Business-oriented Wellness & Resilience Training
"Studies have shown benefits against an array of conditions both physical and mental"
~ Harvard Gazette
As a mining company, we make safety and health our top priority. Especially in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, we believe it’s important to support our employees in terms not only of physical health and safety, but also mental health and wellbeing. We found Maneesh’s (virtual) session for our Japan team on Yoga and Mindfulness a great introduction to cultivating awareness to stay calm and grounded in these uncertain and stressful times, and were happy to learn some concrete, simple breathing exercises and poses that we can practice in our everyday lives.

We were so happy we were able to provide our staff with support and training of this kind, and we really see the results of the program that Maneesh and his team delivered. We will be continuing with the course and also look for new ways to help our staff to be happy and healthy in this ‘new normal.​~C.Omori, Head of Employee Wellness, Philips Japan
Maneesh offers tremendous insights on both the theoretical and practical aspects of wellness. He motivates you to take care of yourself and to create a culture of wellness within your organization. And he authentically cares. A joy to work with!

I recently had the pleasure of inviting MANTHAN founder, Maneesh Kalra, to offer wellness sessions at our MacKay CEO and Executive retreats. The participants were captivated by Maneesh's wealth of knowledge and engaging teaching style as well as his ability to make the sessions both informative and experiential. Maneesh not only provided valuable insights into various wellness practices but also inspired us to incorporate positive changes into our daily lives. His decades of dedication to mindfulness and wellness along with his corporate background and experience at the CEO level gave an authenticity to his teachings that clearly resonated with the CEOs and executives. Maneesh's commitment to enhancing well-being and his ability to make these teachings fun and accessible, regardless of the participant's background, truly sets him apart. I highly recommend Maneesh and his MANTHAN corporate wellness offerings to CEOs and leaders seeking an authentic, life-changing wellness experience for themselves or their employees.

Working with Maneesh over the past 10 months has proven something that I’ve observed about high-performing professional musicians. These musicians have high attention while being relaxed in their mindset. By applying these same principles, as we’ve learnt and practiced in detail with Maneesh, the leadership team has similarly become higher performing.
​
The best way I can describe our work with Maneesh is that it has strengthened what might be called the speed of trust. This has been essential for our leadership team to perform at a higher level. There’s now a higher awareness of self and a higher awareness of one’s surroundings and interactions with others, especially peer to peer, but also in the people that you report to and the people that report to you.

It would be difficult for me to measure how important Maneesh’s lessons have been for me over the past several years, but never more so than in the first half of 2020. There are the obvious physical benefits, but more importantly, the lessons in mindfulness and meditation have sharpened my ability to concentrate and to multitask beyond what I thought possible. And all while maintaining a degree of calmness I hadn’t known. Often, when I hear words like ‘meditation’ and ‘mindfulness’, I retreat. I have little time for that which is ‘fluffy’. Maneesh, as a former investment banker and hockey player, understands how initially off-putting the hippy-dippy elements can indeed be. Thankfully, they are there only if you want them. If not, you get a transformative introduction to a better version of yourself without the granola

We were thrilled to welcome Maneesh to our virtual All Staff meeting, facilitating the attendance of our cross-country team to participate together. The science of wellness resonated, and we appreciated Maneesh’s evidence-based approach; the connections between wellness and productivity were particularly intriguing! With staff in different time zones, it was great that Maneesh offered a series of shorter follow-up sessions that allowed our group to digest information and wellness practices in smaller, bite-size chunks. His tips are practical, accessible and couldn’t have come at a better time.
Thank you Maneesh!

Maneesh provided a session for the employees in one of our functions and it was great to have such a powerful but at the same time straight forward session, with simple yet impactful exercises, that became even more available for our employees thanks to his thoughtful guidance and approach. We would definitely love to work together again and bring such benefits on a wider scale in our organization.

Our wellness & team-building retreat with Maneesh & the MANTHAN Wellness team was an incredibly uplifting and transformative experience. The mindfulness exercises such as mindful eating and walking meditation along with the pairwork in the yoga and 'getting to really know each other' sessions, were powerful catalysts for deepening the connections between our colleagues.
Our team was so inspired by Maneesh's passion for wellness and with the humour and practicality in his approach, that we are already looking for ways to offer long-term, regular wellness sessions together. We are also looking forward to a longer, more in-depth retreat together later this year.
Any company that cares for the wellbeing and sanity of their employees should be exploring options with Maneesh & MANTHAN Wellness!

Al-Terra is an employee-owned company that prioritizes treating ourselves and others kindly. One of our Core Values emphasizes the importance of maintaining a balance between work and play, “work hard, play hard and do what is right, always”. We felt that with the hustle and bustle of getting the job done, we were overlooking the importance of self-care within our workday. Maneesh has shared several techniques with us that focus on breathing, stretching, and posture and we have integrated these techniques into our daily routines. These small efforts have had a significant impact, providing comfort throughout the day. We value what Maneesh has brought to our company and feel that this investment into our collective well-being has improved our organization and mindset.

Thanks to the regular sessions with MANTHAN,
I now find happiness in even the smallest of things.
I rarely paid heed to my physical and mental wellbeing until I took this course.
I can now look inside myself.
This course helped me to understand ‘awareness’ and how to use it.
And, this has changed my life!
