Get-Fit Networking will be a series of different exercise based networking events, starting with a series of yoga sessions in January 2026.
In today’s fast-paced business world, it’s easy to feel stretched thin. Yoga offers a moment to pause, breathe, and recharge. Our networking yoga sessions are designed to ease tension, sharpen focus, and promote a sense of calm that carries through the workday. Yoga helps businesspeople feel refreshed, motivated, and ready to perform at their best – creating a healthier, happier workplace for everyone.
We have teamed up with 1Leisure to provide a 4-week programme, which has been supported by PC Consultants. These sessions will take place on Tuesday 6, 13, 20 & 27 January 2026 – from 11.30am – 1pm.
