Chapter 1
Why Workplace Wellbeing Needs to Be Practical
Many teams work under constant cognitive load, long hours sitting, and high responsibility. Wellbeing support must reduce everyday stress and physical strain without adding effort or complexity.
This is not about trends, motivation, or fitness. It's about practical tools that fit into professional life.
Chapter 1
Where Typical Wellness Falls Short
One-Off Workshops
Brief sessions that lack continuity and fail to create lasting behavioural change.
Generic Advice
Surface-level recommendations that don't address individual needs or workplace realities.
Short Relaxation Sessions
Temporary relief without structured support or repeatable tools employees can use independently.
Effective wellbeing support requires structured, repeatable programmes that integrate seamlessly into work life.
Chapter 2
Our Approach
The corporate programmes are developed and delivered by Manoj Gahlawat, founder and lead teacher of True Yoga Studio Heidelberg.
Manoj's approach is rooted in classical Hatha and Ashtanga Yoga traditions, combined with a modern understanding of stress, attention, and nervous system regulation.
The focus is practical and method-based:
  • Breath-led stress regulation
  • Balanced posture, micro yoga methods for desk-based work
  • Mental awareness refreshing protocol design
This is not fitness yoga, wellness entertainment, or motivational training. It is a structured approach designed for professional environments and real work demands.
