Yoga in the workplace
Having long proven to provide many mental and physical benefits, Yoga is increasingly finding its way into the workplace. Benefits include:

- Yoga can help to get your heart pumping and blood flowing through dynamic movements and poses releasing endorphins.
- Doing any form of physical activity increases blood circulation and promotes oxygenation which is crucial for energy production.
- Stress can lead to lower energy and burnout in the long run.
Benefit: Improves concentration and focus
- Deadlines, demanding workload and meetings can create a mental clutter that prevents you from concentrating on tasks and making intelligent decisions.
- Yoga, meditation and breathwork are a great way to effectively silence the noise and free the mind of clutter, aiding productivity.
- The increase in blood circulation from practicing Yoga also helps to improve brain function for a sharp and focused mind.
