A day retreat for your team: yoga team building that really lands
By Charlotte Schoeters · · 6 min read
One day away from the office with yoga, breathwork, good food and time to reflect. What a corporate day retreat looks like, for whom it works and how to organise it.
A day retreat for companies is one full day away from the office in which a team does yoga, breathwork and relaxation together, eats well and makes time to reflect. It is a calm alternative to classic team building: instead of competing, people slow down together. It is the lowest-threshold way to start with a retreat, and it can be organised for any budget and group size.
Why a day retreat instead of classic team building?
Escape rooms and go-karting give energy, but often also extra stimulation for a team that is already running on full. A day retreat does the opposite: it lowers the pace. People leave with something they can keep using, like a breathing exercise for a busy moment. And it works for everyone: no one needs to be sporty or experienced.
A sample programme
- 09:30 welcome with coffee and tea, short introduction
- 10:00 morning class: Yogilates, strength and core with the flow of yoga
- 11:15 team session: a theme chosen by the company (feedback, the year ahead, collaboration)
- 12:30 a healthy lunch together
- 14:00 a walk or breathwork outdoors
- 15:30 Yin yoga and guided relaxation
- 16:30 short reflection: what does each person take back to work?
Who is a day retreat for?
- Teams after a busy period, a reorganisation or a big project
- A kick-off at the start of the year or season
- Companies that want to test a first retreat before planning a longer one
- Teams that work hybrid and rarely see each other in person
What does a day retreat cost?
There is no fixed price: Yogavibe puts every day retreat together around the budget and the group. The location (at your office, a venue in or around Antwerp or elsewhere in Belgium), the catering and the number of participants determine the price. For a regular class at the office, we charge €150 per session for the whole group.
What to arrange in advance
- A quiet room with enough floor space, or a venue with a garden
- Comfortable clothes for participants; mats and props can be provided
- Dietary needs for the lunch
- The theme of the team session, agreed in advance with Charlotte
