How
can yoga help?
All
stress, both physical and mental, is stored somewhere in the body and
true stress reduction is a matter of discovering how to release that
tension on both levels. Yoga is the art and science of reducing mental
and physical stress while increasing strength, flexibility, energy,
and awareness.
Yoga is much
more than an exercise class. It offers simple, safe, and practical
techniques that quickly reduce tension and stress in your employees.
Plus, it is easy to do, portable and, best of all, cost effective.
In our yoga programs the participant will experience proven and practical
techniques that can have immediate and long-term effects. They will
face the workday armed with an arsenal of stress-combating exercises
they can do right in the office.
