What is Blue Monday?

The third Monday of January is known as Blue Monday, the lowest-energy day of the year.

Short days, winter fatigue, and post-holiday pressure naturally reduce mood and motivation.

For teams, that shift often shows up as lower focus, slower momentum, and higher stress.

Why Breathwork?

Breathwork helps employees reduce stress and regain clarity in just a short session — with no equipment, and no preparation.

Immediate Stress Reduction

Simple breathing techniques activate the body’s natural relaxation response, a science-backed way to reduce stress signals within minutes. Employees feel calmer and more grounded, even during a busy workday.

Better focus and emotional regulation

Breathwork supports the nervous system to shift out of a stressed state, improving attention, clarity, and emotional steadiness. This science-backed reset helps teams stay present and collaborate more effectively.

Teams consistently report up to a 45% stress drop in under 30 minutes.
