Workplace Wellness

Creating a healthy work environment, managing work-life balance, ergonomic practices, and promoting mental and physical well-being at work

Yoga can be practised individually or in a group setting, and both can have a significant positive impact on the practitioner. Start doing yoga now for better physical and mental health; it will increase your stamina and keep you energised all day. By establishing a group exercise session like yoga up to three times per week in corporate facilities, businesses can also experience benefits such as greater employee satisfaction, good physical and mental health, lower rates of turnover, increased productivity, and higher employee morale.

Practising Work Life Balance

We must put in place a framework in our lives that will facilitate this harmonic balancing act between our personal and professional activities if we are to attain work-life balance. We become so engrossed in our busy schedules that we simply forget to live. While having a purpose for our work lives is crucial, we should also have one for our personal lives. So many people are unable to live this life in a way that is genuinely joyful because they are mired in a rut, like hamsters spinning in circles. Stress and worry as a result of this have caused a great deal of mental suffering. The practise of spirituality offers a remedy for this imbalance.

Chair Yoga benefits at Workplace

Chair yoga may be used to enhance posture, increase flexibility, and enhance balance while preventing injury, among many other emotional and spiritual advantages. When you adapt yoga postures to be performed while seated in a chair, the practise is known as chair yoga. You should stretch, bend, and twist at least once per hour, whether at work or at home.

Chair Spinal Twist - Ardha Matsyendrasana

· Come to sit sideways on the chair, facing to the left.

· Twist your torso toward the right, holding onto the back of the chair, for a spinal twist.

· Elongate your spine on each inhale and twist on each exhale for five breaths.

· Shift your legs around to the left side of the chair and repeat the twist to the right side.

Chair Veera Bhadrasana

· As you exhale, stretch out to open up the arms with the right arm coming forward and the left arm going back.

· Pull the left hip back and turn the torso to the left, so that it is aligned with the front of the chair.

Chair Eagle – Garudasana
