Take A Pause
Wellbeing for Professionals, by Professionals
At Take a Pause, we bring meaningful wellbeing into the flow of your workday, helping people feel better, move better, and breathe better. Our tailored sessions and programmes are built around the BodyMind connection, combining modern science with timeless practices to support physical, mental, and emotional health.
Whether it’s a focused breathwork session, a functional movement reset, or a company-wide wellbeing plan, we help individuals and teams pause with purpose, boosting energy, resilience, and sustainable performance. Our mission is simple, to create a working culture where humans can thrive, not just survive.
We are based in London/online UK wide and face-to-face in London
Why Choose Us
-
Outcome Focused
We use pre and post session tools to track improvements in energy, focus, and musculoskeletal health, so participants can see and feel the difference in real time.
-
Holistic View on Wellbeing
We intentionally integrate functional breathing, modern movement practices, and science-led techniques that support nervous system balance. The tools are practical, effective and create lasting change in body and mind.
-
Designed for Real Working Lives
Our wellbeing programmes are broken down into bite-sized workshops and sessions that can be incorporated into the working day. Wellbeing becomes part of the company culture rather than being a tick-box initiative.
Meet the Founders
Sadie and Laura have spent over ten years practising yoga and exploring holistic health alongside their full-time careers. In 2020, they completed their yoga teacher training and began integrating breathwork, movement, and coaching into their workplaces for the benefit of their colleagues.
By 2023, after one especially grounding yoga class and a conversation over brunch, they realised the same tools that had transformed their own wellbeing could, and should, be shared in the workplace. Take a Pause was born.
Since then, they’ve been creating intentional programmes that help teams build sustainable energy, reduce burnout, and bring more focus and calm into the working day.
Everything they deliver is measurable, trackable, and designed for real people with real demands. Their programmes go beyond one-off sessions, combining education, accountability, and measurable impact to create healthier, more connected workplace cultures.

“Having spent the last ten years in both large and small organisations, I know the stresses that come with high targets, multiple KPIs and client facing roles. Professionals have to work hard to keep up with company objectives and handle ever changing markets. Workplaces need to provide time and space for people to recharge, find stillness, and feel good in their bodies, thereby balancing the demands of the 9-to-5 workday. When the people feel good - it’s good for business - it really is that simple.”

“I know what it’s like to feel burnt out and de-motivated when working in high pressure working environments. Working in the NHS and corporate sectors as a dental care professional, I would have to give my best to patients whilst feeling low in myself. Breath-work has been my saviour in many ways. It gives me the calm I need in the moments that matter. It makes me better in my professional capacity and so I want to help others achieve this too.”
