What Is Sit Happens?
Sit Happens is a corporate wellbeing programme in Nottingham, delivered on-site to desk-based teams within a 15-mile radius. Over twelve weeks, employees reduce physical tension, rebuild steady energy, and improve focus through structured workplace movement sessions and breathwork designed for real working environments.
This is not a generic corporate yoga class.
It’s a structured workplace movement programme in Nottingham that supports posture, concentration, and stress regulation across the full workday.
Let’s be honest. Your team doesn’t need another talk about resilience. They need to stand up. Move properly. Breathe properly. And remember what having a body actually feels like.
Is This Right For Your Workplace?
If you want a one-off motivational talk, this isn’t it.
If you want a practical program that improves how your team feels week after week, this is a strong fit.
If you need visible, measurable structure rather than vague wellbeing language, this will make sense.
What It’s For
Every office has the same quiet problem. People are seated all day, slightly folded in half, holding tension they don’t notice until it hurts.
Focus fades. Energy drops. Productivity turns into survival mode. Sit Happens gives teams a full-body, full-mind reset. It helps people:
release neck, shoulder, and back tension
rebuild steady energy and focus
move better, think clearer, and work smarter
manage stress before it snowballs into burnout
This isn’t about turning your team into athletes.
It’s about restoring function, comfort, and calm so the workday stops costing the body.
Who It's For
Many companies search for office wellbeing in Nottingham when what they actually need is structured movement that supports staff wellbeing long-term, not just a one-off talk.
Teams of up to 20 people, in person
For people who spend more time in chairs than in daylight
Leaders who want real wellbeing, not buzzwords
Companies that understand burnout doesn’t start in the head
Sit Happens meets people where they are, without forcing, fixing, or performing.
How it works
Duration
12 weeks
Session length
60 minutes
Led by
Viki Thorbjorn - artist, movement teacher, and wellbeing specialist
Location
Your office or workspace within Nottingham and a 15-mile radius (West Bridgford, Beeston, Arnold, surrounding areas). Occasional travel beyond this is possible by arrangement.
Each phase builds on the last. This isn’t about intensity. It’s about consistency and feeling better week by week.
The 12-Week Flow
Each week adds another layer of strength, ease, and awareness through intelligent movement. This isn’t about intensity; it’s about showing up and feeling better each time.
Reset
Reconnecting with the body. Moving the spine. Remembering what upright actually feels like in real workday conditions.
Rebuild
Reducing unnecessary tension, restoring support, and building strength through intelligent, upright movement that supports sitting and standing.
Integrate
Bringing everything back into the workday: desks, meetings, standing conversations, and long afternoons.
By the end, movement feels normal again. Not like another task. Just part of being at work.
How It Feels
The body opens up. Focus returns. Stress starts losing its grip. People move with less effort. Think with more clarity. They finish the day less wound up and more themselves.
This isn’t about doing more. It’s about feeling better while doing what you already do.
What clients say
What Changes
better posture and mobility
calmer, more focused teams
fewer aches, fewer slumps, fewer sick days
higher morale and genuine engagement
People show up differently: more present, more capable, and a lot less tightly held
Investment
This isn’t a “nice extra.” It’s a structural upgrade for how your team feels and functions.

Why Me
Where I Started
I’ve been teaching movement since before wellness became a buzzword.
Aerobic, strength, step, HIIT, conditioning. I’ve taught it all.
I was also a competitive athlete, so I understand what drive does to a body, and what it costs when you never stop.
Where I Am Now
These days it’s Pilates, yoga, and art.
Slower maybe. Not softer.
Why That Matters Here
I hold an MA in Creative Practice (Distinction), which ties movement back to focus, presence, and emotional awareness.
What I teach in Sit Happens comes from decades of watching how people move, breathe, and burn out.
It’s movement with intelligence. Calm with structure and strength without strain.
I know how to get people going, and how to help them finally stop.
Why It Works
Because humans weren’t designed for chairs or inboxes.
Sit Happens brings people back to their bodies through movement, breath, and awareness, in a way that actually lasts. It’s grounded, evidence-based, and emotionally intelligent. The humour keeps it light; the depth makes it stick.
How Most Companies Start
Most teams begin with the Intro Session. It allows your team to experience the method before committing to the 12-week programme. From there, you decide whether to continue with the full reset.
The Intro Session
Before committing to twelve weeks, let your team feel what this work actually does.
The Intro Session is a 2.5-hour employee wellbeing workshop in Nottingham, delivered on-site and combining movement, breathwork, and practical education that teams can apply immediately.
People leave calmer, clearer, and usually a little taller.
It helps teams:
-
- feel the difference between tension and support
- learn simple ways to breathe and focus during the day
- understand how stress shows up in the body and how to switch it off
Intro Sessions are delivered on Tuesdays at 10am at your workplace. Dates are arranged directly after the enquiry to keep things simple.
Book Your Intro Session
Intro Session (2.5 hours): £500 (up to 20 people), the perfect starting point to experience the program before committing to a full 12-week cycle.
It’s engaging, restorative, and gives your team a real sense of what twelve weeks can change. Intro Sessions are delivered on Tuesdays at 10am at your workplace.
Two and a half hours that remind your team what feeling human actually feels like.
