CORPORATE YOGA CLASSES
Yoga is a scientific discipline of removing or eradicating stress and tension at its source.
All tension, both physical and mental, is stored somewhere in the body and true stress reduction is a matter of discovering how to release that tension on both levels.
 
Yoga programs directly addresses tension in both the body and the mind. Our classes remove stress from both sources since tension in one area has a direct effect on the other. The classes offer simple, safe, and practical techniques that quickly reduce tension and stress at any time and place, especially in the office.
 
Our classes provide you with the following:
  • Ways to identify stress signals and indicators
  • Posture improvement for tension management
  • Strength building for greater resistance to stress
  • Techniques for the workplace designed to alleviate tension before it builds into stress
  • Safe exercises (designed over 2,500 years ago) that bring more energy to the body
  • Breathing techniques that support healthy "Mood Management"
The average workweek is increasing from 40 to 50 hours, or more, per week. This means that the average employee is assuming more and more responsibilities and dealing with unprecedented challenges. All of this leads to an alarming amount of stress in our lives.
 
Stress impacts our work environment by:
  • Reducing productivity and morale
  • Increasing injury and turnover
  • Raising benefits expenses
