulness session — without committing to an ongoing programme.
For teams already comfortable with the basics and looking for a deeper application of mindfulness specifically to focus and cognitive performance, see our companion workshop, Mindfulness for focus.

What our clients say
We learned so much in the introductory Mindfulness course and will definitely be using Stretching The City for follow-up sessions later this year.
All meditation workshops were really well received – each was interesting and led by a professional, knowledgeable and charismatic presenter. I look forward to working with Stretching the City again.
The trainer was fantastic and taught us some simple and effective meditations techniques. I felt really relaxed & revived afterwards.
Frequently asked questions
Is corporate mindfulness training religious or spiritual?
No. Our corporate mindfulness and meditation workshops are secular and evidence-based. We draw on cognitive psychology and behavioural science rather than contemplative traditions. No incense, no chanting, no spiritual framing. The techniques work regardless of belief system.
Which format should we book — 30 or 60 minutes?
The 30-minute format is a focused taster — what mindfulness is, one guided practice, and the daily integration techniques. Best for awareness-day moments, lunch-and-learn slots, and organisations testing the water before committing. The 60-minute format is the full workshop — all four learning blocks, two to three guided practices, longer Q&A, and a personal action plan participants leave with. Best for teams genuinely committing to mindfulness as part of their wellbeing strategy. Most clients book the 30-minute version first and the 60-minute version once they’re ready to go deeper.
Is it just a single long meditation for an hour?
No. Our corporate mindfulness workshops mix short guided practices (5–10 minutes each) with explanation, discussion, and Q&A. Participants leave with practical techniques they can use immediately — not a single long meditation experience.
Do participants need any prior mindfulness experience?
No. The corporate mindfulness training is designed for participants with zero experience. We start at first principles. Anyone with prior experience will still get value from the techniques and the workplace integration content.
Can the session be tailored to our industry?
Yes. We adapt scenarios, language and the practice examples to your sector — finance, professional services, tech, healthcare, public sector. Tailoring usually adds two to three days to the delivery timeline.
Can we book this as part of a wellbeing programme?
Yes. The mindfulness introduction is the natural starting point for our Movement & Relaxation programme, which combines mindfulness, yoga, Pilates and breathwork into a structured 6–12 month plan. We’ll scope this on the discovery call.
Do you deliver corporate mindfulness workshops internationally?
Yes. Virtual delivery is available globally — we’ve delivered mindfulness sessions to teams in North America, Europe, the Middle East and APAC. Recording included as standard, so colleagues across time zones can catch up. In-person delivery is UK-focused.
What does it cost?
Pricing depends on session length (30 vs 60 minutes), format (live or virtual), audience size and whether you’re booking standalone or as part of a wider programme. Multi-workshop bookings are priced more favourably than one-offs. Book a discovery call and we’ll send a clear quote within 48 hours.
