Over the last few months staff wellbeing has become a focus for companies and organisations around the country. Staff engagement has largely focused around offering initiatives such as corporate yoga classes at the office for those based in larger offices.
With colleagues working from home, organisations can still encourage health and wellbeing by offering online yoga classes for all colleagues to access. Wherever you are based, it’s more important than ever to stay active and to take a break from the busy day. Although we miss the face to face teaching, as yoga teachers our live online classes helps reach more people.
Top tips to improve your workday
- Move more! Try to mix up sitting and standing at your desk.
- Hydrate often, which will also encourage you to get up from your desk.
- Look at your desk set up. How does your back and neck feel?
- Try standing when on calls or in meetings
- Take time to stretch at your desk – check out our 5 videos below that will help stretch your tight muscles
Many home workers have back problems due to poor desk set up. We have partnered up with Sit-Stand.com to provide supporters of YogaTonic UK a discount on standing desks / desk attachments. They have desks for both grown ups and kids. Both monthly subscribers and corporate subscribers can have a £50 discount on anything over £200. Please email yogatonicuk@gmail.com to learn more.
Benefits of Yoga in the Workplace
Online yoga classes allow colleagues from around the company to stay active and to enjoy both the physical and mental health benefits of yoga. The health and wellbeing of family members of colleagues is equally important to maintain staff engagement and staff retention.
In most work environments there is a broad cross section of people working with you. The benefits of yoga for men and women are both physical and mental. Online yoga is great for all ages, levels of experience and fitness.
We teach vinyasa flow yoga, as well as yin yoga; both of which provide time and tools for colleagues to practice how to clear your mind and how to improve concentration.
From a mental health point of view yoga is useful to help manage anxiety and for stress relief.
Encouraging colleagues to keep active through exercise, joining a corporate yoga initiative or learning a few yoga poses will all help support colleagues at this time.
It may have been that colleagues based remotely were unable to benefit from staff wellbeing initiatives. With work habits changing, with more people working from home more regularly, now could be the time to consider providing online yoga classes to your colleagues and their families as a cost effective and inclusive part of your staff wellbeing initiative.
