Structured team yoga sessions can support the NHS workforce wellbeing, directly addressing priorities in the NHS Long Term Workforce Plan and the People Promise. These sessions will improve staff physical resilience, reduce musculoskeletal strain, and provide practical tools for stress management, helping to mitigate burnout and reduce sickness absence.
Delivered in a shared group setting, yoga fosters psychological safety, strengthens team cohesion, and enhances communication - supporting collaborative working and a positive workplace culture. By promoting wellbeing, recovery, and engagement, these sessions contribute to workforce retention, sustained productivity, and the delivery of safe, high-quality patient care.
The program aligns with NHS strategic objectives to create a supportive, inclusive, and resilient workforce, offering measurable outcomes in staff satisfaction, attendance, and team effectiveness.
