The Benefits of Exercise and Work: Yoga
The changing work environment increasingly places physical and mental demands and stress on employees and the self-employed. This work-related stress can lead to many issues such as; muscle aches, depression, a drop in work performance, anxiety, reduced productivity, low morale, and accidents.
Searching for ways to deal with the stressful work environment, workers are discovering the enormous benefits of yoga-based wellness programs.
Take Breaks at Work
Taking yoga breaks throughout the workday has proven to be one of the most effective ways of helping office workers relieve stress and become refreshed and more focused. In turn, this will enable better decision making, increased productivity, and help workers have a more positive attitude with colleagues.
