We tried out the corporate program for a meditation course and a yoga class for our employees at our office. The activities allowed us to take a break from the daily routine with our team.

The teacher balanced the practical activities with a theoretical introduction to the many benefits for both body and mind. The employees really enjoyed the sessions. We will certainly continue to do business with Surya!

Claudette arrived in the midst of the difficult situation caused by the pandemic, in which we wanted to provide a moment of relaxation for our employees.

Claudette gave online classes in stretching, meditation and yoga. This helped our employees’ posture at the computer and boosted them even from distance. She was even able to correct our postures remotely via the camera! Well done, thank you!

Clear Destination

Claudette gave us classes throughout the summer. She knew how to adapt to the environment, the warm temperatures, the different levels and needs of the employees in French and English! Great experience.

Claudette also organized a dynamic workshop for the women’s committee, creating cohesion among us.

As part of our wellness week, Alstom partnered with Surya Montréal. Bernhard came to our site to offer 2 wonderful meditation sessions. He guided our employees and answered their questions.

This first approach enabled us to take time for ourselves in the continuous and sometimes tumultuous flow of our days.

Our services : on-site or virtual wellbeing sessions

Yoga

are composed of a variety of movements and poses to strengthen and stretch the whole body in a balanced way. We place special emphasis on breathing while moving or doing poses in order to calm and harmonise the nervous system and the hormonal system. This way, our body gets relaxed and detoxified, our emotions balanced, and our mind more focused.

Qigong/Taichi

practiced standing, without any accessories. It is accessible to everyone, regardless of their physical condition. Simple movements, coordinated with breathing, and visualization lead to physical relaxation and mental and emotional stability. The practice is based on the concepts of Traditional Chinese Medicine to maintain health.

Meditation

classes begin with some stretching to release tension in the body and permit better breathing. Next, breathing exercises facilitate introspection and mental calm. Finally, we guide participants through visualizations that assist in relaxing, cultivating positive emotions and soothing the mind. The techniques can easily used by everyone, notably to manage stress.

Automassage

stretching and mental relaxation: we guide you through a succession of self-massages or stretches to relax the areas of the body that are very solicited or tense when working with limited physical activity, such as: the eyes, head, shoulders/neck, back, arms, wrists and hands. We finish with a global conscious relaxation of the body.
