Welcome OUR MISSION To provide Yoga classes and workshops designed to increase employee productivity, mental and physical health, and well being for optimal workforce performance. OUR PURPOSE Yoga is a scientific discipline of removing or eradicating stress and tension at its source. All tension, 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 programs directly address tension in both the body and the mind. Our classes remove stress from both sources since tension in one area has a direct effect on the other. This is crucial for all employees, and especially for heart patients, since stress directly and indirectly affects the heart and heart health. The classes offer simple, safe, and practical techniques that quickly reduce tension and stress at any time and place, especially in the office. Our classes provide you with the following: • Ways to identify stress signals and indicators • Posture improvement for tension management • Strength building for greater resistance to stress • Techniques for the workplace designed to alleviate tension before it builds into stress • Safe exercises (designed over 2,500 years ago) that bring more energy to the body • Breathing techniques that support healthy "Mood Management" • Techniques designed to reduce stress, blood pressure, angina, and other symptoms and risks for those who have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, have had heart surgery, or are otherwise at risk for heart problems (Corporate Cardiac Yoga®). |
| Consider this... " 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." " 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." " 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." |
