About
Jack McAllister, organiser of Well Work Yoga, would like to extend a warm greeting to the sports community. Established in Edinburgh, Well Work Yoga specialises in virtual office yoga designed for remote and hybrid teams. The sessions stem from Jack’s personal journey of using yoga to overcome chronic stress and professional burnout, which gives him a real understanding of the pressures faced in high-paced, desk-based jobs.
During the pandemic, Jack shifted Well Work Yoga to focus on virtual sessions, finding them to be an effective way for employees working remotely or in a hybrid setup to manage stress and build resilience. Besides traditional mat-based yoga, there's also a growing demand for chair yoga, a simple and accessible option catering to various work environments.
Jack McAllister is committed to making sure every participant feels at ease from the start, regardless of their previous yoga experience or workplace role. The focus is on addressing stress and burnout early, offering practical support to demonstrate the value placed on every team member. The sessions are tailored to respect and cater to varied abilities and workplace dynamics.
Well Work Yoga also offers wellbeing days and events customised for teams, including chair yoga and traditional mat-based sessions. These events not only foster team spirit but also promote healthy habits. Regular weekly classes address key themes progressively, allowing participants to unwind together.
What differentiates Well Work Yoga is its down-to-earth approach: no need for Sanskrit terminology or mantra chanting to reap the benefits of yoga and relaxation. The emphasis is on practical, accessible classes that address the specific challenges of office-based work.
Positive feedback from various participants highlights the success of Well Work Yoga. Stefan Videv, Director of Engineering/LiFi, noticed a significant improvement in his relaxation and fitness levels. Isabelle Slee, HR Administrator at United Colleges Group, praised the inclusivity and accessibility of the Mindful Movement Session during a staff Wellbeing Day. Hayley Gryphon from Legal Services appreciated the supportive and encouraging class environment. Gabriel Shpilt, Founder of Cross The T, felt refreshed and balanced after sessions that specifically targeted desk-related stress.

Whether you're a CEO focused on growth, an HR leader dedicated to employee wellbeing, or someone simply seeking stress relief and team connection, Well Work Yoga offers the support and tools needed.
