Sometimes corporate work can be overwhelming and stressful, and employees may find it hard to switch off from this fast-paced environment. Unfortunately, this can lead to burnout and a lack of productivity. Here are 5 ways that participating in workplace yoga and meditation can improve your employee’s mental and physical health, while also enhancing their performance.
-
It boosts your energy.
Regular yoga will help your employees build more energy and sleep better. Better rest and more energy will result in boosted productivity in your business. Even better, more energised staff means less absenteeism!
-
It makes you more resilient to stress
Studies show that participating in yoga and meditation substantially improves emotional wellbeing and increases resilience to stress. Incorporating this for your business will lead to happier, healthier, and more productive employees that are more equipped to handle more stressful periods.
-
It increases your focus
Focussed employees get more work done – so why not help your staff improve on this skill through yoga and meditation? The breathing techniques and movements used in these sessions help to significantly improve focus and boost productivity in the workplace.

It improves your posture
Incorporating yoga in your business will be especially beneficial if your employees spend long days sitting at desks, as sitting for prolonged periods of time can damage the spine and lead to pain. Yoga helps to correct poor posture and strengthens your entire body – including the spine.
