Fully Remote Companies
Remote team yoga for employees who have never shared an office, and for whom a live class is one of the few genuinely shared experiences on the calendar.

Live Virtual Corporate Yoga
for Remote Teams
Bring your team together for a yoga class they can join from wherever they work. Rooted with Julia teaches live virtual corporate yoga for remote, hybrid and distributed teams, taught in real time on Zoom, not played from a recording.
Book it as a one-time virtual wellness event, or as part of ongoing programming for employees across several locations.
Why teams book it
One Class, However Far Apart You Are
When a team is spread across cities or states, most of what you can offer them arrives as a link, a stipend or a subscription, something people use alone, if they use it at all. A live class is one of the few things a distributed company can put on the calendar and have everyone actually do at the same time.
It also does something a meeting cannot. For most remote employees the working day is one continuous screen, and a virtual wellness activity that involves standing up and moving is a genuine break in it rather than another window.
Everyone is in the same class. Nobody has to travel to it.
Virtual corporate yoga classes use the same format as Julia’s live online yoga classes: online yoga for employees, shaped around your team rather than a public schedule. For teams that share an office, corporate yoga classes in person are the other half of the same service.
Who it works for
Built for Teams That Are Not in One Room
Online corporate yoga suits some companies far better than others. These are the four situations it is asked about most, and any of them can be adapted once Julia knows how your team is arranged.
Hybrid Teams
Virtual yoga for employees in the office and employees at home, in one session, without either group getting the lesser version of it.
Multi-Office Companies
Virtual yoga for teams split across several locations and time zones: one class rather than the same event run three times.
Virtual Wellness Days
A live session inside a wellness day, an employee appreciation event, or an all-hands week that is otherwise wall-to-wall talking.
How it works
How a Virtual Class Actually Runs
Tell Julia About Your Team
Roughly how many people, where they are, how much time you have, and what you would like the session to feel like.
Settle the Date and Format
Julia will help you choose the tone and the shape of the class, and confirm what works across your team’s time zones.
Employees Join the Link
A private link goes out by email ahead of the session. There is nothing to install on a laptop, and cameras can stay off.
Julia Teaches It Live
A real class in real time, with Julia watching the room and offering options as she goes, not a video everyone presses play on.
Mixed experience
Most People Joining Have Never Done This
On a company-wide invitation you will get a handful of people who practise regularly, a larger group who have never been on a mat, and several who are quietly worried about being the least flexible person on the call.
That mix is the normal shape of a corporate class.
Julia teaches with different experience levels in mind and offers options throughout, so the practised employee gets a real class and the first-timer is never caught out. Cameras can stay off, which for a beginner in their own living room matters more than it sounds.
If anyone is working around an injury or a health condition, it is worth them checking with their own clinician first, and Julia would rather know in advance than find out mid-class.
What employees need
A Short List, on Purpose
Home set-ups vary enormously, so the class is built to ask very little of the room people are sitting in.
The Practical Bit
Enough floor space to extend your arms in every direction is the real requirement. Everything else is comfort.
The Joining Bit
A private link by email, opened a few minutes before the session starts.
One class or many
A Single Session, or Something Standing
Plenty of companies start with one class: a virtual wellness activity for employees inside a wellness day, an appreciation event or a quarter that has been harder than most.
Others would rather it became a fixture, running corporate yoga online every week or month so that remote employee wellness is a point in the calendar people recognise rather than a one-off email. Both can be arranged, and starting with one session is a perfectly reasonable way to find out which you want.
If you already know you are after something ongoing, the employee wellness programs page covers recurring workplace wellness programming in more detail.

Where a Live Class Fits in a Virtual Wellness Program
Most virtual wellness programs are assembled from things employees do alone. Running workplace yoga online is the part they do together, and, for a distributed company, often the only part of corporate wellness online that everyone experiences at the same moment.
Virtual wellness events
A live session as the thing on the schedule people actually turn up for.
Employee appreciation
An hour given back rather than another gift card.
Remote team wellness
Something shared for employees who otherwise only meet in a grid of tiles.
All-hands and offsite weeks
A break in a schedule that is otherwise entirely talking.
Onboarding cohorts
A gentler way for a new group to spend time together early on.
Recurring virtual employee wellness
A standing class that becomes part of how the month runs.
Taught by Julia
Why Rooted with Julia
Julia Giurleo is an RYT 200 trained yoga teacher, registered with Yoga Alliance, who works directly with every group she teaches.
Her classes are personal rather than scripted. She watches the room, adjusts the pace, and creates an environment where people can take part without feeling watched or assessed.
Online, that is largely a matter of teaching live rather than pressing play. You can learn more about Julia and how she came to teach this way.
- Taught live, every timeReal-time instruction rather than a prerecorded sequence. Julia responds to what she can see.
- One teacher, start to finishThe person you email is the person who teaches. No rotating roster, no substitute.
- Mixed-ability groups are normalEvery posture is offered with options, so a first-ever class and a long practice sit in the same session comfortably.
- Easy to organiseOne point of contact, a straight answer on the date, and a link you can forward.
Ready when you are
Bring Your Team Together for a Live Practice
However many locations your people are spread across, the class is one session, taught live, shaped around who is actually going to be in it.
Virtual corporate yoga FAQs
The usual questions.
A private yoga class for a company's employees, taught live over video rather than in a shared room. Everyone joins the same session from wherever they are working that day.
Julia teaches the class live on Zoom in real time. A private link goes out by email before the session, there is nothing to install on a laptop, and employees join a few minutes before the start.
Yes. Classes are taught with different experience levels in mind and Julia offers options throughout, so employees who have never done yoga can follow along without being singled out.
Yes. That is the point of the format. Remote, hybrid and multi-office teams can all join the same live class from home, from a desk or from a meeting room.
Enough floor space to extend their arms in every direction. Beyond that, home set-ups vary a great deal and the class is built to work around that rather than assume a spare room.
Comfortable clothing, water, and a mat where someone has one. Blocks are useful, though two firm books do the same job. Nothing beyond that is expected.
No. Cameras can stay off. For anyone taking a first class in their own living room, that tends to matter more than it sounds.
Yes. Companies can ask about a standing session as well as a one-time class. Recurring programming is covered in more detail on the employee wellness programs page.
Class length is planned around your schedule and the kind of session you want. Share how much time you have available when you enquire.
Pricing depends on the size of the group, the length of the class, and whether you are booking a single session or something recurring. Send over a few details about your team and Julia can give you options.
