We help organizations become more vibrant and productive
Corporate wellness initiatives are becoming more widespread and mainstream for many workplaces today. Business leaders are recognizing the stress reducing, energy enhancing benefits that on-site yoga and stress-relief techniques can bring to their employees. Healthier and more relaxed workers mean less money lost to sick days and drug benefit payments. Many employers are even benefiting from reduced health insurance rates by implementing wellness programs that include yoga.
Yoga provides the benefits of relaxation and stress management training and physical, mental and emotional fitness, which can have a powerful impact on overall office and company culture, performance and costs.
Yoga offers many physical & mental benefits including improved focus, reduced stress levels and greater ease in movement. It is an excellent practice to combat repetitive stress injuries or postural imbalances that occur from long periods of sitting at a desk or computer. Yoga gives the skills to manage stress effectively. In this way, yoga benefits the workplace by increasing energy levels, which increases productivity, improves attention span, the ability to focus, higher stamina levels and enhances team relations.
Yoga in your workplace can be a great way to combat stress, connect with your colleagues in a fun and relaxing setting and increase overall wellbeing and physical fitness. We at RishmaYoga have seen how providing your employees with a weekly opportunity to take a few minutes out of their busy and hectic lives to learn how to breathe and stretch pays off in dividends.
Why Use Yoga in the Workplace?
The corporate environment can be increasingly challenging and stressful. Working in an office or at a computer for prolonged periods of time can put strain on the neck, shoulder and back muscles, which in turn can lead to tension and stiffness. This tension can cause headaches, as well as back, neck and shoulder pain that can change the mood and temperament of the individual causing a breakdown in productivity. Even short sessions of yoga stretches can release muscle tension and alleviate pains and aches, bringing up the mood and energy levels of those practicing and learning to incorporate easy and effective techniques to daily routines. Yoga is accessible to participants of all levels from beginner to advanced and can be modified to each individuals needs.
