Dance your workplace dramas away

Discover several invigorating online dance classes to choose from so you and your team can pick the one you most like the sound of. All of these sessions are beginner-friendly, so cast any doubts about your dancefloor skills aside and strap on those dancing shoes! Whether you opt for ballet move barre fitness, a fun-filled blend of ballet, Pilates, and more, or something a little more fiery and exotic like a Mexican folk dance class, you and your colleagues are sure to have a blast! 

Learn to slow down with some soothing yoga

If the past year has been particularly taxing and you're keen to find a way to help your co-workers unwind and de-stress, what could be better than a yoga class online? Yoga is a form of gentle exercise which is guaranteed to leave your team feeling revitalized and refreshed. 

Our Yin yoga for beginners class, a pre-recorded video workshop provided by Moksha Movement, is the perfect place to start. Teaching you how to stretch and tone your muscles and ligaments, while simultaneously quieting your mind, this class ensures a calm atmosphere that will restore your team’s balance.

Uncover a smorgasbord of virtual cooking workshops featuring mouthwatering dishes from across the globe. From the sultry spices of Thailand to the filling feasts of Greece and Italy, to classic French restaurant fare - we have it all! 

Each of these virtual group activities for cooking enthusiasts is taught by a friendly professional chef who will share their tricks of the trade and teach your team some impressive new culinary skills. With many of our classes, your co-workers will receive a well-stocked DIY cooking kit in the mail before your class begins, packed with tools and ingredients. All you need to do next is connect at the right time for your class, and then enjoy a mouthwatering virtual experience you and your staff will savor. 

Become master mixologists together

Cocktails and a good time go together hand-in-hand! Sign your staff up for one of our popular virtual cocktail making classes and shake, stir and muddle your way through a magical team-building experience you can toast to. In time for your session, you and each of your co-workers will receive your very own DIY cocktail making kit delivered to your door. If you opt for a class such as DIY mixology at home, you can also plump for some delectable add-ons as an extra-special reward for your team. These include the likes of artisan cheese and chocolate brownies, or even a full-size bartender kit if you're feeling flush.

Unleash the artist within

Online art classes are another relaxing team-building activity that will both soothe and inspire. Pick up a pencil or a paintbrush together and spend a meditative hour unveiling your inner artists, with guidance from one of our enthusiastic experts. It doesn't matter if you haven't done anything artistic since your elementary school days, you will quickly pick up some professional art tips which will help you create your own colorful masterpiece. 

Better yet, you will all get the chance to bond in a soothing and inspirational environment that will nourish your spirits and strengthen your workplace wellbeing. If you opt for our drink and draw at home class, you can even sip a glass of your favorite vino at the same time!

Collaborate on a colorful collage to raise your spirits

If you think collages are just for kids, our delightful craft workshops are here to prove you wrong. Try out one of our collage art classes for your next virtual team building session and we're sure you and your staff will soon be hooked on this simple but highly stimulating form of paper craft. 

Not only are collages colorful and easy to make, but they can also be highly therapeutic and help you and your co-workers practice mindfulness as you focus on creating your homemade works of art. What's more, some of our collage workshops focus on making visioin boards, which are intentional artworks that help you articulate your goals and desires, along with the things in your life you're already grateful for, in visual art form. Going through the process of creating vision boards together can be a great way to bring your team together and strengthen team bonding, as you all learn what makes one another tick on a deeper level.

After a happy hour of painting, drawing, stenciling, and sticking, you will each have a highly individual piece of artwork to hang on your walls – plus, you'll all feel a lot closer as a team.
