You know the word; better yet, you know the feeling. And we all know stress can cause long-term health issues including headaches, heart disease, depression and anxiety. Stress is even linked to cancer and not to mention, causes irritability, unhappiness, and in some instances anti-social tendencies with friends and family.
Workplace exercise and team building events are both fantastic ways to restore wellness into your day. If you’re lucky enough to work for a company where it offers health Add Mediaprograms and/or an on-site gym, take advantage!
If yoga is offered at your workplace, then I highly encourage you to swap your stress for a class. Yoga has been recognized to help deal with stress in teens, elderly, pregnant women, hospital staff and patients. The benefits of yoga are being shared more and more each year by the thousands of people who’ve learned to shake their Asana…and stress…away.
Planning a yoga class for your team
If workplace yoga is something you’re interested in for yourself or your team, first talk to your manager and/or HR department and see if there are classes available sponsored by your work.
Alternatively, many people hire yoga instructors to come in to their workplace for group classes before, during or after work to inspire, de-stress and recharge their team. Or if you’re planning a big meeting, why not have a break with a 20-30 minute “better than coffee” break? Here are some options:
Yoga classes are fresh, fun and well liked. Setting up yoga classes for your team is encouraging, motivational, and not to mention a great way to stay active during the work week.
