"Whether
or not studies have actually proven that productivity is up and
health care costs are down, anecdotally, the evidence is overwhelming.
Companies understand you have to address employees' health and
well-being. Employees need time to relax, and a lot of people
are gravitating toward yoga as a way to manage stress."
Edie Weiner, President of Weiner, Edrich, Brown, Inc. New York
Trend Analyst Firm
"
We have a yoga class for the teachers
at my school every week. Each participant has learned how to incorporate
yoga practices into their lives for stress release, muscle tone
and balance, and for over-all mental and physical well-being.
Our weekly class has been something to which we all look forward."
Suzie Moss-High, Teacher, Adobe Bluffs Elementary
" My first yoga class at work left my muscles warm and my
mind refreshed. I returned to my job with what felt like an entirely
new body. Though I participate in various sports, I have never
experienced anything as physically and mentally stimulating as
yoga. I discovered that yoga is an activity that doesn't just
stop at the end of a lesson. The focus and energy from the class
carries over into the rest of the workday. Simply releasing shoulder
and neck tension after finishing a task or adjusting seated posture
can make a vast amount of difference in my energy level. Being
able to achieve focus and summon the energy needed to perform
one's job, even when exhausted, is an invaluable skill."
