HAPPY WORKERS

The benefits of a happy workforce include:

• Increase Confidence: It doesn’t take long to reap the benefits of yoga to the body image. It only takes a few classes to feel and see noticeable changes and measure your progress. Yoga especially helps to realise the strength and flexibility you have.

• Boost Morale: Yoga will most probably still be quite new to people especially as a group in the workplace. Trying something new and active with your colleges in the same position can create bonds and boost team morale.

• Increase Energy: Yoga works on clearing blocked energy channels, so when we elongate the body, it energises the nervous system. As it also aids/improves sleep.

HEALTHY WORKERS

The relaxation techniques incorporated in yoga can lessen chronic pain, such as lower back pain, arthritis, headaches and carpal tunnel syndrome, Yoga can also lower blood pressure and reduce insomnia, the benefits include:

• Improve Posture: Whatever the nature of the business, whether sitting most of the day or moving in a repetitive way, chances are the natural curvature of the spine and pelvis will need re-aligning. A huge benefit of yoga is finding the natural shape by lengthening the sides of the waist, tilting the pelvis and broadening the back. Yoga also stretches major muscles groups and increases joint mobility to prevent joint aches and stiffness.

• Boosts immune system:Yoga switches on the immune system, the lymphatic system and gets the blood flowing. It supports bone health through weight- bearing exercises. Essentially, immune boosting = less sick days.

• Increased Flexibility: Increased flexibility is an enormous benefit of Yoga. It promotes the range of motion and joint health that help prevent back pain, repetitive-use damage, and sports injuries.

CALM AND FOCUS

Along with the numerous physical health benefits to a yoga-based wellness programme, companies will also see a boost in productivity in the team by focusing on the calming and focussing the mind.

• Reduce Stress: The pressure of the workplace can impact enormously on employee’s emotion, motivation and ultimately productivity. Yoga postures, help ease the physical discomfort that is caused by anxiety. There are multiple ways in which yoga can relieve stress.

• Increase Focus: Combining movement and breathing leaves no room for a wandering mind. This helps to focus on the present and learn to focus on the task in hand. An imperative skill in a fast-paced environment.
