Across the nation, more and more companies are recognizing the value of offering yoga classes at work to their employees, as part of their stress reduction and corporate wellness programs.

The evidence shows that when yoga is practiced at work, the physical, emotional and mental tension reducing techniques are immediately transferred to the workplace. Employees will experience an increase in their ability to cope more effectively with stressful situations and have greater energy and enthusiasm for their work. With healthy practices in the workplace, you increase productivity, lower absenteeism, decrease employee benefit costs, and increase your desirability to potential employees.

Yoga is a simple and cost effective way to promote physical activity and improve mental health, and demonstrates leadership in making employee wellness a priority in your business. Yoga in the Workplace offers on-site, group or individual, yoga lessons to various types of business and organizations around the Halifax Regional Municipality. We are committed to integrating the values and benefits of yoga study and practice into professional life.

Employees come together as a group for a 30 to 60 minute yoga practice in the office, once a week or more. Yoga at work is a convenient and cost effective way to fit a healthy practice into the workday.

Lead by example. A company committed to the health and safety of their staff understands that it’s good business to invest in the wellness of its employees
