Corporate wellbeing program questions, answered.

It is an employer-funded set of recurring activities that help employees manage stress, build healthy habits, and stay focused at work. Chakra Hours runs a specific version of it: live, facilitator-led 30-minute sessions, not a self-guided app or a perks catalog.

Honestly, the generic ones often underperform. Self-guided step challenges and app licenses show weak engagement, which is what the well-known Harvard and RAND analyses flag. What moves the needle is the opposite: relevant, human-led sessions that employees actually attend together. Well-designed programs are linked to meaningfully lower stress-related absence over time.

An EAP is reactive: confidential support an employee calls once something is already wrong. A wellbeing program is proactive: it builds resilience and shared habits before burnout sets in. They complement each other, they do not replace each other.

Apps depend on individual willpower, and sustained engagement is usually low. Chakra Hours is live and scheduled: a real facilitator leads a session on the calendar, which is why attendance holds. There is no app for employees to download, log into, or abandon.

Live online sessions run on Zoom or Microsoft Teams. Live onsite sessions are delivered in person across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. We do both. "Live" always means real, scheduled, and human-led, never a recording or an app.

A standard Chakra Hours session is 30 minutes. Onsite formats run 30, 45, or 60 minutes depending on the modality, and retreat-day formats run a half day.

A class pack is a focused campaign of 4, 8, or 12 sessions delivered in a defined window. The Year-Round Program is a 12-month rhythm with two sessions a month, planned around awareness dates and your workplace cycles.

Yes. The recommended sequences are starting points. We tailor the curriculum to your team’s awareness-month plans, seasonal pressures, and specific stressors.

Industry-wide, programs run roughly $150 to $1,200 per employee per year depending on depth. Chakra Hours prices per program rather than per head: the First-Team Pilot, a one-time rate for new companies, is $395, a single live session is $695, a 4-session series is $2,400, the 8-session curriculum is $3,800, and the Year-Round Program is $1,200 a month on a 12-month commitment. Onsite Dallas-Fort Worth events are scoped on a quick call.

For well-designed programs the research points to a real return, commonly cited in the range of $1.50 to $3 back per dollar, mostly through lower absenteeism and turnover. The return builds over a few cycles, not overnight. You can model the numbers for your own team.

Generally yes. Employer wellbeing-program costs are ordinarily deductible business expenses. Confirm the specifics for your company with your tax advisor.

Many companies have wellness funds, engagement budgets, or broker-supported wellness dollars that apply to programming like ours, and that is usually the right route. Pre-tax HSA and FSA accounts generally cannot be used for general wellbeing programming unless it is tied to a medical condition, so check with your benefits provider or broker.

Yes. A W-9, a Certificate of Insurance, and a standard MSA are available on request, and we will redline yours instead if you prefer. We also provide a plain-language program summary for benefits, finance, and legal review.

Yes. If you upgrade within 30 days of completing your pack, we apply 50% of your pack fee as credit toward your first year of the Year-Round Program.

Three steps: pick a focus (stress, energy, or resilience), get light leadership buy-in, and put a recurring session on the calendar. With Chakra Hours it is a short discovery call, a scoped plan, then your first session, with no committee or platform build required.

Usually within a few weeks, not the multi-month timeline an enterprise platform requires. Once dates are chosen, a single session or a 4-session series can be scheduled quickly.

There is no headcount minimum. Unlike platforms that gate at 200-plus employees, Chakra Hours runs for teams of any size, a 30-person team and a 1,000-person organization both work, because pricing is per program rather than per seat.

Any time works, but anchoring to an awareness month, like Mental Health Awareness Month in May, gives a natural hook and a built-in reason to tell employees about it.

Participation is the single biggest reason programs succeed or fail. Live, scheduled sessions with a calendar invite consistently beat opt-in apps. Short 30-minute formats, a leader who attends, and topics that match what the team is actually feeling all drive turnout. Half the invited team showing up is a strong benchmark.

A standard live online session is sized for up to 200 attendees. Onsite sound bath seats up to 20, chair yoga up to 20, and mat-based office yoga up to 20. For larger groups, ask about staggered sessions or co-facilitation.

No. No app to install, and no platform login for employees to forget. A calendar invite, a Zoom or Teams link, and 30 minutes is all it takes.

Yes. Live online sessions run on Zoom or Microsoft Teams, so distributed and hybrid teams join the same session at the same time, and recordings cover anyone who misses it. For teams in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, we also deliver the same sessions onsite.

Nothing. Online sessions can be joined from a chair. Onsite chair yoga, sound bath, and mindful movement are fully clothed-friendly, with no mat or workout clothes required. We bring the props for mat-based formats.

Optional session recordings are included with all packs of 4 sessions or more, and available on request for single sessions.

Certified Chakra Hours facilitators, trained in The Workday Reset Method™. Each holds credentials in their practice, certified yoga and meditation teachers with breathwork and sound-based relaxation training, and all are experienced working with corporate teams and fully insured.

A four-pillar framework for sustainable workday wellbeing: Reset, Restore, Resource, Renew. It is built on stress-physiology research and what actually works in real teams, and it is what keeps every session practical rather than abstract.

No. Chakra Hours sessions are educational wellbeing programming, not medical care, therapy, mental-health treatment, or personalized nutrition advice. Employees should participate within their comfort level and consult a qualified healthcare professional for medical concerns.

Every program includes a pre-program Workday Wellbeing Audit, attendance tracking, and post-session feedback. Multi-session programs add a mid-program checkpoint and a post-program outcome summary. The Year-Round Program includes an annual outcome report.

The clearest signals are the participation rate (half of the invited team is a strong benchmark), the pre-to-post Wellbeing Audit, and qualitative feedback. We package these into a plain-language summary you can take straight to leadership.

Reports are built for HR to share with leadership directly. We aggregate the data with no individual employee identifiers and present results in plain language with clear next-step recommendations.
