The Shard

Last week The Shard office occupiers were able to participate in 20 wellness events hosted in partnership with Third Space, Martyna Borek Yoga, Chloe Smart Astrology, HCA Healthcare UK and www.thechirocollective.org, alongside free daily fruit, mindful mandala colouring and a wellness hamper raffle.

Meet Martyna Borek, a remarkable yoga teacher who turned her life around through the power of yoga. She has become one of London's most sought-after instructors, leading classes for occupiers at The Shard, twice a week. Martyna believes yoga should be accessible to everyone, focusing on healing, self-care, and personal growth. Her unique approach tailors each session to her students' needs, helping them navigate the challenges of corporate life. Once a month, she invites students to join her at The View from The Shard, where the breathtaking views inspire a sense of calm and connection. https://lnkd.in/eEtX7TRn

Meet Jennifer Herbert, Head of Talent Acquisition at global business consultancy Protiviti UK. She says The Shard is a major pull-factor for recruitment: “People’s eyes light up when you tell them where the role is.” On a regular working day, Jennifer commutes to London Bridge by train and uses her Shard Members Card for discounted coffee on her way to the office. But today she has a special guest. Taking her mother, Bron, for dinner at the Shangri-La Hotel in The Shard with incredible views over London was a memorable experience. “To have her here, in amongst where I feel myself and am proud of what I’ve achieved, I’ll always have that moment,” says Jennifer. Protiviti moved its UK headquarters to The Shard in 2015.
