YOGA - THE WORKOUT FOR THE NEW MILLENIUM
Stress-related injuries and conditions are increasing every day.
Why? The average work week is increasing from 40 to 50 hours, or more. 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.
Stress impacts our work environment by:
- Reducing productivity and morale
- Increasing injury and turnover
- Raising benefits expenses
How prevalent is job stress?
“The Effects of workplace related stress are no surprise to today’s employers. A 1992 UN report called job stress—The 20th. Century Epidemic.”
“The World Health Organization called job stress a "World Wide Epidemic.”
“The National Science Foundation reports that over 30% of American adults experience enough daily stress to impact their performance at home or at work.”
“The American Institute for stress has implicated stress as the cause of nearly 90% of doctor visits in the U.S. The total annual costs of stress to the average employer are staggering.”
“According to the US Department of labor, two thirds of reported cases of occupational stress are experienced by white collar workers, and repetitive stress injuries have risen 1000% in the past 14 years. These claims carry with them an estimated average expense exceeding $14,000 per company.”
Yoga can help!
We specialize in combating stress with our customized corporate and organizational yoga-based programs.
Yoga is a scientific discipline that offers practical and definitive results while addressing tension in both the body and the mind. Yoga at the workplace has become popular in many companies nationwide because of the stress reduction benefits and the low cost of implementation.
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!
While most stress management workshops just talk about how to deal with stress, our yoga programs get results. Your employees will learn and experience proven techniques that have immediate and lasting effects.
