Office Yoga in English for International Teams in Stockholm
Most workplace yoga in Stockholm runs in Swedish by default. That works fine for a team where everyone speaks Swedish. It does not work for the international tech, biotech, and consulting offices where the working language is English, half the team learned Swedish six months ago, and the other half are visiting from Berlin for the quarter.
I teach corporate yoga in English by default, which is built for exactly that situation. Here is how it works, what to ask for, and the formats that fit an international team.
Why the language matters more than HR thinks
You can run an English-only product team in Stockholm and still book a Swedish yoga teacher because "everyone gets it more or less". Here's what tends to happen.
- –The Swedes follow the cues comfortably and look relaxed at the end
- –The half-fluent Swedish speakers spend the class half a beat behind, watching the person next to them
- –The newer arrivals and visiting colleagues do roughly what they see and check out mentally halfway through
- –Afterwards the team rates it 4 out of 5, because polite, but no one asks when the next one is
A class run in English from the start removes that whole layer. The Swedes are fine, English is fine for them too. The international team members can actually listen instead of decode. The class lands the same way for everyone, which is what you wanted in the first place.
What I deliver
A short, recurring session for your team, in English, live on Teams. Meditation, breathing or chair yoga, 15 to 30 minutes, at the same time every week. People join from their desk, a meeting room or home. No mats, no changing, and no one needs to be a yoga person. It works for the engineer who runs marathons, the head of finance who hasn't stretched since school, and the new hire who's pregnant.
- –Style: meditation, breathing and chair yoga. No headstands, no hot room, no chanting
- –Duration: 15 to 30 minutes per session
- –Where: live on Teams, from the desk, a meeting room or home
- –Rhythm: two sessions a month, one a week, or two or more a week
- –Language: English by default. A few Swedish phrases for the Swedes if it fits
- –Recordings: only if you want them

Three formats that work for international teams
Weekly sessions on Teams
The core format. A short session on the same day and time every week, in everyone's calendar as a Teams link. People join, do the session, and go back to their day. The cumulative effect is what does the work, not any one session.
Why it works for international teams: the schedule is in everyone's calendar, nobody has to coordinate, the format is the same every week, and colleagues in other offices can join the same session.
- –Best for: teams that want a habit, including hybrid and distributed teams
- –Price: 2 990 SEK a month for two sessions a month, 4 990 SEK a month for one a week, from 8 900 SEK a month for two or more a week (excl. VAT)
- –From two sessions a week: a monthly check-in call with your contact person, usually HR
- –Start: a call, then a pilot session for 1 490 SEK, which we take off your first month if you continue
Weekly classes on site at your office
If you would rather have the team in one room, weekly classes at your office in Stockholm are available on request. The setup depends on the room, the group and the rhythm, so this one is quote only.
- –Best for: teams that are in the office on the same days
- –Price: get in touch for a quote
Conference yoga or kickoff day yoga
A single session as part of a conference, kickoff, or offsite. Morning before the program starts, afternoon as a reset between sessions, or end of the day as a closing. Works particularly well for international teams flying in from other offices, because everyone's slightly jet-lagged and a reset is the difference between an alert afternoon and a flat one.
Why it works for international teams: shared experience across people who don't see each other often. Yoga creates a shared room very quickly. Conversation flows better at dinner if everyone wobbled together at 09:00.
- –Best for: conferences, kickoffs, quarterly offsites, leadership weeks
- –Price: get in touch for a quote
- –Group size: 3 to 20 with my equipment, larger groups after a conversation about the space
- –More on the corporate events page
What to send when you email
To get a useful answer in the first reply rather than a back-and-forth, send the following:
- –Team size, and how many are in the office versus remote
- –Weekly on Teams, weekly on site, or a one-off event?
- –For an event: the date, the headcount and the address
- –Language: confirmed in English, or mixed Swedish/English
- –Any constraints: pregnancy in the team, injuries, anyone with a chronic condition

A note on what won't work
A few honest caveats, because I'd rather not waste your team's time.
- –Booking yoga for a team that's vocally resistant doesn't work. The reluctance spreads. If the team isn't up for it, do something else and revisit later
- –Squeezing an event session between two intense workshops doesn't work. The class needs some room either side to actually function. Build the schedule with that in mind
- –Booking once a quarter "for wellness" rarely sticks. The cumulative effect is what does the work. Either choose a weekly rhythm or treat it as a one-off experience, not both
A team day with SUP yoga and sauna is often a better fit than a single office class if the team is together infrequently. More on that in the team building guide.
Separately, if individual people on the team keep asking where they can practise in English on their own time, Golden Hour is a morning season on Södermalm, Mondays and Wednesdays 07:00 to 08:00 from 21 September to 26 October 2026. It counts as friskvård, so a lot of employees can put it through their wellness allowance. Worth passing on rather than answering one by one.
Frequently asked questions from HR and team leads
- Yes, by default. I'm Australian, 500-hour certified, and all my corporate classes run in English unless the team specifically asks for Swedish. A few Swedish phrases can be sprinkled in for Swedish team members if it fits.
- Yes. Meditation, breathing and chair yoga work for complete beginners and people who haven't moved much, from a normal office chair. No headstands, no fancy poses, nothing punishing.
- The weekly sessions run live on Teams, so people join from their desk, a meeting room or home. Weekly classes on site at your office in Stockholm are available on request, for a quote. Conferences and kickoffs are on site, also by quote.
- Weekly sessions on Teams are 2 990 SEK a month for two sessions a month, 4 990 SEK a month for one a week, and from 8 900 SEK a month for two or more a week, excl. VAT. You start with a pilot session for 1 490 SEK, which we take off your first month if you continue. On-site classes and events are quoted.
- For the Teams sessions, nothing beyond a chair and a screen. For on-site events I bring the equipment for up to 20 people. A full class with mats needs a room cleared of furniture.
- The session adapts. It can be modified around pregnancy (any trimester, but I need to know), knee and back injuries, shoulder issues, and most chronic conditions. Always flag anything specific in advance so I can plan modifications without singling anyone out.
- Yes, that is what the Teams format is for. Colleagues in the office can join together from a meeting room while remote colleagues join on their own, in the same session.
- Recordings only if you want them. From two sessions a week there is a monthly check-in call with your contact person, usually HR, about what is working and what to adjust.
