CPL Aromas focuses on the health and wellbeing of our staff

Prior to the current global pandemic, Genna, a senior household care chemist at CPL was holding popular relaxation classes at the CPL UK sites during lunchtimes. These involved breathing techniques and light stretches. With the world currently going through unprecedented times and at this time of recommended isolation, it’s important to take care of your well-being! Since holding classes together is no longer an option, CPL have been able to introduce virtual lessons with Genna on screen. 

The class is designed to relax and provide tools and techniques that can be used to relax, reduce anxiety and bring a little peace and presence into our ever-moving minds. The class is mainly composed of seated foundational yogic breathing techniques, subtle movements and a relaxing meditation.

Talking about the importance of coping mechanisms for mental health challenges, making mindful decisions and enhancing an individual’s potential and self-belief Genna said; 

In this time of uncertainty and unease we will harness the stillness to sustain balance through peace of mind and a grateful heart
