Is your bike in need of a little TLC? Don't let a rusty chain or a flat tire keep you from cruising to work in style. Bring your bike to our office bike tune-up event, and our expert mechanics will have your wheels spinning like new in no time.

We'll give your bike a thorough inspection, tightening up any loose bolts or screws and making sure your brakes and gears are functioning perfectly. We'll also lube your chain and pump up your tires, so you can ride with confidence and ease.

Our tune-up event is open to all employees, whether you're a seasoned cyclist or just starting out.

Our experienced meditation instructors will guide you through a series of calming visualizations and breathing exercises, designed to help you let go of your worries and connect with your inner self.

Our certified yoga instructor will guide you through a series of gentle yoga poses and breathing exercises, all while seated in your office chair.

No need to change into workout clothes or bring a yoga mat - all you need is your office chair and an open mind. Our classes are suitable for all levels, from beginners to experienced yogis, and are designed to improve your flexibility, reduce tension and promote mental clarity.

So, take a break from your busy day and join us for in-office chair yoga. Your body and mind will thank you for it!

Our bodies and brains run on internally programmed clocks called circadian rhythms. These cycles tell us when to sleep and when to wake up, and ultimately affect how we feel every day. Join Tara Zinnamon, PhD Neuroscience and mindfulness instructor in conversation on how the levers we pull with light, temperature, food, movement, meditation and breathing techniques can improve sleep, immunity, focus and boost our overall well-being.

Meet you host:

Tara is a Yoga Teacher and has a PHD in Neuroscience. Tara's fascination with human behavior and optimizing biology to live with more ease led her to study the neuroscience of health and disease over the past fifteen years. Drawing upon her insight and research gained through working within both academia and industry, Tara began to explore mindful movement, meditation and breathwork to optimize health and wellbeing. Tara's classes focus on awareness, acknowledgement and acceptance as a foundation for growth. She guides students in a light-hearted and playful way with an emphasis on mindfulness.
