Yoga in the workplace or Corporate Yoga has become a trending subject in recent times. And there are many reasons why this is a good thing!
Of course it depends on the type of work one does - but many occupations involve static positions or repetitive actions sustained over many hours as goals and targets are met. More recently the rapid transition to home working due to the Covid-19 pandemic has led to less than optimal work spaces being used and increased pressure on individuals with regard to job security and social isolation. Stress, static positions or constant repetition of posture can lead to back pain, sore wrists, headaches, hip pains, low energy, poor sleep and stress....among many more maladies resulting increased absenteeism, unhappy employees and reduced team productivity. Imagine a practice designed to be used during the workday with minimal interruption to the flow of work but maximal effect on your employees health and well-being. Imagine offering your employees self-help tools which they can access to improve well-being, focus and health. Yoga can often be thought of as a bit of stretching done on a mat in stretchy clothes and that is the sum total of it. Yoga offers a whole host of tools, movements and stress management techniques which can be applied in any workplace without need of props, mats, stretchy clothes. Workplace yoga offers an opportunity to move where you are and in so doing relieve the stress on overworked portions of the body such as backs, shoulders.... Workplace Yoga offers the space to attend to ones breath and in so doing find a tool to increase energy and set aside stress. Workplace Yoga offers the practice of practical meditation and in so doing enhances focus and productivity. Workplace Yoga can be a small practice with large affects. There is no need for changing clothes, mats or special equipment. ..but if you want to do all that that's fine.
