A General Introduction

Relax!

Sit straight, and meditate with your eyes closed… Take a Break. Feel that chakra. Hey! Hold on, see that negativity is vent out and, positivity is nurtured, stress is dispelled! Within a fraction of a time, though, you are at work!

It’s not about any magic; it’s about the magical power-boosting Yoga, a spiritual discipline that focuses on bringing harmony between mind, body, and soul. It’s an art of healthy living with peace, as the word yoga is derived from the Sanskrit root “YUJ,” which states “Reunion.”

This old substantial, mental and spiritual practice is finding goodwill in offices of different corners of this sphere as a part of a commercial wellness program. Many companies are spending a big share of monetary investments to uplift the overall well-being of their employees. Yoga enhances employees’ physical health, logical thinking, reasoning power, emotional quotient, and the company’s work culture. It helps the staff stay cool in every situation and maintain a cordial ambience on the premises.

Why to opt?

The latest survey reported that by hiking the expenses on the wellness program, the companies have saved on health care costs over time. The major reason for the illness is their lifestyle, stress, and anxiety. The trend has gone beyond installing a gym in the office or offering to cover fitness centre membership fees. Full-suit wellness programs revolving around Yoga are the demand of the time. It is a cost-effective, preventive, and holistic health care measure.

Benefits of Yoga

Some benefits are quoted clearly, which may motivate one to go for Yoga with work:
It can bring immediate results in physical improvements like the relief of head, neck, and back strain, high Blood pressure, and relief from stress, anxiety, and negativity.
Can improve attentiveness, multi-tasking, and decision-making.
A new perception of effort and elevated levels of inventiveness.
Enhanced alertness and energy levels.

Yoga gives the workforce a sense of association and belonging. When you move and breathe together, it forms a meaningful bond.

• Sensitivity to connection with the body can bring a sense of self-assurance and empowerment.
• Movement can be a vast stress reliever. Bodily activity, stretching, and short meditation breaks interrupt the train of stress we encounter in a normal working day and provide an opportunity for better relationships with ourselves and others.
• All work and no play—employees are having more fun doing Yoga than they would in some other type of exercise.

Shared yoga practice benefits individuals differently, but a sustained program certainly reduces malingering due to illness and results in higher energy levels – a key pointer to workplace wellness. Human resources often develop a more optimistic attitude, which reflects their work – particularly in areas like customer service. Workplace yoga will play an increasingly outsized role in today’s health-conscious corporate world. Yoga is not an expression of who you are; it is about determining who you are; it is about changing the very fundamentals of one’s existence.
