Corporate Yoga
Employee wellness is a growing concern for companies everywhere. With chronic stress being a leading cause in both physical and mental health issues, unprocessed stress not only endangers employee health, but damages employee performance as well.
Corporate yoga and in-office mind-body classes are proactive ways for companies to help workers prioritize self-care ,,bolster workplace resilience and encourage team building.
Performance Demands Hard Work and Stress Release
We all know that tension and pressure are necessary in order to get things done well and done efficiently. But, without the time or skills necessary to destress, employees begin to feel over worked and over-burdened.
Stress levels grow unchecked, which strains employee health and hurts morale, leading to increased sick days, diminished performance, reduced productivity, passive aggressive slow downs, and at its worst employee burnout.
Let’s not forget employee retention, a stress-related factor that is often dependent on employees feeling free to prioritize self-care without endangering their positions.
Support Employee Self-Care
Incorporating corporate yoga into your company’s wellness initiative is an elegant way to demonstrate your support of employee self-care while simultaneously improving employee retention and performance.
The Corporate yoga sessions are adaptable and accessible to all levels of fitness. Often, the first few sessions focus on breathing techniques, light stretching and low intensity dynamic movements. Employees not only benefit from reducing stress with each session but also learn stress reduction techniques they can easily incorporate into their workdays.
And the benefits of corporate yoga go beyond employee wellness and retention.
Team Building
Time and time again, employees say that the best jobs they ever had were because of the team they worked with. Consistent in-office mindfulness and yoga sessions bring coworkers together as a team-building activity. Injecting a little fun into the day and providing employees with a weekly release valve they can look forward to does wonders for motivation and fostering a cohesive workplace environment.
As an employer, you can help employees take charge of self-care and meet their wellness goals by facilitating consistent wellness practices and bringing yoga classes into the office.
Though consistency is key, a mind-body workshop is often a great entry point to see how corporate yoga can benefit your company from the inside out.
