Why Yoga and Mindfulness for Corporate Teams?
Simply put, health is wealth.
Businesses thrive when they are built upon a foundation of healthy and happy employees. Evidenced-based wellness practices promote health for the individual to comprise a healthy whole. Thriving companies such as Patagonia, Starbucks, Aetna, Google, MVF Global, and Facebook, are making mindfulness an integral part of their work culture.
“It’s not about having a bad day at work and then going to yoga so you can feel better,” Melissa Daimler, head of learning and organizational development at Twitter, shared during an event hosted by Impact Hub San Francisco about the future of leadership and development. “Business and our work environments are the cornerstone for not only transforming organizations, but ourselves.”
Improved Performance
When the mind is clear, there is more leeway for problem-solving, collaboration and creative thinking.
Promotes Work | Life Balance
Yoga and meditation address the emotional and physical effects of stress. Stress can be housed in the body especially when individuals sit for long periods. Yoga and meditation build resilience. Resilience mitigates the effects of stress that negatively impact performance.
Strong Individuals Make Strong Teams
Yoga and travel provide teams with shared experiences that promote bonding without competition. Increased morale leads to increased job satisfaction.
Boosted morale + job satisfaction= increased productivity.
Happiness Promotes Sustained Loyalty
Employees who feel happy and valued stick around and contribute to a positive work environment that fosters the same in their peers. Companies yield a positive return on their investment in regards to retention (reducing hiring costs) loyalty and work ethic.
“The services offered by Blue Lotus Retreats provided the perfect complement to our annual company meeting. Mindful movement and introduction to meditation set the tone for a fun yet focused weekend. The yoga practice was very accessible so everyone could participate. I want my team to feel valued and provide them with the tools they need to be well as individuals, so we can thrive as a team. Blue Lotus Retreats provides just that. My team loved it! Blue Lotus Retreats is now an integral part of our annual meeting and employee development program.”
