Corporate Yoga

Corporate Yoga is a yoga practice that takes place exclusively in the workplace, often as part of an employee wellbeing scheme, or as part of a private yoga class.

The idea of corporate yoga is to bring a team or department together, increase employee productivity and improve workplace morale.

Corporate Yoga sessions can be arranged so that they provide a break in the workday, as a way to de-stress at the end of the day, or as a way to prepare for the day ahead. 

All corporate yoga practices include the foundational principles of yoga including physical stretching exercises, breathing techniques, mindfulness practice and relaxation techniques. 

Benefits Of A Corporate Yoga Program

Focused
Practicing yoga trains people in the fine art of single-pointedness, thereby boosting mental concentration and focus.

Creative
A study conducted by Eric Hoffman, Ph.D. that measured brain waves before and after a two-hour Kriya Yoga class found that alpha waves (relaxation) and theta waves (unconscious memory, dreams, emotions) increased by 40 percent. This means the brain is more deeply relaxed after yoga and the subjects have better contact with their subconscious and emotions. The Scandinavian study is significant for office workers because after the yoga session, alpha waves increased in the right temporal lobe. That means more creativity and better ability to problem solve.

Happy
Practicing yoga transforms apathy and anxiety by oxygenating the brain and increasing the level of endorphins in the bloodstream. Happier employees are more productive and will stay with your company for longer. Happier employees always leads to increased staff retention and less absenteeism.

Team Player
Practicing yoga together is an effective way to build better communication and trust between members of a team.
