One of the unique offerings of yogabirmingham is yoga in the workplace.

Additionally, James offers meditation classes, which are typically around 30 minutes in length.
These classes can be held regularly or as an introductory course to help individuals set up their own meditation group. The meditation techniques taught by James are simple, practical, and highly beneficial for those with busy and stressful lives, promoting improved balance, perspective, and productivity.
