The practice of yoga has expanded exponentially over the years, beyond the confines of studios. Nowadays, yoga classes can be found all over the place, including gyms, schools and offices.
Corporate Yoga during COVID-19
As you may imagine, teaching yoga to several people in an office environment feels significantly different from a studio-based yoga class. Corporate yoga classes have become the norms for many organisations across the world, with classes often forming a vital component of a company’s staff engagement and corporate wellness scheme.
Office yoga offers substantial benefits to businesses, such as:
- Reduced stress and anxiety
- Improved productivity
- Energy and morale boosts
- Better physical and mental health
- Happier employees
- Great team exercises
It’s no secret that companies are taking wellbeing at work very seriously, particularly nowadays.
COVID-19 has changed the landscape of how many businesses operate these days. The past few months have seen some organisations gradually bring employees back into the workplace, but of course, now there are limitations and restrictions on what can and can’t be done involving people and companies outside that organisation. What’s more, many staff are still working from home.
It would be rare to find an organisation that is incorporating large-scale office yoga classes, due to social distancing and protection measures in place. That, and arguably, the physical staff numbers just aren’t as extensive to justify the need for a full-scale workplace yoga class.
This has led to many questions about where this leaves companies, and what wellbeing activities at work their staff can do during these unprecedented and polarising times.
How can Companies Ensure Health and Wellbeing at Work in 2020?
YogaTonic UK have two solutions which can both improve physical and mental wellbeing at work, and also accomplish all general benefits of yoga at the same time.
Corporate Yoga Videos Online
Given that many staff have had to drastically adjust their schedules and work-home life balance because of coronavirus, YogaTonic UK’s online yoga videos offer a flexible solution which you can enjoy wherever you are.
Yoga itself is very inclusive and accessible for everybody, whether they have returned to the office or not, and having yoga videos on-demand means employees can do it in their own time. What’s more, YogaTonic UK have a plethora of yoga videos online to choose from, many of which can be enjoyed with friends, families and children.
Live Online Classes
Streaming live yoga classes lets everyone experience the feeling of an office yoga session, wherever you may be. Practising yoga at home or at work (if you are back in the office) in a live-streamed session is viable, accessible and as previously mentioned, accomplish all the same benefits of corporate yoga classes. The only real difference is that classes are done remotely.
With virtual yoga sessions, either on-demand or live-streamed, employees can still find they can effectively manage their work and leisure routines. With YogaTonic UK, our yoga sessions can incorporate a variety of different styles, including vinyasa flow or yin yoga as well as HIIT workout routines, for those that want a more active session.
