"Many doctors now prescribe yoga for patients suffering from heart disease, arthritis, or diabetes. Imagine what it can do for people whose biggest complaint is stress headaches."
-Journal of American Medical Association
"Whether or not studies have actually proven that productivity is up and health care costs are down, anecdotally, the evidence is overwhelming. Companies understand you have to address employees' health and well-being. Employees need time to relax, and a lot of people are gravitating toward yoga as a way to manage stress"
-Edie Weiner, President of Weiner, Edrich, Brown, Inc. New York Trend Analyst Firm
BREAK THE CYCLE OF WORKPLACE STRESS INJURIES
The average workweek is increasing from 40 to 50 hours, or more, per week. This means that the average employee is assuming more and more responsibilities and dealing with unprecedented challenges. All of this leads to an alarming amount of stress in our lives.
Yoga is a scientific discipline of removing or eradicating stress and tension at its source.
All tension, both physical and mental, is stored somewhere in the body and true stress reduction is a matter of discovering how to release that tension on both levels.
Unlike other exercise routines yoga is low impact, improves strength and flexibility, builds concentration, and reduces mental and physical stress and tension. In addition, yoga is known to eradicate fatigue and generate energy, all of which lead to increased productivity and morale. Yoga exercises are simple and can be modified for different skill levels and abilities - perfect for the office environment!
