"
The Effects of workplace related stress
are no surprise to today's employers. A 1992 UN report called job stress
- The 20th Century Epidemic."
"
The World Health Organization called job stress a "World Wide Epidemic."
"
The National Science Foundation reports that over 30% of American adults
experience enough daily stress to impact their performance at home or
at work."
" The American Institute for stress has implicated stress
as the cause of nearly 90% of doctor visits in the U.S. The total annual
costs of stress to the average employer are staggering."
"
According to the US Department of labor, two thirds of reported cases
of occupational stress are experienced by white collar workers, and
repetitive stress injuries have risen 1000% in the past 14 years. These
claims carry with them an estimated average expense exceeding $14,000
per company."

per week. This means that... the average employee is assuming more
and more responsibilities and dealing with unprecedented challenges.
All of this leads to an alarming amount
of stress in our lives.
Stress

injury and turnover

Yoga is
a scientific discipline that offers practical and definitive
results while addressing tension in both the body and the mind.
Yoga at the workplace has become popular in many companies nationwide
because of the stress reduction benefits and the low cost of
implementation.
Unlike other
exercise routines yoga is low impact, improves strength and
flexibility, builds concentration, and reduces mental and physical
stress and tension. In addition, yoga is known to eradicate
fatigue and generate energy, all of which lead to
increased productivity and morale. Yoga exercises are
simple and can be modified for different
skill levels and abilities
- perfect for the office environment!
While most
stress management workshops just talk about how to deal with
stress, our yoga programs get results. Your employees will
learn
and experience proven techniques that have immediate and lasting
effects.
