Yoga offers countless benefits in the workplace. I can design 30-min or 60-min sessions tailored to fit your team's needs that incorporate any or all of the styles and benefits you are looking for.
Physical
Description
Less active: I can teach simple stretches and exercises that can be done at/around the desk (many can be done in a desk chair!) to improve postural awareness and combat common physical ailments associated with desk jobs. Areas of focus will include the spine, shoulders, neck, wrists, and hips—all of which are negatively impacted by long periods of desk sitting.
More active: I can teach accessible sequences suitable for all ability levels and body types to offer movement as a physical, emotional, and mental respite from the many hours spent at a desk each week and to slowly build the foundations of a yoga practice.
Benefits
- Improve posture
- Release physical tension
- Stretch the muscles
- Open the joints
- Increase energy levels
- Improve morale
Energetic
Description
I can teach some simple breathing exercises which can be done discreetly anywhere (at a desk, on a coffee break, etc.) that can reduce stress and anxiety, improve mood regulation, and either increase or decrease energy levels depending on a person’s needs.
Benefits
- Reduce stress
- Help manage anxiety
- Think clearly in stressful/emotional situations
- Regulate energy levels
Mental
Description
I can teach some simple meditation techniques that can be practiced for as little as 2-5 minutes to promote stillness and clarity in the mind. Over time (especially when practiced consistently) these practices help develop a stronger sense of self-awareness which leads to a number of significant mental benefits.
Benefits
- Improve focus and clarity (and productivity!)
- Improve decision-making
- Increase resilience
- Increase self-awareness
- Improve teamwork and emotional intelligence
