Wellness on the Job. Let the Yoga Studio come to you!

Yoga has been known to reduce the number of sick days in the workplace, lower health care costs, and improve the overall health of people who practice yoga. Your employees will return to work recharged physically, mentally and emotionally. One of the most wonderful things about yoga is that it can be practiced anywhere, in a studio or gym, on a beach or a mountain top, or even in your office or workplace. There are some simple yoga stretches and techniques which you can perform even when sitting at a desk or a computer. Taking a short break to do some quick yoga stretches has many benefits. Stretching increases blood flow to the brain, which makes it easier for us to concentrate and think clearly. And it also helps alleviate the #1 work-related health problem: stress. We work around your schedule. Take a 45 Minute Yoga break during your lunch hour and spend the evening at home. Yoga mats, blankets, and props will be provided.

The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health estimates that 40 percent of the nation’s work force is affected by stress, making it the No. 1  reason for worker disability.

Stress costs American businesses about $10,000 annually per employee, in absenteeism, lower productivity and increasing health and worker’s compensation costs, with an overall economic impact of about $300 billion, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
