What is that costing you?
The Opna Team Recovery Program gives your team a genuine, guided reset, so they come back sharper, calmer and ready to perform.
The high performing businesses don't lose good people to competitors. They lose them to a pace that was never going to be sustainable without deliberate support and nobody built that support into the plan.
The cost doesn't announce itself. It arrives as a resignation letter, a missed quarter, a team that's technically showing up but not fully there.
$39 billion lost annually to Australian businesses through stress-related absenteeism and presenteeism (sourced from the NSW Government and Black Dog Institute)
$3,500 per employee per year. The average direct cost of stress-related absence, before recruitment and retraining costs are counted.
For every $1 invested in addressing it, Australian businesses return $6 in reduced medical costs and recovered productivity.
WHAT IT IS
Most team sessions are social. This one is clinical.
The Opna Team Recovery Program brings professionally guided breathwork directly to your team, on-site, once a month. Not a workshop. Not a mindfulness exercise. A deliberate intervention for a nervous system that has been running in output mode for too long without a proper reset.
Your team lie down. They breathe. They leave different to how they walked in. Calmer, sharper, and with more in reserve than another coffee was ever going to produce.

THE SCIENCE
The reason it works isn't complicated. It's anatomy.
Under sustained pressure, the body runs in sympathetic dominance which is the state that prioritises threat response over clear thinking. Cortisol stays elevated. Heart rate variability (HRV) drops. Decision-making quality degrades. The team is present, technically functional, and quietly performing below what they're capable of.
Structured breathwork directly activates the parasympathetic nervous system which is the body's rest and recovery state. Research shows that slow, guided breathing lowers cortisol and increases HRV, a key marker of resilience and recovery.
A 2024 randomised controlled trial found that structured breathwork interventions deliver a 77% return on investment from the employer's perspective.
This is not trend-led. Companies that invest in wellness programs and resilience training have cut absenteeism by up to 30%, with organisations reporting a 25% boost in productivity.
Forty-five minutes of guided breathwork does more for your team's nervous system than another coffee, another team lunch, or another motivational speaker ever will.
THE PERFORMANCE CASE
Recovered teams don't just feel better. They bill better, retain better, and make better decisions under pressure.
The businesses that understand this don't treat team recovery as a cost. They treat it as the maintenance schedule for their highest-performing asset.
Looking after your team isn't a soft call. It's a performance strategy with a measurable return.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
The Opna Team Recovery Program
Every session includes:
Professionally guided group breathwork | 45 to 60 minutes, led on-site at your premises. No experience needed. No equipment. No special clothing.
Flexible scheduling built around your team's calendar, not the other way around.
A gifted 60-minute remedial massage each month, yours to give to whoever showed up and performed. A tangible recognition that goes further than a bonus.
A debrief after each session. One or two clinical observations about what was noticed in the room and one practical tool the team can use independently between sessions.
Monthly investment | $650
No. Breathwork is an active, guided technique with a measurable physiological effect, not a passive relaxation exercise.
Most people are sceptical until their first session. That's exactly why we offer a free test drive first.
That's precisely why teams need it. A short, regular reset costs you far less time than burnout, sick leave or turnover does.
Try it before you commit to anything. Your first session is free, no obligation, no pressure.
