Reduce Employee Stress with On-site Workplace Yoga Classes

More and more companies, medical centers and school systems are discovering that yoga is a cost effective and highly successful way to energize their employees. Yoga is a great way to help manage work related stress. It produces a deep relaxation that eases tension and lowers stress. Yoga teaches us that taking time to relax is very important for good health. When you are relaxed, you are centered. When you are centered, you are calm and peaceful even amid a frenetic, chaotic, competitive world. Worksite yoga classes offer:
  • Reduced stress levels
  • Improved mental clarity
  • Greater physical strength and endurance
  • A more positive attitude
  • Improved flexibility and balance
  • Enhanced creativity, productivity
  • Better posture
However, these benefits can be enjoyed off the mat as well. For example, you could perform simple yoga stretches at you desk to help prevent muscle stiffness and eye soreness. You can use a relaxing yoga breathing technique to help you through stressful situations. You could use an energizing yoga breath to help clear your mind allowing you to focus on a certain project. There are also many different meditations that can, for example, help promote inner strength, creativity, self awareness, problem-solving, clarity, coping, healing, positive outlook, etc.

The benefits of yoga reach far beyond the mat. Use the techniques to help you in the office and in your personal life. Contact Energy in Motion LLC to set up your on-site yoga program and help find a solution to reducing workplace stress!
