When did team bonding become synonymous with going out for drinks?
For some teams and groups, drinks and dinner are great. But if you're looking for something a little different – something that gets people laughing, moving, switching off and genuinely connecting – a wellness experience might be exactly what you're looking for.
At The Bathhouse in Douglas Park, South West Sydney, we offer wellness activities for groups, corporate teams, hens parties, birthdays and friends looking for a different way to spend time together.
From Aerial Yoga and Yin Yoga to breathwork and sound healing, our group wellness experiences are designed to bring people together without another night at the pub.
Aerial Yoga for Groups in Sydney
If you've never tried Aerial Yoga before, that's part of the fun.
Using suspended aerial hammocks, an Aerial Yoga class combines movement, stretching and yoga-inspired poses in an experience that feels completely different from your standard yoga class.
And no, you don't need to be flexible or an experienced yogi.
For groups, Aerial Yoga is about trying something new together. There will usually be a few laughs, a few "how am I supposed to do that?" moments and plenty of encouragement from the people around you.
It's a great option for corporate team bonding, hens parties, birthdays, women's groups and small group celebrations where you want an activity everyone will actually remember.
Our Aerial Yoga classes at The Bathhouse cater for smaller groups, making them ideal for a more intimate team or group experience.
Why Choose Wellness for Corporate Team Building?
Not everyone drinks.
And not everyone wants their work Christmas party, team-building day or staff celebration to revolve around alcohol.
A corporate wellness day gives your team an opportunity to step away from their normal environment, slow down and connect in a completely different setting.
Rather than sitting around a table talking about work, you're sharing an experience.
You might start with Aerial Yoga, spend time relaxing in the Bathhouse facilities, enjoy some food together and finish with another wellness experience.
It feels less like forced "team building" and more like giving your people a genuinely enjoyable day together.
Wellness Activities for Groups at The Bathhouse
Aerial Yoga isn't the only option. Depending on your group and the type of experience you want to create, there are several wellness classes you can incorporate into your day.
Aerial Yoga
Fun, different and interactive.
Aerial Yoga is a great choice if your group wants to move, laugh and try something they may never have done before. It's particularly suited to smaller groups and can be incorporated into a larger Bathhouse experience.
Aerial Yin Yoga
Want something slower?
Aerial Yin uses the hammock to support the body through slower, more relaxing movements and stretches. It's a beautiful option for groups who want the novelty of aerial yoga but prefer a calmer wellness experience.
Yin Yoga
If your group needs to slow down rather than speed up, Yin Yoga could be the perfect fit.
This is a much slower style of yoga focused on holding supported poses and taking some time away from the constant rush of everyday life.
For corporate groups, particularly teams that have been through a busy or stressful period, it can be a refreshing change from traditional high-energy team-building activities.
Breathwork
Sometimes the best thing you can give a busy team is permission to stop.
Our breathwork experiences provide dedicated time to disconnect from the outside world and focus inward.
It can be incorporated into corporate wellness days, women's events, retreats and group experiences for those wanting something deeper than a traditional social activity.
Sound Healing
For groups looking for something deeply relaxing, a sound healing experience can create a completely different atmosphere.
Rather than talking, performing or competing, your group simply gets to lie down, switch off and experience the session together.
It's particularly suited to wellness days, retreats and groups looking for a calming experience.
Build Your Own Corporate Wellness Day
Your group experience doesn't have to stop when the class finishes.
One of the benefits of hosting a corporate wellness day at The Bathhouse is being able to combine your wellness activity with time to relax together.
Your group could create an experience incorporating a wellness class followed by time enjoying our mineral pools, hydrotherapy spas, sauna, steam room and other Bathhouse facilities.
You can also explore treatments, recovery experiences and food options depending on the size of your group and the type of day you're planning.
Instead of:
Work → drinks → dinner → home
Try:
Wellness class → robes on → mineral pools → sauna → grazing → actually talking to each other.
It's team bonding without feeling like team building.
Wellness Activities for Hens Parties and Celebrations
This isn't just for corporate groups.
Wellness activities are becoming a great alternative for people who want a hens party or group celebration that doesn't revolve around drinking.
Maybe your bride isn't a big drinker. Maybe you've got pregnant guests, mums and aunties coming. Or maybe you're all at the stage where spending the day in robes sounds significantly better than spending the next day recovering from a hangover.
An Aerial Yoga or wellness experience gives your group something to do together before spending the rest of the day relaxing, eating, talking and celebrating.
And if some of the girls want cocktails afterwards? They can absolutely make that part of the day too.
Wellness doesn't have to mean boring.

Team Bonding Doesn't Need to Involve Alcohol
Some of the best conversations happen when people are relaxed.
You don't necessarily need another trust exercise, conference room or boozy work lunch to bring a team together.
Sometimes you just need to get everyone out of their normal environment and give them something completely different to experience together.
Try Aerial Yoga. Put the robes on. Get in the mineral pool. Switch the phones off for a while.
Your next team-building day might be less about building a team – and more about giving your team the space to actually connect.
