Yoga Pays 3 to 1
Every dollar spent on yoga sessions and wellness practices, returns approximately $3 to the employer. An increase in overall well being of employees with less absences and better attitudes alone is sufficient enough to adopt a yoga lifestyle into the workplace.
Sick Again?!
Yoga revitalizes and detoxes the immune system flushing out toxins such as alcohol up to three times more quickly. Improved immunity means less workdays lost through colds, fatigue and other non-specific illnesses.
Belly Rumbling?
The stomach lining turns red just like your face does in anger. Large amounts of acid and enzymes are poured out when emotions such as anger, fear, jealousy, anxiety and tension get the best of us. Move over Malox - Yoga’s taking control!
My Achin' Back!
Back pain is the second highest reason, next to the common cold, for an extensive number of sick days in the US. Employees with stronger, healthier backs resulting from a regular yoga practice will miss significantly less work days.
So Sit Up Straight!
We have nerves that run all along our spines acting as a means of communication between the brain and all the various parts of the body and internal organs. Every day life, and especially sitting for long hours behind a desk, compresses those nerve endings thus sending out weak signals to the body which can lead to a myriad of health problems. Yoga postures focus on lengthening and strengthening the spine allowing your nerve endings to breath and tune in for a clear connection.
Get Focused
Yoga trains the mind in the art of single-pointedness, immediately improving mental concentration and focus for faster response time and attention to detail. It ignites the left and right sides of the brain so logical and creative thought unite.
Stay Cool
Deadlines, conflicts, projects and other workplace stresses can really take it’s toll on us mentally and then physically. We’ve all heard it said “take a deep breath and count to 10”. Yogic breathing will help you learn to relax and regroup.
Catch More Z’s
Is your mind still swimming when you lay your head on the pillow? Yoga relaxation techniques will help balance the brain’s neurotransmitters settling you for a deep nights sleep. Yoga awakens hidden reserves of energy within your nervous, endocrine and cardiovascular systems so drowsiness and fatigue are replaced by alertness and aliveness in the morning.
The Happy Pill
Yoga releases endorphins into the blood which oxygenate the brain that flat out make you feel good. It’s like your body’s own drug and the effect lasts for several hours after a yoga session.
No “I” in TEAM
Practicing yoga with fellow employees builds better communication, trust and compassion as you come to realize that we are not all that different and share many of the same struggles.?
Team Mantra
“I commit to greet each day with positive thoughts and healthy ways!”
