CORPORATE YOGA CLASSES
Workplace Wellbeing
STRESS REDUCTION
Workplace wellbeing centres around stress reduction at work. Many studies have shown the benefits of yoga on stress reduction [i, ii, iii]. The idea of setting an intention during a practice or choosing to be an external observer to our thoughts allows us to react to our stressors in a more positive frame of mind. Your employees can then carry that through from their mat to the rest of their working day.
MINDFULNESS & RESILIENCE
Corporate yoga classes give your employees a chance to turn their focus inward. By focusing on how a posture feels or how they are breathing through movement, they are automatically practicing mindfulness. Repeatedly practicing these techniques helps us to change our neural pathways and increase our resilience to stress [i, iii, iv].
WELLBEING
The physical and mental techniques valued in yoga practices help people become being more comfortable in their own skin. This translates to other areas of life too, including the workplace [i, ii, iii, v].
More businesses than ever are prescribing to the importance of wellbeing in the workplace. It is just as important as productivity, and underlines all the key performance indicators that matter to you as a manager. In fact, happy employees are proven to take less sick leave and derive greater job satisfaction than job members who are stressed.
