Workplace Yoga

Employee Yoga is being embraced by many progressive businesses and is a great benefit to both employers and employees. When we are healthy, we are better able to face challenges and give our best to any endeavor that we undertake. Yoga provides a balance of relaxation, stress management training, and physical fitness. This approach can have a powerful impact on overall atmosphere, performance, and costs. Recent research indicates that companies who offer Yoga and wellness programs to their employees reduce their health insurance premiums and thereby improve their bottom line.

For every $1 invested in workplace wellness, a company can expect $3 in cost savings or benefits. – University of Michigan Research Center
