Newsletter blurb

Paste into this week's issue.

21 June is International Yoga Day, recognised by the United Nations since 2015. Yoga can be a gentle way to ease stiffness and stress, especially for those of us who spend long hours at a desk. Why not try a short stretch session at your desk or join our [date/time] session? No experience or special kit needed. If you already practise, share a favourite stretch or video with the team.

Slack / Teams post

For the company channel on the day.

It is International Yoga Day. Even five minutes of stretching away from your screen can help, so why not give it a go this afternoon?

Talking points

For managers and team leads.

- Encourage short movement breaks during the working day. - Keep any session beginner-friendly and optional. - Offer alternatives for people with limited mobility.

Tone note

How to pitch it.

Keep it optional and accessible, offering seated or adapted options for different abilities. Respect yoga's cultural and spiritual roots in India rather than treating it only as exercise.
