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. Increasing flexibility is often sited as the initial reason for starting yoga, though it is both the mind and body that benefit, with office yoga also helping to contribute to reduced stress levels amongst employees.
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.
Our one-off course packages, on-demand memberships and class bookings are now on our new parent site:
