The major benefits of having or joining Yoga Classes in your workplace:
|
1. Reduces Sick Leave and Reduces Injury
Sedentary jobs increase the burden on the musculoskeletal system. Long periods of relative stillness stiffens joints and muscles. So when we do move we are more likely to strain. Classes benefit our general health and wellbeing, easing discomfort from hours of sitting or standing and the aggravation of long term conditions. |
2. Reduces Stress and Anxiety which equals Greater Productivity
Stress is one of the major modern issues, it reduces effectiveness, strains our health and can be emotionally destabilising. Classes can assist in training the body and mind to remain calm under pressure. Providing a break in the day to relax, move the body and put our concerns down for a period of time. |
3. Promotes a more Supportive Work Environment
Wellbeing in the work place helps to change our mental relationship with work. We can be positive about the content of our day/week when we know there are scheduled activities that allow us time to focus on ourselves. Classes can help in changing attitudes and environments in a workplace putting our health and wellbeing in the same conversation as corporate targets and goals. |
Mindfulness:
Is a growing field of scientific study and a growing interest in the coporate arena, this has spurred on the mainstream development of programs catering more specifically to the needs of the business environment. Mindfulness is the development of your ability to stay connected to and aware of how well you are responding vs reacting to the people and situations immediately around you. It focuses on developing your skills to reflect, evaluate and review your short and long term interactions/ decisions/ mindset. Mindfulness is a integral part of the yoga practice building the foundation of mental stability, flexibility and awareness.
