On-site yoga also provides convenience, quality and consistency in programming and instruction to employees. An in-house yoga program can be designed for virtually any type of company, from small businesses with a localized workforce to larger corporations with a variety of divisions. Some of the proven benefits of having yoga on-site include:
◊Convenient, direct access without the potential intimidation of a yoga studio
◊Tailored classes and sequences designed for specific company needs, such as “Yoga for Seated Workers” or “Yoga for Repetitive Strain Injuries”
◊Quality control that is unavailable in a public class setting
◊Skill, experience and consistency in staffing to promote an injury-free, enjoyable experience for all levels
◊Offering yoga as a component of an integrated approach to health informs employees that their wellness is important
◊Help prevent and address work-related injuries
◊A unique, shared experience for staff that can promote cooperation and team-building in the workplace
◊An opportunity to measure the impact of yoga on workplace productivity, injury prevention, general job satisfaction, etc.
