Yoga for All

Just because yoga is becoming a hot-ticket for wellness programs in many large and small companies doesn’t mean we should expect all businesses to start up yoga sessions during the workday. It’s great that many are waking up to the fact that they can have both healthy, happy employees and high profits, and you should definitely take advantage of these programs if available.

But what if you don’t have the option? In our technologically-advanced world, you can still enjoy yoga even if there isn’t a corporate-sponsored program where you work.

Team Up

I f you prefer to participate in a group activity, talk to some of your colleagues and find other people who understand how beneficial yoga is and want to start tapping into the goodness. Even if you work in a small office, it’s a good bet you’ll be able to find a few folks who would love to spend part of their lunch break doing yoga.

Don’t let the fact that you don’t have a live yoga instructor stop you There are many online streaming yoga courses available and more being introduced all the time. And they are very affordable. Have your work buddies chip in and get a membership to one of the streaming yoga apps available, then use a table or laptop to stream the yoga classes through. Just like in-person classes, most of the online classes have a wide range of types of yoga, skill levels, length of classes and focus areas. If you and your group decide you want to focus on eliminating the chronic back and shoulder pain you all experience from sitting at a computer all day, you can definitely find it in the memberships. If you feel you only have 20 minutes to practice, no problem. You can find ones that meet that need and many more. We’ll take a deeper look at these programs later.

Go Solo

What if you work alone or you are the only one in your office interested in benefits of yoga during your workday? Same goes. Get an affordable membership to a streaming yoga program, scope out a rarely-used conference room, push the chairs aside and go for it. No one even need know where you are or what you’re doing if you don’t want them to. It boils down to this: if you want to tap into your body’s wisdom, relieve stress, eliminate built-up tension and work more efficiently, not to mention happily, you can find a way to make yoga at work happen for you.

Top Yoga Streaming Sites

Even though technology can keep us busier and on the go, it also has many advantages that can improve our lives. As we mentioned in the section above, you can find all manner of online yoga classes that you can take with you wherever you go—including to the office. Here’s a short list of three popular sites you might want to check out.

Yoga Download

This site offersliterally thousands of yoga classes in different difficulty levels, styles of yoga and length of classes.

Yoga FAQs

Many people who have never tried yoga before learn about its benefits by attending a session at their place of work. If you’ve wanted to give it a go but weren’t sure how practical it would be, you should find some comfort in the information below.

Won’t I need a shower afterward?

Yoga isn’t like working out at the gym. While it will take some effort and you might work up a light sweat, you aren’t going to be covered in the stuff. There’s no need to worry you’ll offend your coworkers after yoga.

What if I’m not flexible?

You may have seen pictures of yogis doing crazy pretzel poses and decided you can’t do yoga. But they can do that because they’ve been practicing for years and years. There’s no expectation of how flexible you will be—and, as you continue to practice, you’ll become more flexible. One of the great things about yoga is that everyone can do it. And it’s easily modified for all skill levels and ranges.

I ’m afraid I’ll get behind in my work if I take that long of a break. Many research studies have shown that practicing yoga greatly improves your productivity due to deeper focus and stamina. You’ll notice that you work more efficiently when you take the time to attend a corporate yoga class so you won’t need as much time to complete tasks as before.

I don’t want to buy the equipment for another exercise type. Most of us have like-new workout equipment we bought and never used. In yoga, your body is your equipment, so there’s very little that you need. Many corporate yoga instructors have mats and other tools to loan out to those people in the class. So it’s likely you won’t need to buy anything to get started enjoying the benefits of a yoga practice.
