Amid the uncertainty of post-pandemic life, Pia Tedeschi was commissioned to lead a series of wellness workshops at Nike Campus — a supportive initiative to ease employees back into in-person work during the fragile transition after Covid-19 lockdowns.

With anxiety still high and the world adjusting to new rhythms, these workshops provided space to breathe — literally and metaphorically.

The sessions were designed to offer:

• Grounding techniques for managing stress

• Breathwork practices as tools for presence

• Body-based movement to reconnect after long periods of isolation

Employees from across the campus were invited to join, reconnecting not only with each other, but with themselves.

A special session was also curated for Nike’s marketing leadership team, guiding them through deeper practices that fostered responsiveness, creative clarity, and emotional expansion — essential qualities in uncertain times.

These workshops reminded everyone of a powerful truth: the breath is always available, and with it, the ability to return to calm, presence, and resilience — no matter what the world outside may bring.
