Yoga for Strength Unity Truth

These days there are many of us who are working remotely from home, which does have its upsides. Flexible working hours and bye bye commute!  But it can also feel a little bit more stressful – home schooling or lack of boundaries can increase tension. Thats why more and more businesses are looking for ways to support their staffs' well-being. Corporate yoga or office yoga will give many benefits to employees and their employer.

Physical health

Spending lots of time sitting at a desk without moving your body, can leave you feeling stiff and/or tense. Yoga not only builds your strength but of course your flexibility, stretching out those tight muscles. 

Physical fitness is directly linked to having a stronger immune system and making you more resilient and less likely to be unwell. Great news considering the average number of 'minor illness' sick days in the UK is 38.5. That means, 38 days are lost per business. So a small investment from a company to offer a yoga class to its employee's will also see the benefit. Win-Win all round.

Mental Health

Yoga practise is a great way to start or finish the working day. Employee’s will feel energised and alert, and more likely to stay in positive frame of mind. Yoga also promotes mindfulness and mental focus which enhances mental agility, resulting in better decision making.

Team connection

Human interaction matters… and if you’re working alone you may feel a sense of disconnect from your colleagues, which can affect your mood and mental health. Yoga improves your frame of mind and makes people feel more positive by releasing serotonin and endorphins. Whats more, enjoying a yoga class together builds team spirit and a union.

Staff retention and positive outlook
