Excerpt from the Yoga Journal Article:

Decrease workplace stress
At HBO in New York, employee health and fitness director Bill Boyle can't keep pace with the demand for yoga classes. He recently added a third class to the weekly schedule and would add more if he had room. Boyle attributes the boom in yoga at HBO to rising levels of workplace stress. "Everybody is under more stress now, and has to perform better, and work more hours per day. Yoga gives them a chance to take it all in stride." Boyle is convinced that the investment HBO is making to subsidize yoga classes for employees is well worth it. "The deep breathing and relaxation employees get from yoga help them to be more focused and less anxious. When they go back to work, they're in a position to make better decisions. You don't want people making business decisions when they're stressed." 

 It's not just large corporations with deep pockets like HBO that are bringing yoga into the workplace. 

Students who do yoga at the workplace often move swiftly in and out of a class scheduled between meetings and work commitments. But yoga helps them go back to work with a clearer head. It provides an opportunity to let everything go for one hour during the workday, to find quiet and stillness, focus on breathing, and allow for relaxation. "A freer body gives you a more open mind," says Theresa McCullough, who teaches at HBO. "How you feel physically is going to affect how you function mentally," she reasons.

I'm so excited to be offering corporate yoga in downtown Vancouver... Here is yet another article showing yet again how beneficial yoga is to office productivity and health!

"Many people are surprised when they learn that you can increase productivity through yoga sessions. Yes, it's true. 

There are numerous companies in the corporate world that focus on conducting corporate yoga sessions in order to enhance the work productivity. It means that yoga gurus can help the corporate sector. Whether you own a small office or a huge enterprise, these yoga classes can help you gain a significant position in the corporate map.

In the past few years, the number of office workers has increased, with the introduction of the personal computer. Spending long hours in front of a computer machine can create a multitude of back, neck, shoulder, spine, hip, and wrist problems. These areas have muscle groups which respond with tension and a variety of long-term problems in case they are ignored by office workers and management.

According to a study conducted by The Medical Research Institute, New Zealand, it has been studied that office workers may be at a higher risk of developing blood clots. Believing on this belief and not jumping to conclusions, anyone who understands body structure would realize that this makes perfect sense.

Based on these various medical studies, today a large number of companies are now adopting this natural way to bring harmony among employees. A short corporate yoga session can help release muscle tension and alleviate the routine pains and aches, which often result from prolonged sitting. The companies which take pro-active measures, by installing corporate yoga programs, are taking positive action toward health solutions for employees – thus, increasing productivity, while decreasing sick time, tardiness, and medical leave.

Corporate yoga instigates an atmosphere of reduced anxiety, less stress, positive thinking, and increased morale. Nothing is more rewarding than feeling worthy and being treated with respect. It is pretty much easier for a small company to start corporate yoga sessions...."
